The legendary post-punk act’s latest LP hit the No1 spot on the UK Albums Chart upon release and looks set to remain there after its first week of availability.
The Cure’s Songs Of A Lost World album has been outselling the rest of the UK top 10 combined... proving musical taste isn't dead.
The band’s new album – which also marked The Cure’s first release of original material in 16 years – is also on its way being their first record to land the Number One spot on the charts since their 1992 LP Wish.
