The discography of Arctic Monkeys, a British indie rock[1][2] band, currently consists of four studio albums, three extended plays (EPs) and fourteen singles.
Arctic Monkeys were formed in 2002 by guitarist and vocalist Alex Turner, guitarist Jamie Cook, bass guitarist Andy Nicholson and drummer and backing vocalist Matt Helders. After recording and independently distributing demos, the band released their debut EP, Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys, on 30 May 2005. Among various offers, Domino Records was the label favoured by the band, and they signed a deal with the London-based group in June 2005.
Arctic Monkeys' first release on Domino was the single "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", which went straight to #1 in the United Kingdom.[3] A second single, "When the Sun Goes Down", was released a week before their full-length debut and followed in the footsteps of its predecessor by topping the UK chart.[3] The band's debut album was released on 23 January 2006; Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not reached #1 in the UK[3] and Australia[4] and became the fastest-selling debut album in British history, selling 363,735 copies in its first week.[5]
A second EP was released on 24 April; Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? featured the last material recorded with original bassist Andy Nicholson, whose departure from the band was announced in June.[6] He was replaced by Nick O'Malley, formerly of The Dodgems. "Leave Before the Lights Come On" was the first single released after Nicholson's departure, which reached #4 in the UK.[3] "Fake Tales of San Francisco" was also released in August, though only in the US as a radio-only single and the Netherlands.
The Monkeys returned to the recording studio in late-2006 to record the follow-up to their 4× Platinum[7] debut. "Brianstorm", which was the first single released from the album, peaked at number two on the charts. Favourite Worst Nightmare was released on 18 April and reached #1 in the UK[3] while improving on Whatever...'s American performance by reaching #7 on the Billboard 200.[8] The second single released from Favourite Worst Nightmare was "Fluorescent Adolescent", which reached #5.[3] On 3 December "Teddy Picker" was released, which became the band's lowest-charting single up to that point, reaching number 20 in the United Kingdom.[3]
