Arctic Monkeys win Britain's Mercury Prize

LONDON - 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, beating a diverse field of musicians.
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.
