Just 48 hours after it was made available for download, the album of U2 covers has hit number one on the iTunes sales chart in Ireland while also cracking the top 10 in the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and Germany. All proceeds from AHK-toong BAY-bi Covered sales will be benefiting Concern's Horn of Africa initiative, whose mission is to provide emergency relief for the region's 10 million people being affected by severe drought.

The album features music legends Nine Inch Nails, Damien Rice, Patti Smith, Garbage, Depeche Mode, Snow Patrol, The Fray, Gavin Friday, The Killers, Glasvegas and Jack White each covering one track from the 1991 classic, in addition to a Jacques Lu Cont remix of the original artists' take on 'Even Better Than The Real Thing'.
