Simon Cowell’s cover of REM’s ‘Everybody Hurts’ is looking likely to become the fastest selling single of the century.

Twenty-one music stars have added their vocals to the single, the proceeds of which will be donated to the victims of the recent Haiti earthquake.

Having sold more than 200,000 copies in just two days, It has already sold more than the 2008 X Factor charity single, ‘Hero’, which was the fastest selling charity single since 2000.

REM have agreed to waive any royalty payments and the UK government has pledged to donate the tax from all sales to a Haiti fund.

Vocalists on the track include Take That stars Robbie Williams, Gary Barlow and Mark Owen as well as X Factor stars Cheryl Cole, JLS, Leona Lewis, Joe McElderry and Alexandra Burke. Susan Boyle from Britain’s Got Talent, Rod Stewart, Kylie Minogue, Mariah Carey and Westlife are also singing on the track.

Mika, Michael Buble, Miley Cyrus, James Blunt, Jon Bon Jovi, James Morrison, Westlife’s Shane Filan and Mark Feehily complete the line-up.
