amy winehouse, album, top, uk album charts, death

Amy Winehouse's album Back To Black has shot to the top of the UK album charts the week after her death.

Just eight days after the singer's body was found in London, her second album has knocked Adele's record-breaking album 21 off the top spot.

Her debut album Frank was also in the top 10 and charted at number five, while the double-album box set Frank and Back To Black went in at number 10.

HMV's Gennaro Castaldo said: "It's no real surprise that Back To Black has gone back to the top of the album charts.

"We saw such a surge in demand for Amy's albums soon after her death was announced that we pretty much sold out and had to re-order more copies. Obviously quite a few people have been downloading the album but many more seem to have wanted it on CD."

Model Kelly Brook has beaten Jennifer Lopez and Pippa Middleton to win a poll for the best bikini body.

In the survey of 2,000 people by Gillette Venus, both men and women voted for Brook, 31, who is famed for her curvy figure.

Lopez, 42, scored second place, while Middleton, the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, managed to land third place.

According to British newspaper the Daily Mail, behavioural psychologist Donna Dawson said: "Kelly Brook's perfectly symmetrical statistics of 34-24-34 give her a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7, which falls within the deemed optimum range for female attractiveness in Western society.

"She wins with women because her curvy shape represents a figure women can attain, and for men her hour-glass shape communicates good health to the primordial male brain."
