Formed after the demise of Gossard and Ament's previous band, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with their debut album, "Ten", in 1991. "Ten" stayed on the "Billboard" 200 chart for nearly five years, and has gone on to become one of the highest-selling rock records ever, going 13x platinum in the United States. Released in 1993, Pearl Jam's second album, "Vs.", sold over 950,000 copies in its first week of release, setting the record for most copies of an album sold in its first week of release at the time. Their third album, "Vitalogy" (1994), became the second-fastest-selling CD in history at the time, with more than 877,000 units sold in its first week.
