PEARL JAM Score Highest-Ever Modern Rock Debut

March 15, 2006

Billboard.com is reporting that PEARL JAM have scored their highest-ever modern rock debut as their new single, "World Wide Suicide", lands at No. 3 on the Billboard Radio Monitor modern rock chart. The track, which also ranks No. 1 on the format's audience chart, landed 68 Airplay Adds (six or more spins in a week on a station for the first time) out of the format's 75 reporters.

"World" marks the quintet's 31st modern rock chart appearance, which is second all-time at the format to U2's 33. It's also the fifth song to debut within the top 3 in the chart's 17-year history and the highest since LINKIN PARK's "Somewhere I Belong" debuted at No. 2 in March 2003.

The track is drawn from PEARL JAM's upcoming self-titled eighth album, due May 2 via J Records. A North American tour begins May 9 in Toronto.
