About

From One Direction to the Spice Girls, Sam Smith to Gareth Gates, some of the BIGGEST names in music have released songs in aid of this wonderful charity. In 2002, Comic Relief and BBC Sport teamed up to create Sport Relief, a new initiative, aiming to unite the sporting community and culminate in a night of sport, entertainment and fundraising on BBC One. Sport Relief was a biennial charity event, and the campaign deliberately alternated years with Red Nose Day, Comic Relief's flagship event. Red Nose Day occurs in odd-numbered years, and Sport Relief in even-numbered years. Just outside? Westlife again, who've sold 534,000 copies of You Raise Me Up. You have to go quite far down the list to find a song by a band who doesn't feature in the Top 10 – that honour goes to the Vamps, at 27 with Can We Dance (342,000) Watch Olivia Rodrigo Sing 'Deja Vu' and 'Uptown Girl' with Billy Joel".
