- Yield debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over 200,000 copies in its first week.
- The album's lead single, "Given to Fly," became one of Pearl Jam's most enduring and popular songs, reaching number 3 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

Pearl Jam is a rock band that emerged from Seattle's grunge scene in the early 1990s, known for their energetic live performances and socially conscious lyrics. By 1998, the band had moved beyond their initial explosion in popularity, seeking a more consistent and less volatile creative period following internal shifts and personnel changes.
