Robert Smith, frontman of The Cure, on stage with the band.
“Songs of a lost world” worked so well that it even crossed the Atlantic.
Winning return
It’s not every day that a cult British rock band makes a winning comeback after more than 15 years without releasing an album. But between Oasis and The Cure, fans of English rock will be served! The first ones reform and go on tour all over the world. The latter have just released a new album, “Songs of a lost world”at the beginning of November. And this album is selling like hotcakes: In Francein England obviously, but also in the United Stateswhile it is very difficult for non-American artists to perform there for real. But not for The Cure, who are having a real hit with their latest album.
The Cure hits the Billboard charts
Because it is indeed a hit that the group achieves with its new album released on November 1st. A project that achieved the feat of climb to the top of the charts, more precisely the “Billboard Vinyl Albums”of which they occupy first place, as well as the “Billboard top album sales”with, again, a first place at stake. Obviously, the rankings “Top Rock” et “Top Alternative Albums” are also dominated by The Cure.
A real success for the group, which does not stop there: the very general and very prestigious “Billboard 200” also saw the group make a notable entry in 4th placethe second best performance in the history of The Cure after “Wish” in 1992. We can therefore say that they fascinated the public just as much as 30 years ago, a rare performance, even for rockers, who tend to have long careers.
Robert Smith obviously welcomed all of this, saying that it was extremely encouraging to see so much success and positive feedback on their 14th album. We hope that this will change his mind about his announcement that the group will end in 2029!
