<p>Despite low commercial expectations by the band and its record label, <i>Nevermind</i> became a surprise success in late 1991, largely due to the popularity of its first single, "<a href="/wiki/Smells_Like_Teen_Spirit" title="Smells Like Teen Spirit">Smells Like Teen Spirit</a>". By January 1992, it had replaced <a href="/wiki/Michael_Jackson" title="Michael Jackson">Michael Jackson</a>'s album <i><a href="/wiki/Dangerous_(Michael_Jackson_album)" title="Dangerous (Michael Jackson album)">Dangerous</a></i> at number one on the <a href="/wiki/Billboard_200" title="Billboard 200"><i>Billboard</i> 200</a> chart.
