Her debut single, "Rockferry", was released in late 2007, and charted at number 45 on the UK Singles Chart.[9] Her follow-up single, "Mercy", was internationally released, charting inside the top ten on 15 international singles charts, as well as reaching number one on eight of these.[10][11] "Mercy" was the third-biggest-selling single of 2008 in the United Kingdom.[12] This came after staying at number one on the UK Singles Chart for five weeks.[13] Duffy's debut album Rockferry, was released on 3 March 2008, and became the biggest selling album of that year in the UK.[12] Her follow-up singles, "Warwick Avenue" and "Stepping Stone", did not replicate her early success, although they still sold well; for example "Warwick Avenue" charted at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart.[14] Her fifth single, "Rain on Your Parade", was released in December 2008. Rockferry was the fourth-best-selling album of 2008 worldwide, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, and since its release the album has sold over six million copies worldwide.[15] The album won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.[16]

Duffy released her second album, titled Endlessly on 29 November 2010, which to date has charted in most major markets.[17] The lead single from the album, "Well, Well, Well", was released on 21 November 2010.[17] Duffy also contributed to the films soundtracks of The Boat That Rocked, Patagonia and Legend.
