MINI WRAP

* There's been a change of venue for the upcoming Creamfields music festival in Brisbane. Originally to be held at the city's Eagle Farm Racecourse, the event has now been shifted to Southern Cross Fields, opposite the airport. A venue is still to be locked in for the Perth date.
* Universal Music will release a brand new expanded edition of the classic 1972 Rolling Stones album 'Exile On Main Street' on Friday May 21. The new version will feature a second disc containing 10 previously unreleased songs.
* On the UK album chart, Lady Gaga has re-ascended to the throne with her album 'Fame Monster'. The singer's currently in the midst of the British leg of her 'Monster Ball' tour. Marina & The Diamonds have debuted at No.5 with 'The Family Jewels' and The Courteeners debut at No.6 with 'Falcon'.
* And on the singles chart, Jason Derulo's followed his dominance of the ARIA singles chart with a No.1 debut in the UK with new single 'In My Head'. One to watch Ellie Goulding debuts in the No.4 position with debut offering 'Starry Eyed', while a new line-up doesn't seem to have damaged Britain's love of the Sugababes. New single 'Wear My Kiss' has debuted at No.7.
* New tracks to radio this week include the follow-up to the monster global hit 'Fireflies' by US artist Owl City. 'Vanilla Twilight' is the second single to be lifted from Adam's recent album 'Ocean Eyes'.
* Also at radio this week are the new single for Craig David 'One More Lie (Standing In The Shadows)', Hot Chip's 'I Feel Better', La Roux's 'I'm Not Your Toy', and Rogue Traders' 'Would You Raise Your Hands'.
* And Michael Coppel has announced a two date Aussie tour for LA-based Matt Costa. He'll play the Mona Vale Hotel on March 27, followed by a night at Melbourne's Northcote Social Club on March 30. Tickets are on sale now.
