of the EP Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? just three
months after their record-breaking debut album has been
criticised by some, who have seen it as money-grabbing
and cashing in on their success.[32] The band countered
that it regularly releases new music not to make money,
but to avoid the boredom of spending three years touring on one album.[33]

history, selling 363,735 copies in the rst week.[20] This
smashed the previous record of 306,631 copies held by
Popstars by HearSay, and sold more copies on its rst
day alone 118,501 than the rest of the Top 20 albums
combined.[21] The cover sleeve of Whatever People Say
I Am, Thats What I'm Not, showing Chris McClure, a
friend of the band smoking a cigarette, was criticised by
the head of the NHS in Scotland for reinforcing the idea
that smoking is OK.[22] The image on the CD itself is a
shot of an ashtray full of cigarettes. The bands product
manager denied the accusation, and suggested the opposite You can see from the image smoking is not doing
him the world of good.[22]

Soon after the release of the EP in the UK, the band

announced that Andy Nicholson would not take part in
the bands forthcoming North America tour due to fatigue from an intensive period of touring.[34] On returning to the UK, Nicholson conrmed that he would leave
Arctic Monkeys and start his own project. He also said
that he couldn't deal with the bands fame and the success over the previous six months. In a statement on their
ocial website, the band said: We are sad to tell everyone that Andy is no longer with the band, also conrmed
that Nick O'Malley former bassist with The Dodgems
who had drafted in as temporary bassist for the tour
would continue as bassist for the rest of their summer tour
schedule.[35] Shortly after, Nick O'Malley was conrmed
as the formal replacement for Nicholson.
Arctic Monkeys rst release without Nicholson, the single "Leave Before the Lights Come On", came on 14 August 2006. Turner said that the song was one of the last
songs he wrote before their rise to fame, and suggested
that it feels very much like it could be on the album.[36]
Peaking at No. 4 in the UK, the single became the bands
rst failure to reach No. 1. The band was re-united at the
Leeds Festival when Nicholson met up with his former
band mates and his replacement bassist, O'Malley.[37]
Only the original band members, minus Nicholson, were
present at the award ceremony when Whatever People Say
I Am, Thats What I'm Not won the 2006 Mercury Prize
two weeks later.[38]

The record was released a month later in the US on February 21, 2006[23] and entered at No. 24 on the Billboard
album chart after it sold 34,000 units in its rst week,
making it the second fastest selling for a debut indie rock
album in America.[24] However, US sales for the rst year
did not match those of the rst week in the UK for the
album. US critics were more reserved about the band
than their UK counterparts, and appeared unwilling to

Humbug (200810)

The bands second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare,

was released on 23 April 2007, a week after the release
of accompanying single "Brianstorm". Like its predecessor, Favourite Worst Nightmare also went straight to
No. 1 in the album charts. Turner described the songs
as very dierent from last time, adding that the sound
of some tracks are a bit full-on a bit like From the
Ritz to the Rubble, The View from the Afternoon, that
sort of thing.[39] A secret gig played at Sheelds Leadmill on 10 February 2007, debuted seven new songs (six
from Favourite Worst Nightmare and one other).[40] Early
reviews of the release were positive, and described it as
very, very fast and very, very loud.[41]

September 2007 the band insisted on taking a working
holiday to Ibiza where it played what turned out to be the
last ever full live Ibiza Rocks show in Bar M (now Ibiza
Rocks Bar). The band performed in front of 700 people
in the bar by the beach whilst many thousands lined the
beach outside unable to get a ticket The Sun described
this concert as the rock event of the summer stating
that most people left saying they had just witnessed the
best gig of their lives.[45] The band played their last show
of the tour on 17 December 2007 at Manchester Apollo,
which was lmed for the live DVD 'At The Apollo' which
was released in cinemas the following year.

Meanwhile, the band continued to pick up awards from 1.4 Humbug (200810)
around the world, namely the 'Best New Artist in the

These themes continued on the following album Favourite

growing old, while musically the band took up a more
uptempo and aggressive sound.
Their fourth album Suck It and See sees the band exploring styles, mixing them with newfound maturity. Turner
said: I think the new album is a balance between our

British rock bands from the 1960s, as well as The Smiths,
and slower, love-themed ballads featured more heavily on
the album than the fast-paced, rockier songs that typies
the bands sound.
