LONDON - Simon Cowell’s Helping Haiti song has become the fastest-selling charity single this century.

The Official Charts Company said the record has topped the 200,000 sales mark in just two days.

The star-studded cover of Everybody Hurts is also on course to have one of the biggest first week sales of any single since 2000.

All proceeds will go to helping the victims of the Haiti earthquake, reports the Sun.

Stars including Robbie Williams, Cheryl Cole and Susan Boyle feature on the song.

Half the proceeds will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee and half to The Sun’s Helping Haiti Appeal. (ANI)
