She was also the first female solo artist to receive the award. Alex Turner has received five nominations as a member of Arctic Monkeys and The Last Shadow Puppets, winning once. Thom Yorke has 6 nominations, 5 with Radiohead and one for "The Eraser", but has never won. The Mercury Prize can have a considerable effect on sales for those artists who are shortlisted.
