Best single choice imo, I think this is in for Top 15 at the very least.

Good choice. It's slightly heavier, but nothing like "Mind Your Manners". Hoping this can see success on both formats, like "Sirens" before it.

I'm hoping this will do better on Active, unlike Amongst the Waves

I don't think it's a bad choice. Although, I would have rather had "Getaway," "My Father's Son," or "Swallowed Whole."

It's better than "Mind Your Manners" for me, probably on par with "Sirens"

"Mind Your Manners" > "Sirens" >> "Lightning Bolt"

I'd go:
Sirens > Lightning Bolt > Mind Your Manners
That said, how come this isn't doing much (yet) on Alternative? It looked like this song was going to start out strong, then slowed down. I wouldn't expect this to flop coming off a Top 5.

"Mind Your Manners" > "Sirens" >> "Lightning Bolt" Same with me. Not to say "Lightning Bolt" is anywhere near a bad song. |

Lightning Bolt and Mind Your Manners are about on par with me, with Sirens way ahead of them.
But yeah, I am kinda worried about its Alt prospects now since it has yet to show its head there.

Why is this song "Lightning Bolt" Not charting on ALT radio ? It's more alternative than "Mind Your Manners" which was more hard rock, only thing I can think of is that Pearl Jam is putting "Lightning Bolt" out only on ROCK radio and "Future Days" out on alt and triple A radio ?

Also I find it funny on the PEARL JAM official wiki page this song is listed as 2013, when I know for a fact it was not a single until march, 2014. Pearl Jam is really slacking on telling the fans and music community what are the singles ? I've heard "Lightning Bolt" the song numerous times on my local rock radio station but also "Future Days" on a pop station and "Swallowed Whole" on both rock radio and alt rock radio. I know "Lightning Bolt" the song is the ROCK RADIO single the Active/mainstream rock song. But the other two "Swallowed Whole" and "Future Days" seem to be getting airplay and attention. The fact that "Lightning Bolt" the song is not even top 40 alternative when "Mind Your Manners got into the top 5 on alternative tells me something is wrong. Weather it is Pearl Jam's management or what Idk, but someone on here should know whats up with Pearl Jam.

Also my two cents but I think if "Lightning Bolt" the song were on alternative radio, it would do pretty well. I don't get why it isn't besides the song "future days" maybe being the alternative single at the same time as "Lightning Bolt" being the rock single ? But then when I listen to the album "Swallowed Whole" is after "Lightning Bolt" the next best song , better than Mind Your Manners" or Sirens, I'm not a fan of ballads. If it was me I'd say "Lightning Bolt", "Swallowed Whole", Get Away", "Sirens" "Mind Your Manners" and "Future Days" In that order as singles to both Rock Radio and digital formats and ALT rock radio and digital formats.
Also on the Pearl Jam Wiki page for singles "Lightning Bolt" the song is listed as 2013 but when you click on it, it goes to a page that says "was released as a single in march 2014" Not to mention "Future Days" and "Swallowed Whole" both songs are getting airplay. "Get Away" is also getting air play outside of the U.S. I would love to know what is up with PEAL JAM and the new album Lightning Bolt. I have heard rumors of a 2014 fall tour with Sound Garden. I wish I knew what they were planning ? does anyone have any idea besides a few shows in summer 2013 overseas and "Lightning Bolt" as a single for rock radio ?

Their chart chronology differs greatly from their official single releases around the Vs. and Vitalogy era, but "Better Man" was the third song to chart off Vitalogy, and was their biggest hit of the era (#1 Main, #2 Alt). So you may or not be wrong on that, depending on whether you count all of their charted songs or just the official singles.

"Future Days" would probably be a top 5 on AAA, but wouldn't do much anywhere else. If they go for a fourth single, it's either "Getaway" or "My Father's Son", although it would be nice to see them throwing a curveball and releasing "Infallible".
