The X Factor Final 12 will release a cover of Michael Jackson’s You are not alone for sick children. The money will go to Great Ormond Street Hospital. Although some acts have gone out already they will still be in it. The song will be performed on the results show on Sunday 15th November and is released the next day. The song went to number one in 1995 and will hopefully get number one again.
Last years charity single was a cover of Mariah Carey’s Hero raised more than one million pounds for Help for Heroes and we hope it will do just as well this year. Louis Walsh said “I implore everyone to go out and buy it to help such a worthy cause.”
Above is a picture of them recording the single at Abbey Road Studios which was established in 1931 by the record company EMI. Artists such as Oasis, XTC and Green Day have recorded there but not just groups. Solo artists that have recorded there include Cliff Richard, Gnarls Barkley and Colbie Caillat and now X Factor contestants.
Heroes was also the fastest selling charity record in a decade so let’s see if this year we can break anymore records and by that I don’t mean the CDs with the song on. Keep checking back for more X Factor News and updates on the charity single!
