The album was strikingly different to anything Nirvana had released. The album continued on to be certified platinum five times over in the US by 1997, and won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album the same year but accolades are not what makes it so memorable to fans. The combination of MTV and Nirvana was one that raised eyebrows to begin with but the pairing went on to pleasantly surprise onlookers. It was the first album released after the death of their guitarist and front man, Kurt Cobain, and struck a chord with fans of the American rock band. When the band eventually released it a year later on November 4th, 1994 it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The album was originally recorded at Sony Music Studios on November 18th, 1993 and aired as part of the television series MTV Unplugged.
