Songs by Regina Spektor
Songs is an album by Regina Spektor, released in 2002. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Samson”, on 7 lists with a best position of #22.
Songs, Regina Spektor's second album, is about as homemade as records get: she cut the whole thing on Christmas Day 2001, every song in a single take, and put it out herself in 2002, selling copies at her early live shows. That's anti-folk at its most bare-bones, with nothing and nobody around to smooth off the quirks.
For years it was the only Spektor album you couldn't stream, though a lot of the songs resurfaced on the 2006 compilation Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers and Other Short Stories. It finally reached streaming services on November 29, 2024. "Samson" is the one the countdowns kept finding.
