The Cure score first UK No 1 album in 32 years with Songs of a Lost World
Robert Smith says getting first chart-topper since 1992’s Wish is ‘enormously uplifting’ and ‘genuinely heartwarming’
The band’s frontman Robert Smith said: “It is enormously uplifting, genuinely heartwarming to experience such a wonderful reaction to the release of the new Cure album. A companion record to 4:13 Dream was announced and later scrapped, and while Smith committed to returning to the studio in 2018, no music was heard for six years, until the September release of the Songs of a Lost World single Alone. Songs of a Lost World outsold the rest of the top five combined, and was the biggest seller on vinyl and in independent record shops this week.
