Amy Winehouse Tops Britain's Best Sellers List

25 August 2011

After her shock death last month, Amy Winehouse is still achieving great things musically.

Britain's Official Charts Company has said Winehouse's Grammy-award winning Back to Black album has just become the best-selling album in the UK in the 21st century.
Back to Black overtook James Blunt's 2005 debut album Back to Bedlam to claim the title this week.

A surge of interest in Winehouse's music since her death means that Back To Black has now sold a whopping 3,259,100 copies edging it just ahead of Back To Bedlam's 3,241,118.

An initial post-mortem failed to determine cause of death, and Winehouse's family said this week that toxicology tests showed she had no illegal drugs in her system when she died.

A further inquest into Winehouse's death begins in October.
