Arctic Monkeys To Have 18 'Singles' In Charts

The all-conquering Arctic Monkeys are expected to make chart history by having an astonishing 18 tracks in the singles charts this Sunday.

All 12 tracks from their new album �Favourite Worst Nightmare� along with six from their debut �Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not� are headed for the top 200 from internet download sales.

The fantastically named HMV spokesperson Gennaro Castaldo tells the BBC, �The Arctic Monkeys are currently on course to have a total of 18 songs in the top 200 when the next official UK charts are announced on Sunday.

"You'd probably have to go back to the hey-day of the Beatles in the early-mid sixties to find anything that could come close to matching this record."

However, the first single off the album Brianstorm failed to top the charts  � although it is expected to stay in the top five this week.
