Costello Music is the debut album by Scottish indie rock band the Fratellis. It was released in the United Kingdom on 11 September 2006, by Fallout Records, Drop the Gun Recordings, and Island Records, and in the United States on 13 March 2007 on Cherrytree Records. The album was a commercial success, debuting at number two on the UK Albums Chart, behind Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds, ultimately spending 83 weeks in the top 100. Five singles were released from the album, as well as the download-only EP Flathead. "Chelsea Dagger" was the most successful single, peaking at number five in the UK and number four in the Netherlands, but the other singles failed to chart in most countries.
The band toured the record internationally, playing shows in Europe, the United States and Japan, and won the 2007 BRIT Award for Best British Breakthrough Act. As of March 2018, the album had sold 1,145,000 copies in the UK.
