Help!: A Day in the Life, released in 2005, brought together many contemporary artists from Britain and Canada. It was produced by War Child UK in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original Help album, and aimed to raise money to fund the charity's efforts in war-torn countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina. The name is a conglomeration of the titles of two Beatles songs, "Help!" and "A Day in the Life" (from the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band).

  • Help!: A Day in the Life, released in 2005, brought together many contemporary artists from Britain and Canada. It was produced by War Child UK in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original Help album, and aimed to raise money to fund the charity's efforts in war-torn countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina. The name is a conglomeration of the titles of two Beatles songs, "Help!" and "A Day in the Life" (from the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band). On Wednesday, September 14, 2005, five days after its release it was reported in The Guardian to have broken the record for the fastest selling download album ever. Other War Child albums include The Help Album (1995), 1 Love (2002) and War Child Presents Heroes (2009). Whereas the first album had broken records in 1995 by being recorded on Monday September 4 and then released on Saturday September 9, this time around the album was recorded and made available for purchase via the War Child Music website within thirty hours. Recording began at 12pm BST on Thursday September 8, and was made available for purchase at around 18:10 on Friday September 9. Notable contributions to the album included tracks by Radiohead and Manic Street Preachers, both of whom had contributed tracks to the original 1995 album. Also of note was a cover of Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by War Child patrons Keane, a song from Gorillaz called "Hong Kong" which was chosen to be played live various times by the band, a last-minute contribution from Coldplay, and a song by Emmanuel Jal, who was involved in the Sudan conflict as a child. War Child Canada released a Canadian version of Help!: A Day in the Life in 2006. Contributions for the Canadian version included songs by Sam Roberts, The Dears, and Buck 65. A cover of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice it's Alright" by Emily Haines and James Shaw of Toronto's Metric was also included on the album. The first single off the album was "Lebo's River", a song by Raine Maida, who helped produce the album, and Chantal Kreviazuk, his wife. The chorus was written by Lebo Kgasapane, an 18-year-old South African singer-songwriter who died of AIDS. The track features vocals by Lebo, as well as by Archie Khambula, a good friend of Lebo's. The album cover was designed by John Squire.
  • Help: A Day in the Life on hyväntekeväisyysalbumi, joka julkaistiin vuonna 2005. Siinä on mukana monia eri artisteja Britanniasta ja Kanadasta. Levyn tuotti hyväntekeväisyysjärjestö War Child, ja se juhlistaa alkuperäisen sotalapsi-hyväntekeväisyysalbumin, Help albumin, 10-vuotispäivää. Sen tuotto lahjoitettiin sodan hajottamiin maihin, kuten Bosnia ja Hertsegovinaan. Albumin nimi tulee kahdesta eri The Beatlesin kappaleesta, "Help!" (on Help!-albumilla ja -elokuvassa) ja "A Day in the Life". Viisi päivää julkaisunsa jälkeen The Guardian raportoi sen olevan nopeimmin myyty albumi Internetissä. Albumi julkaistiin Kanadassa vuonna 2006, ja sen versio on hieman erilainen kuin brittiläinen. Albumilta julkaistiin single "Lebo's River" ja sen kannen suunnitteli John Squire.
