Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid 30 was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, November 29, 2014 spending 1 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. This is a charity single organized by Bob Geldof, who was the lead singer of The Boomtown Rats. He got the idea after watching a BBC documentary on famine in Ethiopia. Geldof wrote the lyrics and Midge Ure from the band Ultravox wrote the music and produced the track, which was no easy task since so many voices were involved. Most of this song was recorded and mixed over a 24-hour period on Sunday, November 25, 1984, at Sarm West Studios in London. Sting and Simon LeBon had recorded their parts ahead of time, but everyone else came that day. In the UK, this became the best-selling single of all-time, selling over 3.8 million.
