Description :
Nevermind is the second studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24 , in 1991. Produced by Butch Vig , Nevermind was the group 's first release on DGC Records. Frontman Kurt Cobain sought to make music outside the restrictive confines of the Seattle grunge scene , drawing influence from groups such as the Pixies and their use of song volume dynamics .
Despite low commercial expectations by the band and its record label , Nevermind became a surprise success in late 1991 , largely due to the popularity of its first single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit ." By January 1992 , it had replaced Michael Jackson 's album Dangerous at number one on the Billboard 200 chart . The album also produced three other successful singles : " Come as You Are ," " Lithium " and " In Bloom ." The Recording Industry Association of America has certified the album Diamond (over 10 million copies shipped ) , and the album has sold over 30 million copies worldwide . Nevermind was responsible for bringing alternative rock to a large mainstream audience , and has been ranked highly on lists of the greatest albums of all time by publications such as Rolling Stone and Time .
