Watch out U.S.: British group the Arctic Monkeys may properly break America at last in 2018 after 16 years together. In the band’s native U.K., its new studio album Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, today topped the Official Albums Chart Update. The Arctic Monkeys have been looking good on the dance floor, tour stage and U.K. charts for years – with a string of No. While some critics have suggested that the Arctic Monkeys have been held back by their northern-English accents and cultural references, that never held the Beatles back. The Arctic Monkeys’ new album on Domino Records is outselling the rest of the British Top 20 combined at the “midweek” point, the Official Chart Company said.
