Not that we're knocking those charity gigs and releases of course
- and there's plenty of the latter around at the moment. In fact three of the current top five singles are donating their profits to charity.
Although slipping to number two this week, Band Aid 20 continues to sell well despite the festive period being over. Ronan Keating's new cover of Yusuf Islam's 'Father & Son' also stays in the top five this week, charting at number four - he too is donating his profits to Band Aid, of course.
And as X Factor winner Steve Brookstein slid up the chart to take the number one slot on Sunday with his cover of 'Against All
Odds', Simon Cowell announced all the money BMG and Brookstein make on the single will be donated to the Indian Ocean Tsunami relief effort. And good for them.
