Arctic Monkeys have scored their fifth consecutive number one album with AM - and made chart history in doing so.
The band, fronted by Alex Turner, are the first act on an independent record label to see five albums debut at number one.
The album, released by Domino Records, went straight to the top of the charts in the week it was revealed to be in the running for this year's Barclaycard Mercury Prize. It is the third nomination for the Sheffield band, who took the prize in 2006.

In the past seven days, more than 157,000 copies of AM were sold in the UK, making it the second-fastest selling album of the year behind Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, which sold 165,000 copies in its first week of sale in May.
Martin Talbot, chief executive of the Official Charts Company, said: "Congratulations to the unstoppable Arctic Monkeys and all at Domino Records. Scoring a fifth official number one studio album in a row is an exceptional achievement."
Up-and-coming indie pop group London Grammar took the number two slot with debut album If You Wait, the Official Charts Company said.
