"Bleach" did not chart upon initial release, but was well received by critics. When reissued internationally by Geffen Records in 1992 following the success of Nirvana's second album, "Nevermind", "Bleach" peaked at number 89 on the "Billboard" 200, peaked at number 33 on the UK Albums Chart and number 34 on the Australian albums chart. In 2009, Sub Pop released a 20th anniversary edition of "Bleach" featuring a live recording of a 1990 Nirvana performance in Portland, Oregon as bonus material.
