Duffy takes US charts by storm

Duffy has stormed straight in at number four on the US album chart with Rockferry.

In the US singles chart, the Welsh singer's single Mercy climbed from 66 to 27 and was named the Billboard hot 100 "sales gainer".

Duffy's Stateside chart achievements comes on the back of recent success in the UK charts which has seen both Rockferry and Mercy top the UK album and singles charts since the start of 2008.
