90s Flashback
Monday, January 25, 2010 at 12:12PM This week's Flashback goes to Pearl Jam and the song Bugs from their 1994 Album Vitalogy.
Vitalogy was released first on vinyl on November 22, 1994, two weeks before the CD release. It debuted at number 55 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The album sold 35,000 copies in its first week of release. It was the first vinyl album to appear on the chart due to vinyl sales since the proliferation of compact discs. When Vitalogy was released on CD and cassette on December 6, 1994, it reached number one on the Billboard 200 album chart. The album sold more than 877,000 copies in its first week of release on CD and became the second-fastest-selling CD in history, behind only the band's previous release Vs. Vitalogy has been certified five times platinum by the RIAA, and, as of March 2007, has sold 4.7 million copies in the United States according to Nielsen SoundScan.
