The party-loving pop star will start a ninth week at number one when the Billboard Hot 100 is officially released on Thursday (18Feb10), according to early estimates.

And that means the new Artists For Haiti single will debut at two on the new countdown.

The track was released as a digital download on Friday evening (12Feb10) after the new video accompanying the track debuted during the telecast of the opening night of the Winter Olympics.

The new We Are The World had sold over 267,000 downloads when Wenn wentto press.

The original tune, which was written by Richie and Michael Jackson and recorded by supergroup Usa for Africa, debuted at 21 on the Hot 100 in March 1985.
