Tracks by Foo Fighters, Eminem, Lady Gaga on 'Songs for Japan'

(All rights reserved)

A 38-track album dubbed Songs for Japan was released on Friday, March 25, featuring hit tunes by a star-studded ensemble including Adele, Foo Fighters, Eminem, Lady Gaga, U2, and others.

Labels Sony, EMI, Universal, and Warner have joined forces to release the charity album, with proceeds going to the Japanese Red Cross Society to raise money for the victims of the earthquakes and tsunami.

You can download the album now via iTunes for $9.99 (about €7). A physical release is set for April 4. The album is currently number one on the iTunes album chart in the US and number two in the UK, just below Adele's 21.

All in all, 38 artists lent songs to the album, including legends Bob Dylan, Madonna, and Bruce Springsteen. All songs on the album were Top 40 hits in the US, and all acts on the album (and their labels) have waived royalties to insure the Japanese Red Cross Society receives as much support as possible.

On Sunday, March 27, Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Sonic Youth, Cibo Matto, and others performed a benefit concert for Japan in New York City. British rock stars Richard Ashcroft, Paul Weller and Liam Gallagher of Oasis fame will also play a charity gig on April 3 in London to raise funds for the cause.
