An article? No, I just have the facts of what happened, and the fact that I was around at the time so I remember it. They had albums and singles that charted going back to the mid eighties. Of course those were modest successes, but still they charted. Then in 1987 they released
Document, a top ten album which spawned a single, "The One I Love", that ended up hitting #2 the following year. Then, in 1988, they switched to a major label and released
Green, which spawned two number #1 singles ("Orange Crush" and "Stand") while the album itself reached #12. Following that, they released
Out of Time in early 1991, which went to #1 and had two of their biggest singles—"Losing My Religion" and "Shiny Happy People".
It wasn't until
late 1991 that Nirvana hit it big.
