ABOUT THE RECORD Vs., by American rock band Pearl Jam, occupied the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart for five weeks and sold 950,378 copies in its first five days of release and outperformed all other entries in the Billboard top ten that week combined. This set the record for most copies of an album sold in its first week of release. The album has been certified seven times platinum by the RIAA in the United States. Vs. included the hit singles Go, Daughter, Animal, and Dissident. All four singles placed on the Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts. Daughter was the most successful song from Vs on the rock charts, reaching the number one spot on both the Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts, spending a total of eight weeks at number one on the former. Vs featured a rawer and more aggressive sound compared with the band's previous release. It was the band's first collaboration with producer Brendan O'Brien. Pearl Jam decided to scale back its commercial efforts for Vs., including declining to produce music videos for any of the album’s singles. The album's cover art, photographed by Ament, features a black-and-white picture of a sheep from a farm in Hamilton, Montana. According to Ament, the cover was a representation of how the band felt at the time, with Ament stating "we were slaves." Originally, the album was titled Five Against One (The song "Animal" features the lyric "One, two, three, four, five against one..."). Concerning the original album title, Gossard said, "For me, that title represented a lot of struggles that you go through trying to make a record...Your own independence—your own soul—versus everybody else's." The album title was changed at the last minute, first to a self-titled album and then to Vs., a nod to the general theme of conflict present in most of the songs on the album. Regarding the title Vs., Vedder said, "They were writing all these articles...Our band against somebody else's band. What the hell are they talking about? You know, don't try to separate the powers that be. We're all in this together."
