“Back to Black”, Amy’s deeply personal, lyrical and musical masterpiece, was not only a huge critical sensation but also became a major commercial success. In the UK, the album debuted at No. 3 and later reached No. 1 on the Official Albums Chart before going on to be the best-selling album of 2007. The album, which has now sold over 4.5 million copies the UK earning a 15×Platinum certification, debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 eventually peaking at No. 2 following Amy's infamous 5-Grammy haul. Amy swept the board that memorable night winning the prestigious Record Of The Year & Song Of The Year awards as well as Best Pop Vocal Album, Artist of The Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance with ‘Rehab’. Now 20 years on and a double-Platinum RIAA certification later, Back to Black has since topped charts across Europe — including Austria, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland — and has sold well over 25 million copies worldwide. Amy Winehouse, a once in a generation talent, is rightly revered around the world for her extraordinary songwriting ability, her honesty, her remarkable voice, and the purity of her artistry.

“It's crazy that six songs made in a fit of furious musical infatuation would matter so deeply to so many people twenty years later.”

– Mark Ronson, 2026

“Amy was one of one. One-of-a-kind artist. One-of-a-kind spirit. One-of-a-kind soul. Experiencing that level of talent, passion, humour, honesty, and love for what she created was a gift.”

– Salaam Remi, 2026
