'Superunknown' is the fourth studio album by American grunge band Soundgarden, released on 8th March, 1994, through A&M Records. Produced by Michael Beinhorn and the band themselves, Soundgarden began work on the album after touring in support of their previous album, 'Badmotorfinger' (1991). 'Superunknown' retained the heaviness of the band's earlier releases while displaying a more diverse range of influences.
'Superunknown' was a critical and commercial success and became the band's breakthrough album. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 310,000 copies in its opening week. The album also topped the Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand charts. Five singles were released from the album: 'The Day I Tried to Live', 'My Wave', 'Fell on Black Days', 'Spoonman' and 'Black Hole Sun', the latter two of which won Grammy Awards and helped Soundgarden reach mainstream popularity. At the 37th Grammy Awards, the album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. It has been certified 6x Platinum by the RIAA in the US. 'Superunknown' has been listed by several publications as one of the best albums of the 1990s and a quintessential grunge album. In April 2019, it was ranked No. 9 on Rolling Stone's "50 Greatest Grunge Albums" list.
