Tracing Smashing Pumpkins and their music career
Smashing Pumpkins was formed by Billy Corgan after the dissolution of his previous band, The Marked, and released their debut studio album, Gish, in 1991. The album was a minor success, charting at number 6 on the Billboard Heatseekers album chart.
Smashing Pumpkins broke into the mainstream music scene with their second album, Siamese Dream, which was released on July 27, 1993. The album peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200 album chart and sold over 4 million copies in the US.
It was their third album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, which gained Smashing Pumpkins critical acclaim. The album was not only a major commercial success but also gained the band a Best Hard Rock Performance award for the single Bullet with Butterfly Wings at the 1997 Grammy Awards.
