<P> The 20th anniversary of "We Are the World" was celebrated in 2005 . Radio stations around the world paid homage to USA for Africa's creation by simultaneously broadcasting the charity song . In addition to the simulcast, the milestone was marked by the release of a two - disc DVD called We Are the World: The Story Behind the Song . Ken Kragen asserted that the reason behind the simulcast and DVD release was not for USA for Africa to praise themselves for doing a good job, but to "use it to do some more good (for the original charity). That's all we care about accomplishing ." Harry Belafonte also commented on the 20th anniversary of the song . The entertainer acknowledged that "We Are the World" had "stood the test of time"; anyone old enough to remember it can still at least hum along . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> <H3> Weekly charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (1985) </Th> <Th> Peak position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Australia (Kent Music Report) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Austria (Ö3 Austria Top 40) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Belgium (Ultratop 50 Flanders) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Canada Top Singles (RPM) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Canada Adult Contemporary (RPM) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Finland (Suomen virallinen lista) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> France (SNEP) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Germany (Official German Charts) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ireland (IRMA) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Italy (FIMI) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Netherlands (Dutch Top 40) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> New Zealand (Recorded Music NZ) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Norway (VG -
