Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys Fansite - Arctic Monkeys Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys Videos

Arctic Monkeys have entered the Australian album charts at number #1 and the US charts at a respectable number #24 in the US.

The album almost sold 34,000 in the US, which, for a band's debut release who havent even stepped foot on American soil to promote the album by official press, prior to it's release, is quite an achievement. Even "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" won't be played on the radio until 6 March.

And as mentioned, in Australia, the band rocketed to number one in their debut week.
