Singles Vol. 1 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is a 2 x Vinilo, LP, Compilation, Reissue, Stereo album, released on December 9, 2022 via Mondo.
Singles is the soundtrack album of the film Singles, released on June 30, 1992, almost three months before the film. It is primarily focused on the ascendant Seattle Grunge scene of the early 1990s, but also features contributions from past Seattle artists Jimi Hendrix and The Lovemongers (Heart‘s Ann and Nancy Wilson, the latter of whom was the wife of the film’s director Cameron Crowe at the time), Chicago’s The Smashing Pumpkins, and the first solo material from Minneapolis’ Paul Westerberg after the breakup of The Replacements.
The deluxe edition of the album Singles: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Deluxe Edition was released on May 19, 2017. The album contains a bonus disc with 18 additional tracks. The deluxe edition was released a day after Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell‘s death by coincidence.
The album has been certified two times platinum by the RIAA, indicating sales of at least two million copies in the United States. In April 2019, it was ranked No. 19 on Rolling Stone‘s 50 Greatest Grunge Albums list.
