Arctic Monkeys Claim Debut Number One

Sheffield-based post-punk rockists Arctic Monkeys have stormed into the number one spot on the UK singles chart, with I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor.

The Northern quartet booted munt-pop trio Sugababes off the top spot with their debut(ish) single for Domino. The band had previously released a limited edition single called Fake Tales Of San Francisco, which wasn’t marketed.

The band has built up something of a cult following via the internet, and regularly chat with fans on their website’s forum.

Having seen the Whistle Test-esque video that’s been on heavy rotation on MTV2 over the past week, we’re a little concerned that the the lead singer (Alex Turner) plays his guitar "a little too high up". But overall, this is a fair effort.

Arctic Monkeys have recorded their debut album, which will be released in the coming months.

The UK top ten in full:

1 - Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
2 - Sugababes - Push The Button
3 - McFly - I Wanna Hold You
