NEW YORK — The all-star “Hope for Haiti Now” album has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the first digital-only album to hit the top spot.
Nielsen SoundScan said Wednesday that the compilation album of performances from last week’s charity telethon sold 171,000 units over the weekend. The album features performances by U2, Beyonce and Madonna, among others.
More than 80 million people tuned in for Friday’s telethon, which organizers have said raised $66 million. The Associated Press
