After Nevermind was released and Kurt was still alive Nirvana was the biggest band in the world. They did get bigger for a minute after his death, but they were huge long before he killed himself.
What makes them a top 10 band is the influence they cast. For years after they came out ( and still today ) bands try to sound like them. Nirvana single handedly ended the careers of poison, motley crue, warrent, ratt, and and number of hair metal bands.
