'Back In Black' to hold album top spot

Amy Winehouse’s second album, ‘Back To Black’, is set to be confirmed as the biggest-selling album of 2007 in the UK.

The album has sold over 1.8 million copies in the UK this year.

Winehouse has received an enormous amount of publicity worldwide this year, with news of a drug overdose in August, being arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and a spate of cancelled gigs failing to halt sales of her second album, which actually came out in late 2006.

Winehouse's debut album, ‘Frank’, sold 300,000 copies in the UK in 2007, despite being released in October 2003.
