This applies to both US and UK readers.
This song is already a megahit overseas, especially in the UK. It is currently #1 on the UK Singles Chart, and I can see why. The song follows the formula of many big hits from the last year; take an old style and make it modern. Amy Winehouse perfected the technique on her blockbuster album Back to Black. Now, Welse singer Duffy has taken a stab at it with the single Mercy. The song is dripping with retro 60's/Motown sounds, sounding like something that Supremes released 40 years ago. Yet, it sounds fresh and new.
In America, iTunes has named the song "Single of the Week", allowing people to download it for free. I definitely suggest taking advantage of the opportunity. The price is a gift, because this song is definitely worth the cost.
