On what date was Nirvana’s album Nevermind released in the United States?

Nirvana’s album Nevermind was released in the United States on September 24, 1991.

The album was issued by DGC Records and became Nirvana’s major breakthrough. It initially entered the charts modestly, but radio play and the popularity of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” rapidly expanded its audience.

Nevermind eventually displaced Michael Jackson’s Dangerous at number one on the Billboard 200 in January 1992. Its success helped move alternative rock and Seattle’s grunge scene into the mainstream.

The album is sometimes associated only with 1992 because that was when its commercial impact became enormous. However, its original US release date was in September 1991. The record was produced by Butch Vig, with Andy Wallace mixing it, and its cover features a baby swimming toward a dollar bill.
