Not since 1992 had The Cure been top of the UK charts. That changed with album Songs Of A Lost World. It’s uplifting, their lead singer says
The Cure have returned to the top of the UK charts after 32 years as their long-awaited album Songs Of A Lost World went to number one.
The British band released the record, their first studio album in 16 years, on November 1. It went on to outsell the rest of the top five in the UK albums chart combined, the Official Charts Company said.
“It is enormously uplifting, genuinely heartwarming to experience such a wonderful reaction to the release of the new Cure album,” lead singer Robert Smith said.
He went on to thank “everyone who has bought it, listened to it, loved it, believed in us over the years”.
The Cure last topped the UK album charts in 1992 with Wish. Their last studio album was 4:13 Dream, released in 2008.
