Mariah Carey Connection

Simon Cowell’s Haiti song featuring Leona Lewis and Mariah Carey, 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.

The proceeds will be split between the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) and The Sun’s Helping Haiti campaign.
