Nobody cared about Nevermind or Badmotorfinger when they were released. - doubledown Yesterday, 10:53:37
- Not really true. Ten was already platinum months before Singles was released - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 18:09:42
  - Singles came out the summer of 1992* - timmer Yesterday, 18:58:22
    - Singles was released September 18 1992. So yes being literal it was summer - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 19:21:57
- I was in college and remember people waiting in line to buy Nevermind at midnight - DT Yesterday, 11:45:04
  - Nevermind sold 6000 copies in the first week in the US. The label famously had low expectations. * - doubledown Yesterday, 12:00:39
    - Maybe my fraternity was an anomaly, but we had 2-3 copies on day 1, out of 30 guys.* - DT Yesterday, 18:46:43
    - This feels like you are gaslighting us* - CoronaTheirAss Yesterday, 18:02:27
      - The Singles thing is kind of gaslighting. The 6000 first week sales is completely true. * - doubledown Yesterday, 18:16:39
        
        The highest sales were the first year. There was definitely a bit of the label not - CoronaTheirAss Yesterday, 18:46:15

    - 6k first week, platinum by thanksgiving* - ghost_of_clt Yesterday, 12:30:24
- Point of Odor: Pearl Jam and Grunge blew up before Singles.... - KingTalkyTiki Yesterday, 10:58:23
  - I didn’t realize that Ten, Nevermind, and Badmotorfinger came out about a year before Singles. - Waka Yesterday, 12:05:54
  - They weren't laboring in anonymity or anything, there was definitely awareness of them. - doubledown Yesterday, 11:08:08
I'll be honest..I never got into the whole grunge scene. I was in Jr high in 91 - DanSaint Yesterday, 10:50:05
- I was all Grateful Dead all of the time then* - JeffFrank Today, 01:50:29
- After years of utter dreck by Poison, music that wasn’t soulless and artificial was a revelation - DT Yesterday, 18:50:55
- It’s heinous * - Jackie Yesterday, 12:00:02
  - You’re heinous. - Waka Yesterday, 12:12:01
    - LMFCO, thx buddy - Jackie Yesterday, 18:10:27
      - *fist bump* - Waka Today, 00:22:00
