[edit] Artist-specific awards

The group has won many awards for the artist specifically—that is, without relating to a particular work. These range from Best New Act in 2005 to the most recent award, Best British Band in 2008. They have won awards in foreign countries, like Mexico.

In the NME Awards they made history in 2006 by becoming the first band to win both "Best New Band" and "Best British Band" in the same night.[1]
