Novoselic recently hinted that a 30th anniversary reissue of the album was in the works, but he did not offer more details.

Nevermind has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. The album represents Nirvana's mainstream breakthrough and a seismic shift in the landscape of pop music in the '90s. The 30th anniversary of Nevermind is September 24.
