Taylor Swift has denied Arctic Monkeys their seventh straight chart-topping album, after her own new LP raced to number one on Friday.
Her 10th album, Midnights, became the fastest-selling record of 2022, with 204,000 equivalent sales in week one.
The Sheffield band finished in second place with more than 100,000 chart sales in seven days for The Car.
That would have been enough sales to reach number one in a normal week where there was no competition from Swift.
The US singer more than doubled her previous best opening week album sales, which she achieved in 2014 for her album 1989.
