Simon Cowell’s all-star charity single in aid of Haiti has soared to number one this week, clocking the biggest first-week sales for a single since 2000!

Congrats to everyone involved and lets hope it’s raised a lot of money for Haiti.

Here it is! The official Hope for Haiti – Everybody Hurts video! Make sure you buy a copy now!

Joe will be on GMTV tomorrow morning talking about the Hope for Haiti charity single, which he is part of. No exact times so make sure you’re watching from 7am to catch Joe. If there’s any updates we’ll post it here first!

Hi Everybody,

Sorry it’s been a while.  It’s been a fun couple of weeks for me. I got to record my part on the Helping Haiti – Everybody hurts charity single.  I still can’t believe that I’m on the same record as people like Mariah, Rod Stewart and Leona, it’s such an honour!  I also got to see Westlife again which was nice. I really do hope though that it will help lots of people in Haiti.  Please please please buy a copy of the single when it comes out.  It’s for a great cause and we all need to help Haiti as much as we can.

Yesterday, we filmed my part of the video.  The director is amazing and I got to watch some of the footage that the other singers had shot before me – Cheryl, Kylie and Westlife – it looked fantastic.  Also, I got to meet Mika as I was leaving the studio – he was just arriving to do his bit!

I went to see Wicked yesterday at the Apollo Theatre.  I love that musical – it’s so clever.  And, I got to meet the cast after the show – they were lovely!

Right now, I’m sitting at the rehearsal studios for the X-Factor tour.  I’m just on a quick break and we’ve gone through my set for the first time.  I am so excited!  You guys are going to love it!  I meet up with the other contestants next week – can’t wait to catch up with everyone.

Not long until the Brits now…I’m still soooo excited that I’ve been nominated – I can’t believe it. Thank you for all the support and helping me get a nomination for the Brits. You can still VOTE NOW!

Okay, better get back to rehearsals now – Bye!

Remember to vote Joe for Best British Single over at the BRIT Awards website, or click here! Voting closes Sunday, so make sure you’ve voted!

Also, a small reminder that the Hope for Haiti charity single is released digitally on Sunday and physically on Monday. Please make sure you pick up a copy somehow – it’s for such a good cause.

Simon Cowell’s all-star charity single in the aid of Haiti relief will premiere tomorrow morning on breakfast radio. Tune into any after 8am to hear the single, which also features Joe on the track!

Joe sings the lines ‘Hold on, hold on….‘ in the first half of the song. If you miss the premiere, don’t worry! We’ll post a YouTube link so you can hear it again.

Remember that the single is out to buy on download Sunday 7th February, with the physical release following the day after Monday 8th February! All proceeds are split between charities funding Haiti relief efforts, so please make sure you legally purchase a copy.

The BBC reports that the song features Robbie Williams, Mariah Carey, Rod Stewart, Kylie Minogue, Miley Cyrus, Michael Buble, Jon Bon Jovi, Take That, Mika, James Blunt, James Morrison, Susan Boyle, Westlife, Cheryl Cole and boy band JLS. “X Factor” winners Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry also guest on the track, recorded this week and organized by Syco label boss Cowell.

It is set for digital release Feb. 7 and CD release the day after. Proceeds will go to the Sun newspaper’s Helping Haiti fund and the Disasters Emergency Committee.

I’d just like to apologise for the downtime lately. The server that hosts this website was experiencing problems and as a result, every website, not just this one, on their server was unaccessable for a few hours. I think it has been fixed now and the forum should be back soon.

Thanks for sticking with us!
