No I think Lightning Bolt is their best bet, and maybe Getaway. They are both songs that could be played across multiple radio formats. Infallible is great, but it just does not have that cross media potential. It is like an Immortality or Sleight of Hand. Great songs but anything outside of an alternative rock station is not going to have the patience for them.
I see your point, but Infallible is more accessible than Sleight of Hand definitely and maybe more so than immortality...not saying it's a better song, but more digestible for a mainstream audience.
Eh. There is no winner left. They are all pretty good Pearl Jam songs (better than Backspacer), but not good fits for modern radio. Anything other than SBM would blend into the other dad-rock tracks out there as they lack the mainstream verse-chorus-verse sing-a-long appeal of Imagine Dragons or the bland pop idiocy of The Script. Plus I would be embarrassed as a Pearl Jam fan if that
"making love like the lizards" line was on the radio.
Best lyric in the song.
(I like it too.)
Me three.

I have no strong opinion either way.

Here in Australia 'Getaway' has been released just this week as the third single sans a video. Think it's a Promo.

As in, it's a song sent to radio for promotional purposes, but not really intended as a single, so it's not accompanied by a video like "MYM" and "Sirens" were. In the pre-internet days it would mean that there was no commercially available "single" release either, but obviously those things don't really happen anymore, so...

400k shipped seems reasonable.
94 on Billboard this week. Dropping like a rock.

Future Days at 271 for songs on Itunes.
Lightning Bolt back in the top 200 at 170.
I am curious if this will have legs.

It's #5 currently for rock songs. I suppose it's 271 overall or something.

When I look at that rock list the first thing I think of is "relevant."

Rock music is well entrenched in a debt-riddled, nostalgic middle age.
Two coffees, fear, and the familiar, please. And we'll take that to go.
