Nirvana’s second album, ‘Nevermind’ ushered in a new era for rock music, backed by the massive hit single ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit‘, and brought so-called ‘grunge’ to the masses, in doing so ending the hedonistic, overblown ‘stadium rock’ period virtually overnight.
After making little impact on the US charts upon its release, ‘Nevermind’s unrelenting popularity over the course of the next few months saw it finally hit the top spot on the Billboard 200 at the beginning of 1992. In addition, the record peaked at #7 on the UK Album chart.
Other events to mark the album’s anniversary are expected to be announced over the coming months.
Love the album – but i won’t be buying it again!
