I find the Soundgarden exclusion/mention odd because I'd argue that Stone Temple Pilots were more successful in the same time period. Purple was #7 in 1994 vs Superunknown #13, despite being released 3 months later. Also funny, #2 in 1994 was Ace of Bass (behind #1 Lion King soundtrack).

Take a trip back to 1994, just a wild time to be a music buyer. Young people driving most music but enough old people buying Kenny G's Christmas album and Yanni Live at the Acropolis 😂
