            It seems like this album should be approaching gold status by now. Next month it will have been 30 months since its release. I understand that albums aren't selling as well any more, but it seems like every Pearl Jam studio album should be a guaranteed gold album in the United States within approximately one year of release. Perhaps this final leg of the American tour in 2016 will finally push the total U.S. sales over the 500,000 mark. Hopefully the next studio album will have a couple hugely popular singles that will propel the album to gold status fairly quickly. I sure wish I had access to track the RIAA numbers for album sales so I wouldn't have to speculate about the timing of such things!

 It costs too much to get those numbers. Someone here worked someplace where they got soundscan numbers. But they stopped getting themJimFletcherPearlJam said:It seems like this album should be approaching gold status by now. Next month it will have been 30 months since its release.

 I don't understand Sirens. Was it a hit or not? The numbers on youtube tell me it was a pretty big hit.JimFletcherPearlJam said:It seems like this album should be approaching gold status by now.

            I like it when it's played live. Don't think it was a hit with PJ fans as most seem to treat it as a "piss break" at shows. Now I did hear it being played in the grocery store.... So it's reached some level of hit music.London Ontario 2013, Buffalo New York 2013, Lincoln Nebraska 2014, Quebec City 20160
