With the charting of their fifth, most recent album, AM, they became the first independent-label band to debut at number one in the UK with their first five albums.
To support the album, they were scheduled to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on 9 October 2013, before starting a 100 concert tour in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.
They didn’t get to play that show, however, because Kimmel’s guest Kanye West talked for too long.
A week later the band performed the first two singles form the album, "Do I Wanna Know?" and "R U Mine?" on the show's outdoor stage.
The album was the second fastest selling album of the year, trailing only Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories, and featured in many end of year lists as one of the best of 2013. It even made it to NME magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
