Superstition is an album by Siouxsie & the Banshees, released in 1991. The first single, "Kiss Them for Me," gave the band its first top-forty Billboard Hot 100 hit in the United States, peaking at number twenty-three. Breaking tradition, the band handed over production duties to Stephen Hague, known for working with Pet Shop Boys, Erasure and New Order, among many others. This album is much more pop-oriented, with glossy instrumentation and production work.
