Duffy Rockferry album tops charts
DUFFY's debut album Rockferry has shot to the top of the UK album chart with 180,000 sales in its first week while her single Mercy stays top of the singles chart for a third week.
Duffy managed to outsell the rest of the Top 10 combined - (source Official Charts Company ) making it the fastest-selling album of 2008 to date and pushing Amy Winehouse’s re-issued album Back To Black into second spot.
Duffy, who hails from Wales, came second in the BBC’s Sound of 2008 talent search, and has been tipped as a rising star for 2008.
Duffy has a series of UK tour dates and festival appearances (including V), in 2008 and seems ready to achieve a real breakthrough this year.
