Nirvana's Nevermind is enjoying yet another big week on the charts in the United Kingdom. The collection, widely regarded as one of the most important in rock history, reaches major milestones on two of the three tallies on which it appears. The project pushes the long-defunct band to numbers it has never hit before — and may never hit again.
Nevermind continues to not just survive, but thrive, thanks almost entirely to ongoing purchases by fans around the world, particularly in the U.K. As it earns yet another stay on a sales-focused ranking, the title once again asserts itself as the bestselling album by Nirvana.
As of this frame, Nevermind has now spent 350 weeks on the Official Albums Sales chart. That U.K.-based list tracks all forms of purchases — digital and physical — of both albums and EPs. At the moment, Nevermind sits at No. 61, down nine spots from the previous period. Nirvana has never seen a project reach such an impressive milestone before. In fact, no other effort by the group has come even close.
Nevermind outpaces Nirvana's second-longest-charting title on the Official Albums Sales chart, Unplugged in New York, more than 10 times over. That set has only managed 31 appearances on the tally as one of the country's bestselling releases.
Nevermind has sold so well for so long that it has outpaced all of the band's other charting releases combined – by a factor of seven. The group's self-titled compilation, Live and Loud, Bleach, and In Utero have never cracked double-digit frames on this ranking.
Despite having appeared on the Official Albums Sales chart for years, Nevermind has never reached No. 1. In fact, it has never even broken into the top 10. The title is tied with Nirvana, the group's hits-packed compilation, as its highest-charting effort, as both peaked at No. 14.
This week, Nevermind is also present on both the Official Physical Albums chart and the Official Rock & Metal Albums list. It recently passed a decade of appearances among the top-selling titles in the physical format. In this frame, it reaches its 1,450 stays on the rock-only roster.

James Blunt celebrates the 20th anniversary of his biggest hit that he calls ‘a bit creepy'
James Blunt's song 'You're Beautiful' is beloved, even though it's not about what some people imagine. The British singer recently shared a video and post on social media in which reflected on his hit earworm. '20 years ago today, I released a song that bought me this house,' Blunt said. 'Whoever thought a song about being high as a kite on drugs, stalking someone else's girlfriend would resonate quite so much? Thank you. You guys are beautiful.' The song off his 2004 debut album, 'Back to Bedlam,' became a worldwide hit in 2005. In 2020, the former British army captain wrote an essay for the Guardian about 'You're Beautiful' and talked about the inspiration for the tune. 'One day I was on the underground in London and saw an ex-girlfriend with her new boyfriend,' he wrote. 'Our eyes met, but we just walked past each other, and I went home and wrote the words to 'You're Beautiful' in two minutes.' He also addressed the disconnect between how the song came to be and how fans viewed it. 'It's always been portrayed as romantic, but it's actually a bit creepy,' he wrote. 'It's about a guy (me) who's high and stalking someone else's girlfriend on the subway. But everyone has those moments where you wonder: 'What if I'd said something?'' How beautiful is that?

Best CS2 Skins From Fever Case
Fever Case is one of the most striking additions to the CS2 arsenal for 2025. This collection quickly attracted the attention of players with its bold and visually expressive skins, reflecting modern trends in the design of in-game cosmetics. They are already being actively discussed in the community and are increasingly appearing in the inventories of streamers and collectors. It is possible that in the upcoming tournaments, we will be able to see these skins in the hands of professional players from NRG, Heroic, or marsborne cs2 teams. In this article by Volodymyr Huda, you can check out the best Fever Case skins that can be a worthy addition to your inventory. Fever Case Knives With Fever Case, 24 knives appeared in the game, including skins for four types of knives – Survival, Skeleton, Paracord, and Nomad. For each of them, six options are available for every taste, from a realistic texture of Damascus steel or a layer of rust, to Doppler and Marble Fade, the cost of which can be quite high if you get a lucky pattern index. However, the knives from Fever Case attracted the attention of the community not only because, for the first time in a long time, the list of types of knives with rare colors was replenished. In the first days after the release of the update, players noticed an unusually high frequency of knives with the Doppler skin dropping, and in rare options such as 'ruby' or 'sapphire'. As it turned out later, the error was due to a bug in the algorithm that determines the drop of knives. However, there is still a chance to get a knife like other cool skins. Best Weapon Skins From Fever Case The Fever case includes 17 weapon skins, each with its own rarity and unique design. It features skins for such popular weapons as the AWP, Glock-18, AK-47, Desert Eagle, etc. Here are the most expressive skins in the case: FAMAS | Bad Trip One of the two Covert skins that were included in the Fever Case is FAMAS | Bad Trip. In full accordance with the name, this skin is covered with images of toothy monsters trying to devour each other, painted in acid-bright psychedelic colors. AWP | Printstream The second Covert skin from the case is the complete opposite of the previous one in style. The Printstream series is known for its minimalist black and white design, and now it has been replenished with the most anticipated item – a skin for a sniper rifle. The white-painted case with a black butt, geometric patterns and technical inscriptions – this skin can take a worthy place in any collection. At the time of writing, this is the most expensive skin; its cost for the Factory New version with the СtatTrak counter exceeds $700. At the time of writing, this is the most expensive skin, with a Factory New version with a СtatTrak counter costing over $700. This skin has been spotted in the inventories of pro players Ladislav 'GuardiaN' Kovács and Ricardo 'boltz' Prass. UMP-45 | K.O. Factory There are three Classified skins in Fever Case, and each of them is unusual in its own way. UMP-45 | K.O. Factory is painted in bright colors that are reminiscent of cartoons or comics. In addition, the drawing depicts the internal mechanisms of the weapon, but, unlike, for example, Glock-18 | Clear Polymer with its transparent magazine or P250 | X-Ray, here they look completely toy-like: the drawn bullets are pushed into the barrel by a miniature boxing glove. AK-47 | Searing Rage And here are the creators of AK-47 | Searing Rage chose a much darker style for their creation. The butt is covered with chaotic inscriptions, among which the anarchy symbol clearly stands out, and the body and the front part of the barrel are engulfed in flames. Glock-18 | Shinobu Finally, the Glock-18 | Shinobu has joined the collection of skins with cute girls, like the Neo-Noir series and other designs in the same style. The drawing in soft purple and beige looks very sophisticated and will definitely appeal to anime fans. Zeus x27 | Tosai The most unusual of the five Restricted skins in Fever Case is definitely Zeus x27 | Tosai. Firstly, this is a skin for a taser, which is generally not very common. Secondly, its barrel is decorated with an image of an orange and white Japanese carp, which fits beautifully into the outlines of the short barrel. Even if the opportunity to use a taser doesn't come up very often, many will still find this skin worth purchasing. Desert Eagle | Serpent Strike Another Asian-style skin is Desert Eagle | Serpent Strike. It is noteworthy that the image of the snake here is done in black and red tones, which gives the skin a special chic. If the relief images of snakes or dragons on other skins in a similar spirit not seem bright enough to you, this is a great alternative. Nova | Rising Sun Nova | Rising Sun continues the Eastern theme. This skin is named after the Land of the Rising Sun. The weapon body is decorated with an image of Mount Fuji in a style similar to an ornament or stained glass, and flowering sakura branches stretch along the barrel. Galil AR | Control But Galil AR | Control may appeal to fans of a more strict geometric style. The weapon body is decorated with several red and orange stripes, while most of the elements are painted white or black. At the same time, the skin looks very bright. P90 | Wave Breaker The P90 | Wave Breaker is painted in a similar style, with a blue-green gradient covering the surface with some gray stripes and lettering. If you're looking for a weapon that will fit well into a nautical-themed inventory, this blue-green gun will do just fine. The Mil-Spec Grade skins, as usual, are not as flashy, but there are still some interesting features to look at. Many will probably like the blue-green geometric pattern on the USP-S | PC-GRN grip or the P2000 | Sure Grip with its raised ornament covering the barrel. Final Thoughts Fever Case skins confidently take their place among the most stylish and memorable visual solutions of 2025. Their design reflects the spirit of the new era of CS2: bright, bold, and dynamic. Due to the high attention from the community, especially from the US and Canada, and the potential to become part of the professional scene, these skins have every chance to shine in major arenas.
