Jay-Z and U2 will perform a song at a London venue for the special, which will be available for purchase on iTunes soon, reports MTV.  The event will be co-hosted by George Clooney, Anderson Cooper and Wyclef Jean.

Expect performances from Dave Matthews Band, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Sting, Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige.  Springsteen, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Shakira and Rihanna will also be participating in the event.  MTV reports that more than 100 stars have signed on to the special.

All of the proceeds raised will go towards Oxfam America, Partners in Health, Red Cross, UNICEF and Wycelf’s Yele Haiti Foundation.

The special sounds like a great effort by the celebrity community, and hopefully it will raise an awesome amount of money to help those suffering in Haiti.  Remember, it airs tomorrow night at 8pm ET/PT and you should be able to catch it on several networks.

Not only are music fans supporting the recent European launch of Spotify, the highly sought-after music streaming service, artists are eager to see the service’s success, as well.

Alicia Keys launched her fourth studio album, “The Element of Freedom,” on Monday, December 7th, exclusively available to Spotify users. The album will officially release in Europe a week later, on December 14th, through RCA Records. It will be available the next day for U.S. fans, via MBK Entertainment/J Records.

The twelve-time Grammy Award winner also compiled two playlists for the Spotify community. The first, a compilation of her favorite songs, and the second, a complete collection of her previous releases.

Spotify is also collaborating with Keys to give away tickets to various destinations during her 2010 world tour, including London, France, Spain, and Finland.

As the music industry continues to transform, artists and industry professionals alike can support Spotify’s mission to deliver highly demanded music to fans while providing a revenue source for musicians.
