For those of you who weren’t tuning into the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver this weekend, you missed the wildly hyped debut of “We Are The World 25 for Haiti.” This 25th anniversary recording featured more than 80 of today’s biggest stars, including musicians and actors. Showcasing the vocals of everyone from Miley Cyrus and Tony Bennett to Mary J. Blige and Lil Wayne; the result is astounding.
Another notable recent release was the “AT&T Team USA Soundtrack” album, created to benefit Team USA and the U.S. Olympic Committee. Highlighting new songs by popular artists like Rascal Flatts, Sugarland and The All-American Rejects, these songs are meant to inspire both American athletes and eager fans watching from home.
Still looking for more ways to give back? Yet another all-star song was released last week to aid relief efforts in Haiti. A remake of “Everybody Hurts,” originally by R.E.M, was organized by Simon Cowell and also features Mariah Carey, Coldplay, Leona Lewis, Michael Bublé and many more. One hundred percent of proceeds go directly to Haiti.
