"Black Hole Sun" is a song by the American rock band Soundgarden. Written by frontman Chris Cornell, "Black Hole Sun" was released in 1994 as the third single from the band's fourth studio album Superunknown (1994). It is arguably the band's most recognizable and most popular song, and remains a well known song from the 1990s. The song topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, where it spent a total of seven weeks at number one and despite failing to reach number one and peaking at number two on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, "Black Hole Sun" still finished as the top song on the chart making it the number one Modern Rock Tracks song for the year 1994 being more successful than any other number one Modern Rock Track in 1994. It failed to hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart due to the rules of a physical/commercial release of the single until December 1998 which "Black Hole Sun" was not issued for, but it still peaked at number 24 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40 chart. The song was included on Soundgarden's 1997 greatest hits album A-Sides and appeared again on the 2010 compilation album Telephantasm.
