Any suggestions for where to buy backtracks?

Are there any companies that sell (legal) backtracks to popular songs? The closest I can think of is karaoke but basically what’s needed are just the instrumentals, not the lyrics and all.

I’m asking for a friend who specifically wants the backtrack to the song “You’re Here” by Christian singer Francesca Battistelli. Her daughter wants to sing it at a church function; the sheet music would work as well but she’d rather have a backtrack she can plop into the stereo system. (I don’t think the church has a karaoke machine, but could be wrong.)

Thanks for any suggestions or info.

Can’t most normal CD players play karaoke CDs just like a normal CD? I know that the little CD player I use for my Parks and Recs events job can do it, and it’s literally just the cheapest player off the shelf. If she can find a karaoke CD of the song, it should work.

The iTunes store has backing tracks. I’ve never paid much attention to them, but you can find songs that include only the instruments and no (or only backing) vocals.
