Ten-year-old singer Zo Mace has reached number five in the official classical album charts just one week after releasing her album Songs for My Sister.

The Cokethorpe School pupil, left, is also number two in the classical solo artist chart -- behind top selling singer Katherine Jenkins.

She recorded the 12-track CD to raise money for the Down's Syndrome Association, as a tribute to her little sister.

Jodie who was born with the condition and holes in her heart, but died following cardiac surgery at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, in March.

It is Zo's second album -- following Little Ray of Light, which raised £27,000 for the Oxford Children's Hospital last Christmas.

But it is the first to be sold nationwide -- and has attracted a frenzy of national media publicity.

Songs for My Sister, which was named after an Oxford Mail headline about Zo , is being sold in High Street shops like WHSmith, Virgin and HMV, and was the fifth best-selling classical album this week.

The Mace family, of Witney Road, Freeland, have been celebrating her success.

Her mother, Linda, said: "We're all on a bit if a high at the moment.

"I don't really think Zo knows what it all means. It's incredible and it's all down to Jodie.

"I just can't believe that we have had no record company behind us. It just goes to show that with determination and talent you can do something.

"It makes me feel that all the hard work was worth it. It's just amazing!"
