The Arctic Monkeys "Favourite Worst Nightmare" went straight to the top of the UK albums chart this week, to become the fastest selling album of the year as it outsold most of the Top 20 albums put together. Following up their record breaking debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not was never going to be easy, but the Arctic Monkeys have delivered a superb second album.From the opening single track "Brianstorm" to the closing number "505", the distinctive sound of the Arctic Monkeys comes through loud and clear - all without compromising them as a band. Earlier pre-album press reports had indicated this album was very different from the first, which could have been worrying for fans - yet "Favourite Worst Nightmare" delivers everything you have come to expect from Sheffield's finest.
This album should go on to become one of the best selling albums of the year and will no doubt bag the boys some more awards to add to their growing collection. For us, the listening public - we get to add a quality album to our collection.
I read about this some days ago, apparently iTunes had problems with the release of the album so they released the album tracks individually ... all the songs entered the top 200
ReplyDeleteYeah it was weird that so many album tracks made it to the charts, but I'm glad the album is doing so well here in the UK and in the US it has made an impression.
