| "We're Not The Best Band In Britain" says Cookie | ||
 Arctic Monkeys guitarist James "Cookie" Cook has refused to get above of himself by playing down the hype and explaining that their dream of being the best is not yet so true.He explained: "We know we're not the best band in the country, so why say we are? If we do fail, at least we can say, 'We told you so.' "That's not us being down on ourselves. That's just being honest." |

| Arctic Monkeys Hailed By Jarvis Cocker | ||
 Pulp frontman and fellow Sheffield lad Jarvis Cocker has praised Arctic Monkeys and how they have achieved so much success - without even trying.He has branded the success of the band as a triumph over the pop industry that spend millions on making acts huge. Cocker told contact music: “I think it's very important because they've done it without trying. "The only reason people have got into it (the music) is because they've listened to it and they like it, so it's something real. "I guess all the music industry will probably think 'how can we emulate that or what can we do?' "I think there's nothing they can do about it because it's something that has happened naturally, there's no way to apply spin doctorism to it." |

| Arctic Monkeys Break UK Debut Album Record | ||
First week album sales live up to hype. The Arctic Monkeys debut album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" lived beyond expectations and ont he first week became the fastest selling debut album ever.The album went straight to number one in the first week and after selling 363,735 copies it managed to beat Hear'Say's debut album "Popstars", which sold 306,631 in one week to take the record back in March 2001. However, the band failed to join the rare club of having both single and album at number one when last week's chart-topper "When The Sun Goes Down" was beaten second time around by Notorious BIG's "Nasty Girl". Debut single "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" is still fighting strong, though, moving up one place to number 22 in the singles chart. Keep buying those records, people! |
