The Arctic Monkeys' first album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not," has become the fastest-selling debut in British chart history, with sales of more than 360,000 copies during its first week on the charts. Figures from the Official UK Charts Co., which compiles all album sales in Britain, show the Sheffield foursome easily smashed the record previously held by pop band Hear'Say. Their "Popstars" album — the result of a hugely popular reality television show — sold just over 306,000 copies in a week in March 2001.
