Hope for Haiti Now is a live album by various artists to benefit Hope for Haiti Now's campaign to alleviate the 2010 Haiti earthquake. All benefits from the album sales go to Haiti relief organizations, including the Red Cross and Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti foundation. Hope for Haiti Now features 19 live performances from the television broadcast Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief as well as the studio version of "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)", an original track performed by Jay-Z, Bono, The Edge and Rihanna during the telethon.[1]

The digital-only album was made available for pre-order through iTunes on 22 January 2010. It set a record as the biggest one-day album pre-order in iTunes history.[2] The album sold 171,000 copies in its first weekend, and in 2 days alone became the first digital-only album to top the Billboard 200 album chart.[3]

The album has since also become available at Amazon.com and Rhapsody.
