Pearl Jam’s 1991 debut, “Ten,” has reached the 10 million mark in US sales.
Billboard reports "Ten" surpasses the 10 million U.S. sales mark this week according to Nielsen SoundScan, making it the 22nd album to reach the threshold since the company began tracking data in 1991.
In the week ending Feb. 17, the album sold nearly 4,000 copies (up 159% over the previous week), bringing its total sales to about 1,000 over 10 million.
"I'm happily shocked to hear that. Wow," Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready tells Billboard on hearing of the feat. Back when the album was recorded, "we had no idea that it was going to ever do that well. I just felt like it was a really cool record and that I was in a good band."
"Ten" is the fourth album to hit 10 million U.S. sales since the start of 2012. In that span of time, "Ten" follows Linkin Park's "Hybrid Theory," Usher's "Confessions" and Adele's blockbuster "21."
