SINGLES SOUNDTRACK SMASHING PUMPKINS MOVIE
Singles helped crystallize the idea of the “Seattle scene” in the mainstream public’s mind, and it was also one of the first big-selling ’90s movie soundtracks (it went platinum and reached the Top Ten) to feature largely new work from contemporary artists. Nirvana’s Nevermind had symbolically knocked Michael Jackson off the top of the album charts at the beginning of the year, and the underground buzz about Seattle bands like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam was beginning to find its way past circles of indie aficionados and open-minded hard rock fans and into the mainstream. The romantic comedy Singles, in part a homage to director Cameron Crowe’s hometown of Seattle, was released at exactly the right time (summer 1992). The album has been certified two times platinum by the RIAA in the United States. It also features contributions from Minneapolis’s Paul Westerberg (his first solo material after the breakup of The Replacements), Chicago’s The Smashing Pumpkins, and past Seattle rockers Jimi Hendrix and The Lovemongers (Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart). Singles is the original soundtrack album to the film Singles, primarily focused on the ascendant grunge scene of the early 1990s.
