Description
AM, Arctic Monkeys' fifth album which saw both the album and single reach the highest charts in the US, further solidified the band's global acclaim. It was the first time in UK history that an indie label had released five consecutive number one albums in the UK charts. It also topped the US Alternative Albums Chart, Independent Albums Chart, and Rock Albums Chart, reaching number six overall. It once again won Best British Album at the Brit Awards and was nominated for both the Mercury Prize and a Grammy Award.
A departure from the traditional rock 'n' roll of their previous album, this album incorporates a diverse range of rock sounds, incorporating influences from R&B, soul, and hip-hop. It's considered the band's greatest work to date, and a must-have album for music fans.
