" Not only has Taylor Swift topped Billboard charts with her latest album Red but the 23-year-old music star is now sitting at No. 1 on this year&amp;#039;s charity chart as well. Swift was named the top &amp;quot;celeb gone good&amp;quot; for 2012 on DoSomething.org&amp;#039;s list of this year&amp;#039;s 20 most charitable stars. As the largest organization for teens and social cause, DoSomething.org encourages young people to create their own vision for making a difference in the community, and according to their website, Swift took the top spot for her various charitable deeds. Some of her most notable efforts included her $4 million donation (the largest to date) to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, TN and &amp;quot;her tremendous work&amp;quot; with young people battling cancer. Swift, who jumped from her 2011 spot at No. 20 straight to the top, was also honored as the youngest person to ever receive the Ripple of Hope Award from the Robert F. Kennedy Center, which typically pays tribute to leaders in the community who &amp;quot;demonstrate commitment to social change.&amp;quot; Second on the list was singer Miley Cyrus, who was recognized for her efforts with Saving Spot! Rescue, Save the Music Foundation, the Starkey Hearing Foundation and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Actor Channing Tatum also neared the top for his donations to the Rainforest Foundation, as did singer Lady Gaga for starting her Born This Way Foundation. Singer Justin Bieber rounded out the top five for his work with Believe Charity Drive and Pencils of Promise. Congrats to Taylor and the other charitable celebs! Keep up the good work!
