Pearl Jam scores the week’s highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, which also sees the Black Eyed Peas, Jay Sean and Creed all making waves. Entering at No. 56 is the Seattle rock band’s “The Fixer,” which earns Pearl Jam its best-ever download sales week with 32,000 tracks. The last time Pearl Jam was on the Hot 100 was in 2006 with “World Wide Suicide,” which debuted and peaked at No. 41 the week it sold 20,000 downloads.

In May, Pearl Jam played a secret show at Seattle’s Showbox in anticipation of their new album Backspacer. Now, the result of that surreptitious concert has been revealed in the Cameron Crowe-directed video for the new LP’s first single “The Fixer.” Another track off the LP, “Supersonic,” leaked out this weekend as fans began receiving the 7′’ inch single for “The Fixer,” which boasted “Supersonic” as its B side.
