Or even Smells Like Teen Spirit from Nevermind, which was the very first album I listened to in its entirety.
It's funny how I realized recently that like all the popular Nirvana songs are the in first five tracks of Nevermind.
Heart-Shaped Box, About a Girl, Aneurysm, and some other ones go beyond that I guess. Even some other ones on Nevermind like Something in the Way are still hella popular, but it is a very well-known album by a very well-known band.
Heart-Shaped Box was one I definitely was thinking of for a non-Nevermind song, but if anything's going to be played on the radio it's those around five or six songs.
It's not like they had a chance to make that much material either, although some unreleased have been released on compilations, I think? In retrospect at least the rest of the band didn't continue as Nirvana without Kurt, they could've easily milked that recognition for years.

I think it’s amazing how grounded Dave stayed. It also really helped that you could sell records and make $ then.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Def Leppard's Hysteria was always the other way around for me -- almost every track on that thing was also released as a single and saw heavy radio airplay. Incidentally, it was also one of the handful of albums that I could listen to from start to finish without wanting to skip around back during my dad rock phase.
