“Hope For Haiti Now” Album To Top Billboard Album Chart

Hope For Haiti Now - amazon.com

Now here’s one album we’re sure Susan Boyle won’t mind taking a backseat to.

The “Hope For Haiti Now” benefit album, which features live recordings from the global telethon of the same name, will debut atop the Billboard 200 album chart, Billboard.com reports.

The digital-only set sold a whopping 150,000-plus downloads since becoming available Friday evening to Sunday evening when the chart numbers wrapped.

The album features music from Beyonce and Chris Martin, Christina Aguilera, Sting, Madonna, Jennifer Hudson, and a brand new song from Jay-Z, Bono, The Edge, and Rihanna called “Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour).”

Boyle, who is still selling strongly since the holiday shopping season ended, will come in at No. 2 with an estimated 80,000 copies of her album, I Dreamed A Dream, sold last week.
