Winehouse tops Ivor awards list

Singer Amy Winehouse has been nominated three times at this year's Ivor Novello songwriting awards.

The star's tracks, Love is A Losing Game and You Know I'm No Good, are both up for best song this year.

Winehouse's Rehab, which picked up the award for best contemporary song last year, is up for the best selling British song prize.

The awards, which honour British music publishers, songwriters and composers, will be held in London on 22 May.
