The sophomore LP from the 27-year-old, who was found dead in her Camden home late last month, fought off competition from Adele's 21 and a new entry in the shape of Watch The Throne by Jay-Z and Kanye West to keep the title once again.

Her 2003 debut Frank, meanwhile, slips one spot on the rankings, while Adele's 19 record falls the same amount to complete the top five.

Further down, jazz star Randy Crawford arrives at six with her Best Of compilation, Lady GaGa's mega-seller Born This Way drops three to nine and Jessie J climbs two from 12 to complete the Top 10 with Who You Are.

Also climbing this Sunday is Pitbull's Planet Pit, up three to 11, while Chase & Status crash back out of the Top 10 with No More Idols, which is down to 12 from last week's seven.

The fallers continue in the higher numbers, with Rihanna's Loud, Caro Emerald's Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream tumbling four, six and four places respectively to 14, 15 and 17. A new entry from heavy metal rockers Trivium, entitled In Waves, slots between them at 16.

Finally, New York sisters The Pierces bump You & I seven spots up the chart to finish at 18, while Nicki Minaj draws the top 20 to a close with Pink Friday, down four from last Sunday's 16 in its 38th week of release.

1. (1) Amy Winehouse: 'Back To Black'
