The Cure Discography
The English rock band the Cure has released fourteen studio albums, six live albums, two remix albums, seven compilation albums, eight box sets, twelve extended plays, and forty-seven singles on Fiction Records and Geffen Records. They have also released twelve video albums and forty-four music videos.
Formed in 1976, the Cure grew out of a band known as Malice. Malice formed in January 1976 and underwent several line-up changes and a name change to Easy Cure before The Cure was founded in May 1978. The Cure's original line-up consisted of guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith, drummer Laurence "Lol" Tolhurst and bassist Michael Dempsey. The band has continued through various line-ups; Smith is the group's only remaining original member. The line-up as of 2024 consisted of Smith, bassist Simon Gallup, keyboard player Roger O'Donnell, multi-instrumentalist Perry Bamonte, guitarist Reeves Gabrels and drummer Jason Cooper.
The Cure's debut album, Three Imaginary Boys (1979), reached number 44 on the UK Albums Chart. The next two albums, Seventeen Seconds (1980) and Faith (1981), were top 20 hits in the UK, reaching number 20 and number 14 respectively. Between 1982 and 1996, the Cure released seven studio albums, all of which reached the Top 10 in the UK. The most successful of these was Wish (1992) which reached number one in the UK and number two on the US Billboard 200. They released the next album Wild Mood Swings in 1996. The following three studio albums – Bloodflowers (2000), The Cure (2004) and 4:13 Dream (2008) – had mixed success, reaching numbers 14, 8 and 33 in the UK respectively. The group released their fourteenth album, Songs of a Lost World, on 1 November 2024. It marks the group's first new album in sixteen years.
