The Chart Show: The Cure's "A Fragile Thing" returns to the top spot
December 19, 2024
Back on November 21, The Cure hit No. 1 on the Chart Show with “A Fragile Thing” from their acclaimed new album, Songs of a Lost World. Since that time, The Cure have bobbed a bit near the top of the table, but this week “A Fraglie Thing” returns to the Chart Show summit.
Also this week, we see new songs debut from English artist Lola Young (“Messy”) and from Minnesota singer-songwriter Anna Graves (“Dizzy”). Meanwhile, songs by Father John Misty, Billy Strings, Gigi Perez, Hozier, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, and Lucius all hover near induction into the Chart Show Hall of Fame after nine weeks in the chart.
