Soul singer Amy Winehouse has taken top spot on the British album chart just over a week after she was found dead at her London home. The 27-year-old has acclaimed 1 Back to Black -- first grabbed 2 the number one spot back in 2007. But it's now charting again, dislodging fellow diva Adele's release 3 21. Twenty-seven-year-old Winehouse, a five-time Grammy Award winner, was found dead at her north London home last Saturday. They haven't worked out yet just how she died.


She was one of the biggest names on the bill, but festival fans were less than impressed with Regina Spektor's performance at Splendour in the Grass last night. Punters left her performance in droves, outraged 4 that her voice was drowned out by bands on other stages. To make matters worse, Spektor's performance at the festival was her only appearance worldwide in 2011. For the first time in years, tickets to the music festival haven't sold out with some punters turned away by the $500 a piece--ticket price.


And from an oft-noted Splendour to the best names on stage, some of the finest Australian live artists and performers will be recognised in Sydney tonight at the annual Helpmann Awards. The ceremony will also pay tribute 5 to some of Australia's musical theatre legends. Nancy Hayes, Jill Perryman and Toni Lamond will be sharing this year's JC Williamson Award for lifetime achievement.
