Amy Winehouse Tickets

Amy Winehouse's posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures has topped the UK charts in its first week of release.

The singer's third LP has shifted more than 194,000 copies, making it her biggest weekly sales total in her entire career. Lioness - which features previously unheard tracks and reworked versions of Amy's classics - has become the fourth best-selling album of the year.

Upon hearing the news of the album's success, Amy's mother Janis said: "It's such amazing news that Amy's album has gone to number one, and just goes to show what she still means to people."

"It's especially good for the Foundation and knowing that every sale will go to help a deserving cause makes the news all the more special. I'm so proud of my daughter and so happy that she is still touching people. She's forever in my heart."
