The album surpassed Elastica's self-titled album to become the fastest selling debut album in British music history, shifting over 360,000 copies in its first week,〔("The 100 Best Debut Albums of All Time. 30. Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not" ). Rolling Stone. Retrieved 28 October 2014〕 and remains the fastest selling debut album by a band.〔Leona Lewis's 2007 album ''Spirit'' became the outright fastest selling debut album upon its release in November 2007.〕 It has since gone quintuple platinum in the UK. The album includes both tracks from the band's original EP, ''Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys'', as well as their first two singles and UK number ones, "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and "When the Sun Goes Down". It has since appeared in several critics' publications, and is often cited as one of the best rock albums of the decade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arctic Monkeys, 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' )〕 It received the 2006 Mercury Prize for Best Album. It was ranked number 371 on ''Rolling Stone''s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2013 ''Rolling Stone'' ranked it the 30th greatest debut album of all time.〔 In October 2013, music magazine ''NME'' ranked the album at number 19 in their poll of the 500 greatest albums of all time. ==Composition and content== The common thematic content of ''Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'' has led to it being considered by some a concept album concerning "the lives of young Northern England clubbers".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Arctic Monkeys: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not : Rolling Stone )〕 All tracks record first-person narratives of observations made within this context. "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", "Still Take You Home", "You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights But You Were Staring Straight at Me" and "Dancing Shoes" all examine human behaviour in nightclubs. Alex Turner describes "Dancing Shoes" as being about "people always looking to pull when they go out however much they mask it."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Arctic Monkeys' debut album in their own words )〕 Other songs examine other aspects of nightlife; "From the Ritz to the Rubble" is an account of nightclub bouncers, "Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured" tells the typical experiences and troubles of getting a taxicab after a night out, and "When the Sun Goes Down" was inspired by prostitutes in the locality of their practice room in the Neepsend district of Sheffield. Other songs are themed on romantic relationships, such as "Mardy Bum", or youth subcultures, such as "Fake Tales of San Francisco" and "A Certain Romance". In ''NME''s list of top 100 tracks of the decade, "A Certain Romance" was described as "a strangely even-handed song which starts out scorning local townies then appears to absolve them at the end of the song." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
