Under the guidance of X Factor supremo Simon Cowell, some 21 acts united to record the single, including Leona Lewis, Susan Boyle and Kylie Minogue.
The moving ballad goes on sale in the shops on Monday with those behind it hoping it will top the charts and provide much needed funds in the process.
Originally a hit in 1993, the song has been reworked with vocalists including X Factor winner Joe McElderry, Rod Stewart and JLS. The recording also reunites Robbie Williams with his former Take That bandmates Gary Barlow and Mark Owen.
REM are waiving royalty rights to the charity track, while the Government has said that there will be no VAT cut. Proceeds will be split between the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) and The Sun’s Helping Haiti campaign.
