La redazione del New Musical Express ha stabilito quali siano stati i cinquanta migliori album del 2006. Hanno vinto, non sorprendentemente visto che la band è stata praticamente scoperta e poi attivamente sostenuta dal settimanale stesso, gli Arctic Monkeys con il loro CD di debutto "Whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not".
