To support the Hispanic Federation’s UNIDOS Disaster Relief Fund, Lin-Manuel Miranda and a collective of artists (identified as “Artists For Puerto Rico”) joined forces for “Almost Like Praying.”<\/p>\n

The song debuted on the US iTunes store at 12:01AM ET Friday.<\/p>\n

By later Friday morning, it was up to #1 on the all-genre sales chart.<\/p>\n

It holds that position as of press time at 10:05AM ET.<\/p>\n

To get to #1, it had to overtake another benefit single — Maren Morris’ “Dear Hate (featuring Vince Gill).” That song, which is benefiting the Music City Cares Fund, is now #2 on the chart.<\/p>\n

Vocalists on “Almost Like Praying” include Miranda, Marc Anthony, Rub\u00e9n Blades, Pedro Cap\u00f3, Dessa, Gloria Estefan, Fat Joe, Luis Fonsi, Alex Lacamoire, John Leguizamo, Jennifer Lopez, Rita Moreno, Ednita Nazario, Joell Ortiz, Anthony Ramos, Gina Rodriguez, Gilberto Santa Rosa, PJ Sin Suela, Tommy Torres, Ana Villafa\u00f1e and Camila Cabello.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The benefit single, which features a collective of “Artists For Puerto Rico,” takes #1 on
