Catrise J:Hey everyone, it’s your girl, Catrise J and we are here with Cordae.
Cordae:What’s up?
We’re here to talk about your new album, The Crossroads.
Yep.
Very, very excited for you. It’s been, what, two years?
Two and some change.
So why is it time for you to drop this album? Why do you feel ready?
Because I think it’s ready. I think I’m better than I’ve ever been as an artist. Like, I feel like I needed that time to just live life, assess life. This album in particular, I needed to get better. I wanted to get better, like, as a songwriter, as a rapper, I wanted my verses to be better. I wanted my storytelling to be better. I wanted my beat selection and taste in beat selection to get better and that requires, like, work and time, you know, so I feel like this is my best foot forward thus far.
So why the title The Crossroads?
Because I felt like I was at a crossroads in my life, and just so many avenues at the time, right? I felt like it was like life or death. Felt like, literally, my next decision. If I go right, everything is gonna be perfect and yay, life is great, and if I go left, all life is horrible. I’ve kinda realized that one decision doesn’t hold that much weight. It’s a culmination of decisions.

Equivalent album units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. Nov. 16, 2024-dated charts will be posted in full on Billboard’s website on Tuesday, Nov. 12.
Songs of a Lost World bows with 57,000 equivalent album units earned (the act’s best week by units) in the United States in the week ending Nov. 7, according to Luminate. Of that sum, album sales comprise 53,000 (The Cure’s biggest sales week since 2004, when its self-titled album launched with 91,000), SEA units comprise 4,000 (equaling 5.02 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
The new album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across five vinyl variants (which sold a combined 23,000 copies; the band’s best week on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991), a standard CD, a CD/blu-ray audio package, two cassettes, a standard digital download and a deluxe digital download with five bonus live tracks (exclusive to the band’s webstore).
The set’s “A Fragile Thing” rises 25-22 on Alternative Airplay (a new peak and its highest charting song since 2004) and 12-10 on Adult Alternative Airplay (The Cure’s first top 10, and third charting hit, since the list began in 1996).
