Nominated in three categories, more than any other artist, Duffy joined fellow Honours List winners Led Zeppelin, Paul Weller, the Sex Pistols, Genesis, Neil Diamond and The Specials.
Duffy was beaten as Best Breakthrough Act by Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner's side project The Last Shadow Puppets.
The Welsh singer-songwriter also lost out on the Best Album Award to Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds for their offering Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!.
The event was hosted by Mojo magazine's editor-in-chief Phil Alexander at The Brewery in east London.
Phil said of Mercy: "It's a timeless song which is exactly why Mojo readers voted for it.
"It could really have come from any period in time over the last 50 years.
"At the start of the year she was one of the artists in our Eight For 08 feature but we didn't expect her to sell a million albums in the UK in six months!"
The guest-list at the event included Dave Grohl, Kate Nash, Al Murray, David Arnold, Phill Jupitus, Georgie Fame and Graham Coxon.
The ceremony, dedicated to celebrating modern music, consisted of key awards which were voted for by readers of the monthly music bible Mojo magazine and users of its website www.mojo4music.com.
