The entire ‘world’ is no match for Ke$ha.

Despite a big, shiny premiere during the winter Olympics, the charity single, and remake of a classic, “We Are The World 25 For Haiti,” comes in at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart after selling 267,000 digital downloads behind Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK,” which tops the chart for its ninth straight week.

Although “We Are The World 25,” which features vocals from Justin Bieber, Miley Cyus, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Wyclef Jean, and dozens of other stars, failed to debut at No. 1, it should be noted that the hefty sales tally was accumulated over two sales days. (The single was made available Friday, February 12; the sales chart closes at the end of the on Sunday.)
