The Arctic Monkeys' album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not became the fastest-selling debut in UK chart history when it was released in January.

It sold more than 360,000 copies during its first week of release.

The band have toured extensively to promote the album, and plan to play another 44 concerts over the summer.

They were eventually signed by independent record label Domino Records.
