The star-studded Hope For Haiti charity album has made history by debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart: the first all digital-exclusive album to do so in the chart’s 54-year history. Nielsen SoundScan reported the album sold 171,000 units in a mere two days. The album is a compilation of live material from artists such as Alicia Keys, U2, Jay-Z and others from last week’s Hope for Haiti Now telethon, which was organized by George Clooney, pictured, and raised upwards of $61 million dollars for the people of Haiti. –JOE GALBO
