Simon Cowell is producing a charity single, a cover of REM's "Everybody Hurts," for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Artists include Robbie Williams (apparently with Take That), Kylie Minogue, Rod Stewart, Susan Boyle, Mariah Carey, Jon Bon Jovi, Mika, James Morrison, Leona Lewis, James Blunt and several others. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8480125.stmhttp://www.associatedcontent.com/articl ... ybody.html

One of the links mentions an actual CD single, so I will happily buy one.

A lot of people these days use that term for an album, even if it's a download only kind of album. I hope you're right and there actually is a physical product, but I wouldn't count on it.

Further to Walter's point, check out this stunningly well-written article I found on USA Today:
"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 says the compilation CD of performances from last week's charity telethon sold 171,000 units over the weekend. The CD features performances by Justin Timberlake, Wyclef Jean, Rihanna, Sheryl Crow and Madonna, among others.
More than 80 million people tuned in for Friday's telethon, which organizers say has raised at least $61 million."

A CD is not an album of material, it's a specific physical item, a compact disc. This kind of thing really gets me, like when people used to call CDs "tapes". I know it seems minor, but I wish they'd call it what it is, a "digital album" or an "album download".

Yeah, I would doubt this will get a physical release especially when the download sells so easily.
