What happens when you combine Simon Cowell and the UK's top pop stars in the midst of a natural disaster: a recipe for a record-shattering charity single which has proven to live up to the hype it has created. The remake of R.E.M.'s 1993 song "Everybody Hurts," which includes vocals from respected artists Leona Lewis, Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey, Mika, James Blunt, Jon Bon Jovi, Alexandra Burke and Susan Boyle amongst other huge names, was released a day early (Sunday) due to high demand and that push-up seems to be paying off.
The touching single has sold more than 200,000 copies of the single in its first two days of sales, and is on-pace to be one of the fastest selling singles of this century and perhaps of all time. All proceeds from the sales of the single will go directly to charities supporting relief efforts in Haiti.
The song will undoubtedly end up at number one the UK Singles Charts this upcoming week due to the remarkably strong sales and such success couldn't go be for a better cause.
