'Hope For Haiti Now' Telethon Tally Tops $57 Million; Digital Album No. 2 on Amazon

Friday night's star-studded "Hope For Haiti Now" telethon -- simulcast on several network and cable television stations across the globe -- has, thus far, generated more than $57 million to help bring relief to Haitians after the massive 7.0 earthquake hit the capital of Port-au-Prince on Jan. 12. Donations have poured in via phone, text messages, online and post.

Thanks to the wonders of technology, the "Hope for Haiti Now" global telethon is already available as an extraordinary digital album -- including fantastic performances by Alicia Keys, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Shakira, The Roots, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera, Sting, Beyoncé, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Kid Rock, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Charlie Sexton, Jennifer Hudson, Emeline Michel, Bono, The Edge, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Dave Matthews, Neil Young, and Wyclef Jean. As of this morning, the MP3 album ranked No. 2 on Amazon.

Via digital video, you can also own the entire two-hour Hope for Haiti Now global telethon, hosted by George Clooney, CNN's Anderson Cooper, and Wyclef Jean -- including all of the musical performances.

All proceeds from album and video sales will go to American Red Cross, Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, Oxfam America, Partners in Health, UNICEF, United Nations World Food Programme, and Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti Foundation.
