Amy Winehouse won five Grammy Awards on the 10th of February 2008, tying the then-record for the most Grammys won by a female artist in a single night. She won Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album (all for "Rehab"), and Best New Artist. She performed via satellite from London's Riverside Studios because her visa had not been processed in time to attend the ceremony in Los Angeles.
Back to Black (2006) is Amy Winehouse's best-selling album, with over 20 million copies sold worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.
