Soundgarden was the first grunge band to sign to amajor label (A&M Records, in 1988), though the band did not achieve commercial success until they popularized the genre in theearly 1990s with Seattle contemporaries Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam.Soundgarden achieved its biggest success with the 1994 album Superunknown, which debuted at number one on the Billboardcharts and yielded the Grammy Award-winning singles "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman". In 1997, the band broke up due tointernal strife over its creative direction. After several years working on projects and other bands, Soundgarden reunited in 2010and their sixth studio album, King Animal, was released two years later. « hide
