January 27, 2010 12:01:00 AM CST | by Slava Kuperstein
Hope For Haiti Now, the much-publicized digital album released to raise money for the Hope for Haiti Now charities, is making history on the charts.
According to Billboard, the album is projected to sell nearly 150,000 copies in its first week, which would make it the first digital-only album in history to debut at the top of the charts.
Featured on the album is Jay-Z's high-profile collaboration with Bono of U2, Rihanna and The Edge, "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)," which was produced by Swizz Beatz.
According to MTV, the track is the No. 1 iTunes download in 12 countries.
The album itself was released following Friday's (Jan 22) Hope for Haiti Now telethon, which has, to date, raised over $61 million in relief for Haiti.
