May 5th, 1996: Cobain completes his European Mist tour, returning to Los Angeles.
June 10th, 1996: Mist by Kurt Cobain is released nationwide. Immediately, the album is an enormous critical and commercial success, with many critics noting that: "Not only has Cobain declared his independence from the band that made him an idol to the under 25 crowd, he's truly come into his own as not only a composer, but a writer as well. For once, I can understand something he's saying!" The album spawns four singles, including the title track "Mist", "Plentiful Sorrow", "Is This Who I Knew?" and "Captain Duren". The album immediately sells out, becoming the breakaway hit of the summer of 1996.
December 7th, 1996: Mist becomes certified platinum by the RIAA.
June 10th, 2002: Mist becomes certified diamond by the RIAA.
