Amy Winehouse’s ‘Back to Black’ album makes a return to the Billboard Charts

The renewed interest in Amy Winehouse‘s music after her death has brought her Grammy-winning album ‘Back to Black’ back to the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The news isn’t surprising, since Winehouse’s albums shot to the top of the iTunes charts in several countries immediately after her passing. Billboard reports that ‘Back to Black’ holds down the No. 9 spot on the top 200 albums chart, with 37,000 units sold. The previous week, it had sold just 1,000 copies.

Winehouse’s debut, ‘Frank,’ also returns to the chart at No. 57. That record was less popular in the U.S. but was a critical favorite and produced a handful of the selections on our list of the Top 10 Amy Winehouse Songs. The digital EP ‘Back to Black: B-Sides’ enters the chart for the first time at No. 152.

The singer’s biggest U.S. hit, ‘Rehab,’ sold 38,000 downloads last week to enter the Digital Songs chart at No. 46. The magazine says that in the few days since her death, Winehouse’s music sold a total of 111,000 downloads.

Adele’s ’21,’ by the way, returns to the No. 1 spot on the album chart for the 11th week, dethroning Blake Shelton‘s ‘Red River Blue.’

Amy Winehouse Found Dead at 27 (UPDATES)

Troubled, Grammy-winning singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead in her North London home, Sky News is reporting. The Daily Mail reports that police have confirmed the passing.

In a statement, the London Metropolitan Police said, “Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased. On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene. Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.”

A suspected drug overdose took the life of the singer, Nick Buckley of the Sunday Mirror tweeted.

She’s battled drug addiction for years, having most recently checked back into rehabilitation in May.

Winehouse entered treatment in late 2007 for drug problems, including admitted heroin use.

Earlier in the day, Tim Gatt of Sky News tweeted a statement from her manager saying that she was canceling upcoming performances, writing, “Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances. Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen.”

She performed in a surprise appearance at the iTunes Festival on July 20th.
