Album info:
Parklife entered the UK album chart at Number One, outselling Pink Floyd's "Division Bell" by three to one, and remained on the chart for 90 weeks.

Titles considered, but thankfully rejected, for 'Parklife' included 'Soft Porn', 'Sport', 'London' and 'Magic Arrows', the latter is a darts reference. Damon was reading Martin Amis' book 'London Fields', which had a big influence on the album. One of the characters in that book, Keith Talent, is a darts player.
