Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black has replaced Coldplay to become Amazon’s biggest selling album of all time.
The singer’s 2nd album, which was released in 2006, has continued to sell despite (due to?) her personal problems.
Amazon said that sales of the album went up 200% last week after she allegedly slapped a man.
“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.
