Pearl Jam is #1 on Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay chart (dated March 2nd) for the first time with “Dark Matter.” The song, which earned 5.6 million airplay audience impressions in its second week on the survey, is the title track of the band’s 12th studio album.
“There’s the melody and energy of the first couple of records,” explained PJ guitarist Mike McCready. “(Producer Andrew Watt) pushed us to play as hard and melodic and thoughtful as we’ve done in a long time.”
The “Dark Matter” album will arrive April 19th.
