Sony Music has announced the release of a compilation to support those affected by the ongoing bushfires in Australia.

All profits from Bushfire Aid: Artists For The Bushfire Appeal will be donated to the Salvation Army Bushfire Appeal.

Money raised will be used to help those affected by the disaster.

Artists on the album include international stars like Bruce Springsteen, Bill Withers and Beyoncé alongside Men At Work, Pete Murray and other Australian artists.

The compilation, which features 35 tracks over two CDs, will be released next week.
