Here Comes Success is the fifth and final studio album by American alternative rock band Band of Susans, released on February 28, 1995, by Blast First and Restless Records.^[1]

Andrew Earles included the album in his book Gimme Indie Rock: 500 Essential Underground Rock Albums 1981–1996 alongside The Word and the Flesh.^[2]

A review posted in the Tucson Weekly noted that the "elements that make Band of Susans truly great also make their relative obscurity baffling ...[and] An unequivocally fantastic album from an equivocal Band of “Susans,” Here Comes Success is ripe for rediscovery"^[3]
