Pearl Jam Earns Billboard Chart First

Pearl Jam‘s new single “Dark Matter” has earned the band a career first.

The track has hit #1 on Billboard‘s Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, a feat that no other PJ song has achieved.

The ranking, which began in 2009, measures combined airplay across rock- and alternative-formatted radio stations.

“Dark Matter” has also reached the top 10 on both Mainstream Rock Airplay and Alternative Airplay. “Dark Matter” is the lead single and title track off Pearl Jam’s upcoming 12th studio album, due out April 19.
