Cure on Best of 2008 lists

"The Portuguese music magazine called "Blitz" (blitz.aeiou.pt) asked their readers to choose the best 20 concerts in Portugal in 2008. The Cure were listed #9 for their concert in the Pavilhão Atlântico, Lisbon (March, 8th 2008)!! Not bad!!
From the same magazine, "Blitz", 4:13 Dream was chosen by the readers as #30 in the Best International 2008 Album category." (I've posted the full lists in the comments section)
