More heat on Arctic Monkeys
Infectious rockers the Arctic Monkeys -- who released Britain's fastest-selling debut album after building a cult Internet following -- have won the prestigious Mercury music prize. The group from Sheffield, northern England, -- whose album ''Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'' has also enjoyed strong global sales -- claimed a $38,000 prize at a London ceremony Tuesday. Judges of the prize, which has honored the best album of the year by a British or Irish band since 1992, had previously been renowned for overlooking populist choices in favor of obscure artists. The honor is awarded on the basis of innovation, rather than commercial sales. Previous winners include London rapper Dizzee Rascal, Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand and Antony and the Johnsons, fronted by British-born but U.S.-reared Antony Hegarsty.
