AceShowbiz 2006's 11th Week Artist is Arctic Monkeys

LONDON, UK (AceShowbiz) - Take a look at the success of their first album ever, 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I Am Not', which has been sold for more than 360,000 copies in its first day of release, it is worth for AceShowbiz.com, an entertainment online website, to choose the indie rock band Arctic Monkeys as its Artist of the Week for the 11th week of 2006 (Please refer to https://www.aceshowbiz.com/music/artist/2006_11.html)

Completed the album in September 2005, the high demand and the high pre-ordered number on the set reluctantly pushed the British music act to release the set on January 23, 2006, a week earlier than the scheduled date. A worth deed, somewhat, since such number of selling obviously makes the album the fastest selling debut album in chart history.

Stole the limelight at the 2006 ShockWaves NME Awards, Arctic Monkeys gloriously nabbed 3 winnings out of 4 nominations, mainly for Best New Band, Best British Band and Best Track awards for 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor'. Had had their World Tour sold out in US alone, the British band was attached to later on perform in 'Saturday Night Life' on March 11, 2006 and proceed their music performances until July 8, 2006 in Kildare, Ireland. Enjoying the meteoric rise, Arctic Monkeys would probably be the next big thing in world's music industry.
