    Original post updated for week ending August 15, 2020.  "Retrograde" falls from No. 11 to No. 20 at Triple-A and falls off the 50-position Rock Airplay chart.  "Superblood Wolfmoon" slips from No. 26 to No. 29 in its 25th week on the Canada Rock chart.

    Digital is now in the 3000-4000 rankings on the Amazon chart and out of the ITunes Rock Album. Hopefully they can perform on some show sometime this year to give it a boost.

    Quick Escape is and will always be the best choice for a radio single.  Who ever said is a close second but is a little long.  These are facts people, deal with it.
    I agree that Quick Escape would be the best choice...for most bands. But PJ has had a history of bucking convention with lead singles. It seems as if they like to put out a song showing "what's new" with them rather than putting out a song that they know will be a hit.

    Vitalogy: Spin the Black Circle. Obviously Better Man or Corduroy would get more airplay.
    No Code: Who You Are. Hail Hail would've been the better "traditional" lead single.
    Binaural: Nothing As It Seems. Grievance is more of the "rocking" PJ song that people expect.  
    Gigaton: Same thing. Like Hail Hail, Quick Escape is Pearl Jam being Pearl Jam. DOTC is them doing something new. 
    2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea. Hear. Now. 2022: Camden, 2024: Philly 2, 2025: Pittsburgh 1

    Original post updated for week ending August 22, 2020.  "Retrograde" plummets from No. 20 to No. 36 at Triple-A.  It is the only remaining Gigaton content on any Billboard chart, as "Superblood Wolfmoon" falls off the Canada Rock chart after 25 weeks.

    On another topic, as much as I love "Quick Escape," I am skeptical of its wider appeal because it lacks something that's usually a necessity for a radio hit: a proper chorus.  The chorus is just Eddie, sounding strangled, screaming "Quick Escape" as the backing vocalists croon "had to" in falsetto.  The verses carry the song.

    Original post updated for week ending August 29, 2020.  "Retrograde" exits the Triple-A chart after 16 weeks.  There is no longer any Gigaton content on any Billboard chart.

    Bummer. Oh well, it's been five months since the new album was released. I still love it!

    I hope you're doing that as a matter of convenience and not in an attempt to boost its chart performance.  Otherwise, you're sacrificing sound quality for nothing, because one person streaming doesn't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy, mixed-up world.

    I still listen to the physical. I mostly have it on mute on Spotify and have it on repeat

    Machine Gun Kelly. He's a rapper/actor. He was in Roadies, his character was fired by Pearl Jam. He was in The Dirt and played Tommy Lee

    The only PJ album I didn’t buy immediately and still have not bought 1 song. I keep going back and finding it boring. Too many side projects and other nonsense seem to be diluting the music.

    Gigaton still on the ITunes Rock Album charts. Thought it will fall out after many Van Halen albums entered. Glad it's still there even after new rock albums have been released
