Posted February 17, 201015 yr 'We Are The World' Returns to the Upper Reaches of the Hot 100 February 17, 2010 10:32 EST Nearly 25 years after hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, charity single "We Are the World" makes its way back to chart, debuting at No. 2, thanks to the all-star collective Artists for Haiti. "World" trails Ke$ha's "TiK ToK,' which holds at No. 1 for a ninth straight week. Over 80 artists, ranking from today's young hitmakers (Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus) to legendary vocalists (Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand) gathered in Los Angeles to re-record the 80s classic on February 1st, a day after the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. The video for "We Are the World 25: For Haiti" premiered during the first two days of the XXI Winter Olympics on NBC (Friday & Saturday, Feb. 12 & 13) with the title hitting digital retailers on Friday evening. With just over two days of sales, "World" moves 267,000 downloads and enters the Digital Songs chart at No. 1, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The original "World," by USA for Africa debuted at No. 21 on the Hot 100 in the issue dated March 23, 1985 and rose to No. 1 three weeks later, where it held for four successive weeks. Released six years before the advent of Nielsen SoundScan piece-count sales data, USA for Africa's version was certified for sales of 4 million copies (4x Platinum) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) within a month of its release. http://www.billboard.com/#/news/we-are-the...004068419.story

February 17, 201015 yr Eugh! The worst the top two EVER in the history of the Billboard. Tik Tok is awful and We Are The World is a autotune travesty. Edited February 17, 201015 yr by Tacticz
February 17, 201015 yr Oh :l. Well, Ke$ha held on to another week because Haiti Song had less days sales? 'Tik Tok' annoys me now. The amount of songs that have hogged #1 on US Charts recently :drama:
February 17, 201015 yr THANK YOU KESHA FOR STOPPING THAT MONSTROSITY FROM HITTING NUMBER ONE. Much love to you.
February 18, 201015 yr huge drop for Pink but thats expected with no radio support and the fact downloads have fallen since the performance, its still done amazing to even have reached the top 20!
February 18, 201015 yr Great performance by the Script and Sade.... hopefully Adam Lambert will be top 25 next week.... Edited February 18, 201015 yr by Broken Heels
