The Raven is the fourth studio album by English new wave band The Stranglers. It was released on 21 September 1979, through record label United Artists. The Raven was released on 21 September 1979. It reached No. 4 in the UK albums chart, remaining in the chart for eight weeks. However, it is believed it should have made No. 1 but for an error in the chart. The Police reached No. 1 despite their album not yet being released, leading to controversy that the Police album had been mis-credited with sales of The Raven.
