Biography

Arctic Monkeys are an English indie rock band formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield. The band consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, lead/rhythm guitar), Jamie Cook (rhythm/lead guitar), Nick O'Malley (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Matt Helders (drums, backing vocals). Former member Andy Nicholson (bass guitar, backing vocals) left the band in 2006 shortly after their debut album was released.

 

The band have released four studio albums: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006), Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007), Humbug (2009) and Suck It and See (2011), as well as one live album At the Apollo (2008). Their fifth album AM is set to be released in September 2013, their singles "R U Mine?" , "Do I Wanna Know?" and "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" (released in February 2012, June 2013 and August 2013, respectively), will feature on the upcoming release.

 

The band's debut album became the fastest-selling debut album in British music history, surpassing Elastica's self-titled album and remains the fastest-selling debut album by a group in the UK. The band have won five Brit Awards—winning Best British Group twice, and have twice been nominated for Grammy Awards.

 

Arctic Monkeys were heralded as one of the first group of acts to come to the public attention via the Internet (fan-based sites rather than from the band), with commentators suggesting they represented the possibility of a change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed. The band are also regarded as one of the most prominent bands to be part of the post-punk revival in the UK, after achieving commercial success and spawning two number one singles with their debut album. - Wikipedia

Arctic Monkeys!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

Two tracks in the top20! :yahoo:

Yay for the Arctics climbing. :cheer: Shame R U Mine missed out. Would of been good to hear 3 Monkeys tracks in todays show. Anyway looking forward to seeing the album sales later!
Arctic Monkeys getting the double top 20 they just missed out on the week this came out, hurrah.
Whilst I'm aware the album has been released this week, does anyone know why 'Do I Wanna Know' has climbed higher than 'Why Do You Always...' recently? I guess it's still on the radio and people might prefer it but I was wondering if there was another reason?

Probably because it's a better track & I think radio are supporting Do I Wanna Know more.

Finally on board with Arctic Monkeys after giving AM a listen. Might have to give their earlier stuff a spin too and get over my annoyance of their big singles.

Three weeks consecutively at Number 22 equals the record (held by many songs). A fourth week at number 22 would equal the non-consecutive 4 weeks of

Biography

Dancehall superstar Sean Paul began scoring hit singles in Jamaica in 1996 and steadily attracted international attention thereafter, eventually breaking into the pop mainstream in 2002 with Dutty Rock. Born Sean Paul Henriques on January 8, 1973, the multi-ethnic Paul (his parents had Portuguese, Chinese, and Jamaican forebears) grew up comfortably in St. Andrew, Jamaica, his mother a renowned painter. He was a skilled athlete, excelling in swimming and especially water polo, playing for the Jamaican national team in the latter. Although his education was enough to land him a prosperous career, dancehall music remained Paul's first love, particularly crafting rhythm tracks. He became a DJ after he began writing his own songs, patterning his style largely after Super Cat and finding a mentor in Don Yute; he also found contacts in several members of the reggae-pop band Third World in 1993, which helped open up business connections.

 

Paul released his debut single, "Baby Girl," with producer Jeremy Harding in 1996; it proved a significant success, leading to further Jamaican hits like "Nah Get No Bly (One More Try)," "Deport Them," "Excite Me," "Infiltrate," and "Hackle Mi." In 1999, Sean Paul started to make inroads to American audiences; he was first commissioned to collaborate with fellow dancehall hitmaker Mr. Vegas on a production for rapper DMX; titled "Here Comes the Boom," the song was included in director Hype Williams' film Belly. Also that year, Paul scored a Top Ten hit on the Billboard rap charts with "Hot Gal Today." Unfortunately, Paul had a very public falling out with Mr. Vegas over the packaging of the latter's remix of "Hot Gal Today"; still, it didn't slow Paul's career momentum, as he played the Summer Jam 2000 in New York City, the center of his American popularity.

 

That fall, Paul released his first album on VP Records; the sprawling Stage One collected many of Paul's previous hit singles and compilation cuts, plus a few brand-new tracks. Dutty Rock (2002) and The Trinity (2005) were extremely successful. Both albums peaked in the Top Ten of the album chart and featured a handful of mainstream smashes. His 2009 release Imperial Blaze featured the singles "So Fine" and "Hold My Hand," the latter a duet with Keri Hilson. The loose Odyssey Mixtape dropped in 2011 and was followed a year later by Tomahawk Technique, a more pop and dance-oriented album with production from the likes of Stargate, DJ Ammo, and Benny Blanco. - iTunes

Sean Paul still in the top 20? :o

 

An invisible hit for me :lol:

Probably because it's a better track & I think radio are supporting Do I Wanna Know more.

 

"Why'd You Call Me..." is still higher than "Do I Wanna Know" on the radio airplay chart this week.

(The same?) Mary Pearce was also the vocalist on Calvin Harris' 'Ready For The Weekend' (linking into another discussion in this thread :P) although uncredited. From the way you phrased this I assume you knew that already but just in case

 

No, I didn't know that. I only phrased it like that in case there was a member of a group with the surname Pearce.

 

It surprised me that he is the first soloist "Pearce", it's quite a common name down here in Cornwall.

(34) Chris Brown-Love More

 

Didn't care for this tune. Not as good as his last tune

Olly had number ones in 2010, 2011 and 2012. It looks like he will miss out on the top spot this year. :(

 

I wouldn't be so sure...he has a brand new single and repackage of his current album coming before Christmas :)
