Sony Legacy is predicting solid first-week numbers for its reissue of Pearl Jam's 1992 album "Ten"—55,000 total copies sold and, remarkably, 10,000 copies of the collector's edition, which is selling for $140 on the band's Web site and for $124.99 at Best Buy.

10,000 seems like a lot for the box set. I'm always curious how much those things sell.

Yeah, that is quite a bit. 55,000 is awesome for an album that has already sold over 9 million in the US alone. I bought it!

I don't really notice any differences in the remixes though. I was hoping for something wild.

Pearl Jam's Ten jumps to #1 on the Catalog Albums chart, thanks to the release of a 2-CD "Legacy Edition." The album sold 60,000 copies and would have ranked #5 on the big chart if older, catalog albums were eligible to compete there. This is the fattest weekly sales total for a non-holiday catalog album since Michael Jackson's Thriller 25 sold 63,000 copies in its second week in February 2008. (The album had sold 166,000 in its first week.) Thriller topped the catalog chart for 11 weeks last year. Another special salute to a classic album, Billy Joel's The Stranger: 30th Anniversary Edition, topped the catalog chart for one week in July with sales of 16,000.
In addition to helping to set the course of rock in the ‘90s, Ten was a commercial powerhouse. The album has sold 9,662,000 copies since its release in late 1991, which puts it at #19 on Nielsen/SoundScan's running tally of the best-selling albums in its history. Ten logged 35 weeks in the top 10, but didn't quite reach #1. How can it be that such a classic, massive-selling album failed to top the chart? It logged four weeks at #2 behind Billy Ray Cyrus' Some Gave All, the album that gave us "Achy Breaky Heart." Ten is far from the only classic and/or massive selling album that stalled at #2. The Stranger, which I just mentioned, is another one. So is Joni Mitchell's Court And Spark. And Shania Twain's Come On Over. And Def Leppard's Pyromania. On Friday, I'll have a Chart Watch Extra in which I look at albums that you would have sworn hit #1, but which actually stopped at #2. It's a fun list. Circle back here on Friday.
