Yet another hit. I'm willing to bet this is a bigger hit then the first single from their next album.

can someone explain how that work?
Have they released it on a single you can buy? (and if so what's on the b-side?) if not how can it be in charts?

some of the charts are diff in the US. the modern rock chart might be based on radio play. generally people don't buy singles anymore in the US, although that's been changing with itunes.

The band with the most Modern Rock chart titles in the '90s and '00s takes over the chart's summit.

Pearl Jam earns its fourth No. 1 with "Brother," the band's 33rd entry dating to its 1992 arrival. "Daughter" (1994) and "Who You Are" (1996) led for a week apiece, and "World Wide Suicide" began a three-week reign in April 2006.

Imagine how quickly it would have gone #1 if it was the AiB/Ten rough mix version

I wonder if this means that they'll play it live on occasion though.

What the heck is Incubus' "Love Hurts" still doing on the chart, let alone being at the top of the chart?

Not on any of the US rock charts. It went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the band's biggest hit in the US. It did go to #1 in Australia.

Is this serious? How bad is modern rock that a nearly 20 year old song reaches number 1?

Not to be a downer, but this would have been far more noteworthy five years ago. There are so few "modern rock" stations left in the country, it's amazing there's still a chart. (It wouldn't surprise me if they eventually fold the modern rock and mainstream rock charts together.)

Having said that, the song is getting an impressive number of spins across the various rock formats - 3870 in the past week according to Mediabase.
