The Hope For Haiti album seems to be getting its message out, with enough Americans – 171,000 and rising – downloading it to make it number one on the Billboard 200.
It’s the first digital download to grab the top spot in the chart’s 54-year history.
The collection includes U2, Jay-Z and Rihanna’s studio clarion call ‘Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)’ plus live telethon offerings from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Shakira, Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Dave Matthews & Neil Young.
