On Amazon...

 

Amy Winehouse’s ‘Back To Black’ has replaced Coldplay to become Amazon’s biggest selling album of all time.

 

The singer’s second album, which was released at the end of 2006, has continued to sell in well despite her personal problems.

 

The online retailer revealed said that sales of the album doubled last week after the singer was cautioned by police for slapping a man with an open hand.

 

“The sales of ‘Back to Black’ have been consistently high for the last year and a half and we have seen massive uplifts on the title during periods when Amy Winehouse has commanded many column inches,” said Julian Monaghan, Head of Music Buying at Amazon.

 

Monaghan said the publicity from Winehouse’s tabloid troubles had enabled her music to reach “a very wide audience”.

 

“She has lead the way in a resurgence of British female music talent and she thoroughly deserves the mantle of the biggest selling album of all time," he added.

 

Coldplay’s 2005 album ‘X&Y’ is second in the list, with Keane’s ‘Hopes and Fears’ third.

 

Other members of the top-10 include albums by The Beatles, Snow Patrol and Robbie Williams.

let's cross our fingers ! :D

Never mind. Thats only amazon. I think Coldplay are still in second place for most albums sold in one week in music history jopefully they can hold it.

I like Amy Winehouse's music but dont like her attidude lets hope she starightens herself out and appreciates the support and success she has as some people would kill to be in her place.

She has slagged Chris Martin off once or twice before, but lets face it he is far more of a musician than she is. Sorry but she has been given the chance of a life time and still gives woe is me im a drug addict but hopefully she sort herself out as her music is good.

im not imppressed amy is more pop than coldplay. well done coldplay you keep the title for three years and youre a rock band.:)
