Facts:
Songs of a Lost World (2024) was the band's first album since Wish to reach UK No. 1 and at one point outsold the entire UK top 10 of that week combined — one of the fastest-selling albums of 2024.
Formed in 1976 by Robert Smith and Lol Tolhurst, growing out of the bands Malice and Easy Cure; Smith is the only remaining original member.
Between 1982 and 1996, seven studio albums all reached the UK top 10.
Debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979) reached UK No. 44; Seventeen Seconds (1980) and Faith (1981) reached Nos. 20 and 14.
Their second album era had a strong influence on the emerging gothic rock genre [unverified — Wikipedia only]. LTZ-played tracks include "Just Like Heaven", "Cut Here" and "Lovesong".
