LONDON (Reuters) - The Arctic Monkeys, who first built a loyal following on the Internet, are now set to have the fastest-selling debut album since chart records began in Britain.

The Sheffield rockers have already had two number one singles and critics are showering the quartet with accolades. They were nominated on Tuesday for four top prizes at next month's NME awards.

[-88057]
Their first album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" sold more than 100,000 copies on day one, and is currently outselling the rest of the top 20 albums combined.

"The Arctic Monkeys have connected with the mainstream in one leap," said Gennaro Castaldo at music and books retailer HMV Plc. "This is an outstanding figure as January is a quiet time of the year for sales."

He said sales could top 350,000 by the end of the week.

The British record for the fastest-selling debut album is currently held by talent-show group Hearsay's debut "Popstars" which sold 306,631 in its first week in March 2001.

Damian Peachey of Web site www.amazon.co.uk declined to give exact sales figures but said: "We sold more Arctic Monkeys albums on day one than we did for Franz Ferdinand in the whole of their first week.

"The Arctic Monkeys were outselling Richard Ashcroft, who is next on our charts, by four to one," he told Reuters. "This has been very much word of mouth."

The group played their first gigs in 2003, handing out their demos to fans who posted them on a Web site.

They signed with the independent label Domino, whose last major big breakthrough act was Franz Ferdinand.

Now the Arctic Monkeys are battling with fellow nominees Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs, Oasis and Franz Ferdinand to be named Best British Band at the NME Awards on February 23.

They have also been nominated in the categories of Best New Band, Best Live Band and Best Live Track for "I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor."

NME assistant editor Malik Meer said: "Contrary to all the rumours and myths and panics about the record industry going into meltdown because of music online, it has had the opposite effect.

"The fact that they have had two number one singles means they are not just for a core of obsessive fans. This is good old honest rock 'n'roll, which we have been lacking lately," he told Reuters.

Read the threads, it will blow your mind on how into music they can get.

It’s intimidating because you have to know what the hell you are talking about. Dalen even posted over there but couldn’t handle it or something. Yes, there are about 12 Obner’s who post there and some who use to post here but are exclusive to ILM these days.

This is some of the most pretentious tripe I've ever read. I hate to belabor a point made several times before, but why do you post here when the average poster over at ILM apparently has a Feynmanesque musical knowledge. Is it the joy of slumming with the cretins?

When I made that comment it wasn't about Obner at all. We were talking about the two mega indie music boards and that was a swipe at the other one.

I love Obner as I'm coming up on my four year here in the next few months. If I didn't like it I wouldn't post any longer. I will admit that it drives me crazy at times and...

Bee, please don't wind up in a cult or something. You seem like such a well-meaning fellah, but, okay already with the hyperventilation.

To quote the great sage N. Surf, "To find somebody to love, you've gotta be somebody to love; you've gotta call your own bluff."

Call already.

BTW, can’t find your post otherwise I will tell you why they locked it. I had a Coachella thread locked last week but Ned Raggett was incredibly nice about it, and I understand, it makes for a much better board overall.


dude, you're fucking hilarious.

it's a message board for people that think they know what the fuck they're talking about, and where people like BeeOK think that those people are "music gods".

it's pretty funny to read how pathetic some of those people are sometimes.


As opposed to this board where you get fart jokes.

I am not always a fan of the tedium that is ILM... but to say they "think" they know about music.. is perhaps singlehandedly the most idiotic thing Ive read today...

then again, perhaps people that write for Allmusic, Village Voice, and the other rags dont really know about music, not as much as Dalen.. but then again who can...

i read it, sometimes post.

some people are very sad d-bags and some people could match your bet and take all your money. some great music writers, bloggers and editors post on that board and are actually able to articulate why you should go check out a particular band, rather than the occasional, "holy crap they're so metal you should check them out here's an mp3, latas!!1"

but i'm with radcliffe, classic or dud is a silly concept, although i love sticking up for my '90s "alternative" bands.

When you have to pontificate about everything and it all has to MEAN something, you don't know dick. Music is about feeling, and the majority of people here GET IT. And yeah music brings us all here, but sometimes fart jokes are good for keeping the interest up. And if we are now arguing about which INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD IS COOLER...wow. I think I'll have a sip of this strychnine martini.

I don't post there because I loathe the format, not because there's anything the matter with the content.

I just think Bee's hyperbole is repetitive and doesn't serve a purpose.

Well, when I see that type of hyperbole, you get the above post, but this is what I meant, pretty much.
