• EMI has reserviced the Roll Deep single 'Green Light' and Universal has sampled Armand Van Helden's newie 'Brrrat' and The Audreys' 'Trouble Somehow'.
• Perth outfit Birds Of Tokyo are undoubtedly doing something right - not only did their eponymous new LP debut at No.2 on the ARIA albums chart early last month, but tickets to their forthcoming Adelaide and Perth shows have completely sold out. Tickets for their gigs in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Hobart are selling fast.
• The line-up of guest speakers who'll appear at the Australian International Music Show, set down for October 02 and 03 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, has grown again. Respected industry identity Michael Gudinski will be present, along with Dave Matthews, Jeff Martin from The Tea Party and renowned local music journalist Christie Eleizer.

• Dainty Consolidated Entertainment has announced a second Sydney show for Welsh songstress Katherine Jenkins (left). Tickets for the show, to be held at the State Theatre on Sunday October 24, will go on sale tomorrow.

• We thought it was all over red rover for Brisbane band Avalon Drive, which disbanded in November 2008 citing "irreconcilable differences". But they've announced a very special one-off comeback show in Brisbane on Saturday February 05. Tickets for the gig are on sale now from The HiFi.
• In the UK, last year's X Factor runner-up Olly Murs has debuted at No.1 on the British singles chart with his debut offering 'Please Don't Let Me Go'. The single held off Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream', which debuted at No.2. Pepper & Piano was the week's other top ten debut - at No.7, while the Same Difference single debuted at a disastrous No.100 - precisely what happens when idiotic record company boffins take a song to radio and then make fans wait eight weeks before releasing the song digitally.
• And on the UK albums chart, Katy Perry debuts in the No.1 position with 'Teenage Dream', making her No.1 in the US, the UK and here in Australia. Biffy Clyro surges, while there are debuts at Nos.6 and 7 for The Pretty Reckless and Disturbed respectively.
