The 2008 Stand Up to Cancer initiative has raised more than $100 million to fight breast cancer. Joining the cause is Tony Award-winning actress Idina Menzel, who launched her pop career with top 20 AC song "Brave" and top five club hit "Gorgeous." "Hope," recently recorded at Abbey Road Studios, is a devastatingly beautiful story song about "a bird with no wings, certain that it can fly" and beating the odds: "Only hope can light the way, can heal the heart, can keep the clouds from hiding the moon and the stars." Quiet piano-driven production allows Menzel's stunningly emotional performance to drive the message home—just try and listen without blurring with a tear or two. iTunes sales go directly to Stand Up. —Chuck Taylor
