NEWS WRAP

* Universal Music has been the record company leading the way with new tracks taken to local radio for additions this morning. Topping that list is the Thin White Duke remix of the new Snow Patrol track 'Just Say Yes' (though at more than seven minutes in length, it's unlikely to get any radio love in that format.
* Also out to radio is the previously mentioned (in our last post) Short Stack single 'Sweet December', a new Wolfmother single 'White Feather', Mobin Master's cover of the Livin' Joy classic 'Don't Stop Movin'' and a new track from Busta Rhymes, 'World Go Round', featuring the vocals of Estelle.
* News out of the UK is that Island Records have delayed the release of the Sugababes' new album 'Sweet 7' until early next year. What that means for Australia is still to be decided - though the latest release schedule suggests it's still on track for a local release on November 27. (UPDATE: November 09 : The album has disappeared from the local schedule)
* Frontier Touring has this afternoon announced that the support acts for Daniel Merriweather's forthcoming Australian tour will be Phrase and Diafrix. Both will join Daniel as he hits Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney from November 29.
* It was removed from last week's release schedule and it's not back there this week either - Amerie's forthcoming album 'In Love & War'. The disc was originally slated for a November release - we'll keep our peepers open to see if it re-emerges.
* Rogue Traders frontman James Ash has revealed via his Twitter page that the band's yet-to-be-revealed new single, from the band's yet-to-be-revealed new album, the first with the band's yet-to-be-revealed new singer, will hit radio on November 23.
* And The Blackeyed Susans have announced a one-off concert in Melbourne just before Christmas. The 'Reveal Yourself Christmas Show' will feature plenty of festive favourites, as well as comedienne Judith Lucy as host and we've been told that Christmas pudding may indeed be served! Tickets for the December 18 gig at the Thornbury Theatre are on sale now.
