''Wish'' is the ninth studio album by British alternative rock band The Cure, released on 21 April 1992, through Fiction Records in the UK and Elektra Records in the US.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Cure : Official Site: Discography :: Wish )〕 The record is the final studio album featuring Boris Williams and the first featuring Perry Bamonte, as well as being the last album featuring Porl Thompson for sixteen years. Whilst retaining the sound and mood of ''Disintegration'' (1989) on some tracks, ''Wish'' often found the band moving into more of a pop direction, and received positive reviews upon release, including a four star review in Rolling Stone that stated: "For its cult of millions, the Cure offers the only kind of optimism that makes sense." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/the-cure/albumguide )〕〔http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/wish-19920421〕 Wish was also the band's overall highest charting album, and most commercially successful in the band's career, given its debut at number one in the UK and number two in the United States, where it sold more than 1.2 million copies.〔〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/wish-mw0000275947/awards〕 ''Wish'' was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 1993. The album's first single was "High", released on 16 March 1992. The single peaked at number eight in the UK Singles Chart, forty-two in the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks.〔http://www.officialcharts.com/archive-chart/_/1/1992-03-28/〕〔http://www.billboard.com/artist/397801/cure/chart〕〔"(The Cure Album & Song Chart History )" ''Billboard'' Alternative Songs for The Cure.
