Haiti single at the top of the charts

February 23rd, 2010

The charity single, Everybody Hurts, has reached the top of the charts and has sold more than 453,000 copies in its first week. The official UK charts company revealed that the single has gained the biggest first week sales of any charity track this century.

The song was performed by a number of stars including Leona Lewis, Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, Take That, Cheryl Cole, and it was organised by Simon Cowell. The money raised will be split between the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) and The Sun newspaper’s Helping Haiti campaign.

It is amazing to hear stories of how individual people, businesses, groups and charities have given to help Haiti and many lives will be changed as a result of everyone’s efforts.
