charity single
Donation-driving recording
A charity single is a song released specifically to raise money for a charitable cause, with proceeds from sales going to relief efforts, humanitarian organizations, or social campaigns.
The format gained prominence with collaborative recordings featuring multiple famous artists: Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" raised millions for Ethiopian famine relief.
Charity singles often respond to disasters or crises and typically receive heavy radio play during their campaign period.
