Pearl Jam Releases New Album

"Backspacer" is Pearl Jam's newest album that was released Sunday. This is Pearl Jam's first album without a major label.

The group's new album is being put out by their own label called Monkeywrench, after releasing eight other albums on major labels, Epic and J.

"Backspacer" is the shortest album by Pearl Jam, lasting 37 minutes.

Industry prognostics believe that this album may reach No.1 and could move anywhere between 175,000 to 200,000 copies by the end of the week.

"Backspacer" could possible be Pearl Jam's first No.1 album in 13 years.

Pearl Jam's last No.1 album was "No Code," which they released in 1996. It became the group's third chart-topper.

The last Pearl Jam album was released in 2006 and reached No.2 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Pearl Jam's "Backspacer" is being exclusively sold in the United States through iTunes, Target, Pearl Jam's website and independent retailers.
