Wild Mood Swings is the tenth studio album by the English rock band the Cure, released on 6 May 1996 by Fiction Records. The album charted at number nine on the UK Albums Chart, staying on the chart for six weeks, and number 12 on the US Billboard 200. However, the album was the lowest-selling Cure album in 12 years, and it marked the beginning of a downward trend in the Cure's future album sales.
