Amy Winehouse’s record label has put the success of her hit album Back To Black down to the increased media frenzy surrounding the singer’s turbulent personal life.

The Rehab star’s sophomore album was named the world’s biggest-selling record from a British artist in 2007, shifting more than 3.4 million albums across the globe for Winehouse’s record label Universal Music International.

Gwyneth Paltrow has scuppered rumours of a planned duet with her rocker husband Chris Martin - the Hollywood star can’t stand mainstream chart music.

The Shakespeare In Love actress, who revealed her vocal talents in 2000 movie Duets, has turned down several recording contracts because she doesn’t enjoy “packaged music” - despite being married to Coldplay star Martin and boasting pop superstar Madonna as a close friend.
