The song, Everybody Hurts, went on sale in shops earlier this week. A total of 21 stars appear on the single, including Cheryl Cole, members of Westlife, Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis, Take That, JLS and Mika.

REM, the band who originally recorded the song, won’t receive any royalty payments for the single, so more money will go to charity. The two charities which will receive money from the sales of the single are the Disasters Emergency Committee and The Sun newspaper’s Helping Haiti campaign.

More than 200,000 people are believed to have been killed by the earthquake which struck Haiti a month ago. Hundreds of thousands more have been left injured and homeless.

Financial leaders of the richest countries in the world have said they will write off the debts that Haiti owes them so that the country can spend its money on rebuilding and rehoming its people.
