Singles (soundtrack)

The soundtrack is credited with contributing to the surge in popularity of Seattle grunge in the early 1990s. According to Steve Huey of AllMusic, "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 ... it's a milestone in the breakthrough of alternative rock into mainstream popular culture, neatly and effectively packaging the Seattle phenomenon for the wider national consciousness." ==Deluxe Edition==

On May 19, 2017, a remastered Deluxe Edition of the album was released to commemorate the original album's 25th anniversary. In addition to the original 13-song soundtrack on either one CD or two LPs, this release included new liner notes and track-by-track descriptions by Cameron Crowe and a bonus CD consisting of 18 additional tracks. The bonus material included a track each from Truly and Blood Circus, live tracks by Alice in Chains and Soundgarden that were recorded during their performances in the film, and demos and instrumentals by Mudhoney, Paul Westerberg, Chris Cornell, and members of Pearl Jam. Of these tracks, seven were previously unreleased, and five had never been released on CD. Also included is "Touch Me I'm Dick" by Matt Dillon’s fictional band in the film, Citizen Dick, which was recorded by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, and Jeff Ament. ==Track listing==

• In addition to later recording "Spoon Man" with Soundgarden (as "Spoonman") and "Flutter Girl" on his debut solo album, Chris Cornell reused the lyrics of the first two verses and bridge of "Ferry Boat #3" in the song "The Curse" on Audioslave's 2005 album Out of Exile. ==Certifications==
