The Cure’s ‘Songs of a Lost World’ Debuts at No. 1 on Multiple Billboard Charts
The Cure scores its first No. 1 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart with their first album of new material in over 15 years, "Songs of a Lost World."
The Cure make a striking return to Billboard ’s album charts (dated Nov. 16) with the arrival of Songs of a Lost World. The new album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across five vinyl variants (which sold a combined 23,000 copies; the band’s best week on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991), a standard CD, a CD/blu-ray audio package, two cassettes, a standard digital download and a deluxe digital download with five bonus live tracks (exclusive to the band’s webstore). The set’s “A Fragile Thing” rises 25-22 on Alternative Airplay(a new peak and its highest charting song since 2004) and 12-10 on Adult Alternative Airplay(The Cure’s first top 10, and third charting hit, since the list began in 1996).
