"British band Mumford &amp;amp; Sons have sold over one million copies of their debut LP Sigh No More in both the UK and the US. Following their successful performances at this year&amp;#039;s Brit Awards and Grammys ceremony, the &amp;#039;Little Lion Man&amp;#039; band saw sales of their album increase dramatically, according to Music Week. Following their Grammys performance, the band saw their sales increase by 99% in the US, launching the record to a new peak of number two on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. Their Brit Awards appearance last month saw their sales rise 266% in the UK, pushing them past the one million milestone, days before the same level of sales were recorded in the US. They are the first British band to achieve this feat since Coldplay with their 2009 release Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. Mumford &amp;amp; Sons frontman Ben Lovett recently confirmed that the band has already started work on their second album. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
