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.
