  8. It sucks that the singles performed so poorly in the UK. No wonder they only did one show here on the 4 tour.

  9. Well done, The Cure!

    It's kinda crazy The Cure only did one show. I mean, they fracking live there! I'd feel ripped off if I were an Englishman.

  15. I just wrote emails to the local stations with a link to billboard. And ive been requesting SWID on a daily basis to no avail.

  16. I got my local station to play SWID. But then again, I had to pay them $20 to do it. It was for one their frequent pledge drives. But they're a college run station, so you gotta help them out.

    Plus, I got a keychain out of the deal for my pledge. Now I'll be pursued by women and envied by men.

  17. Holy good night Mary Ellen Ryan and all the saints in Ireland...

    I just realized something. Caterpillargirl, are you the same Caterpillargirl from Myspace and The Cure's official site?

    Damn. I should have picked up on that earlier. You remember me? I used to be kinda bitchy to you on the official site and then you found me on Myspace and I apologized and we became best buds? :)

    How are you, sweetie? :)

  18. My stupid earphones broke this afternoon, so I couldn't hear songs properly on my ipod. Anyway, either the speakers were only letting part of the sound come in or only one speaker was working, so I couldn't hear the main vocals, but I could hear faded delayed vocals for both "The Only One" and "NY Trip". "Maybe Someday" from a long ago recording session didn't have this. It was weird both "The Only One" and "NY Trip" had delayed faded vocals -- at least by a second or 2.

    Does anyone know why Robert would put this on the songs? Does it create a cool echo effect?

  21. Holy shit! That's great news! Yay for The Cure! :D

  22. The Cure got a #1 single in the US? Well, I guess that means that they're going to quit playing now and break up, if Robert still stands by an age old threat.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Just to make this clear, The Cure are NOT #1 on the official Hot 100 chart. It's only the Hot Singles Sales chart. Still impressive though.

  25. Cureboy675 - is that you? :) I'd address you as your first name, but some people are kind of funny about that.

    What's going on?

    Hey, I figure I've been lurking around Cure sites for so many years there are probably a few people I've met and don't recognize because of different screen names.

  26. Wow Congrats boys!!!

    I looked a the that link and they beat out Madonna and she is in week one too! HAHA! Through the test of time CURE Fans are more dedicated than the material girls fans! :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yeah, but buying actual cd singles these days is just for those who want to collect. KWIM? It's for the fans. Honestly, there are alot of Cure fans that want hard copies of the music and that is amazing that they are #1 with Sleep in the US.

    However, chain stores don't really stock singles anymore and The Cure doesnt't even have one song in the top 100 on the US or UK iTunes chart. :( :( :(

    Does the Billboard Chart account for downloaded singles as well? Or just hard copies?

  28. Number One in the US! Unbelievable! :)

  29. Wow well done to the Cure!!! It's amazing that SWID is the #1 for single sales in the US and The Only One & Freakshow are still doing good too! Very cool! :)

    Too bad I hardly hear it on the radio. I've only heard it a few times the first few days after it was released but not so much now. I still request it but I don't think they will play it much again. So Sad!
