Can you believe it’s been nearly three years since Amy Winehouse had a hit song and we all know she hasn’t had an easy time in her personal life over the last few of years either, but that doesn’t mean she’s not still bringing in the bacon.
Winehouse was reportedly paid $85,000 recently for the use of her signature (and autobiographical) song Rehab in an episode of the American TV show Gleeon Fox, the same network that is home to mega-hit singing contest show American Idol.
The troubled Brit singer is rumored to have been paid more dosh than any other musical act that’s had their music featured on the hit show, including the group Journey for their song Don’t Stop Believing, probably the most well known ditty to have been covered by the cast of Glee.
Furthermore, the show’s use of Rehab is probably what pushed the song back into the top 100 in America.
Not a bad paycheck Amy! Considering you didn’t have to perform or actively attend to this business deal and to top it off you get your music heard by an expanded ‘Gleek’ audience of millions and that can’t be bad!
Now, maybe you can use some of that cash to get and stay sober, get your on-again off-again marriage sorted out, and finally finish and release your next album!
It’s about time, it’s been three years already girl!
