* Fresh from the top ten success of her debut Aussie single ‘3 Words’, Universal Music is keeping the Cheryl Cole ball rolling in Australia this week with the official servicing of her next single ‘Fight For This Love’.
* Also at radio this week are P.Diddy’s new single ‘Hello Good Morning’, Chemical Brothers’ newie ‘Escape Velocity’, Artisan Guns’ ‘Into The Cold’ and a re-service of Ellie Goulding’s rather poptastic ‘Starry Eyed’.
* EMI has announced this morning that Something For Kate frontman Paul Dempsey has a hit solo album on his hands. ‘Everything Is True’ has now been classified gold, for sales of more than 35,000 copies. He’s heading to London next month (volcanic ash clouds willing), before heading to the US in June.
* Michael Coppel has this morning announced a second Melbourne show for Rickie Lee Jones. The US singer-songwriter will play another show at the city’s Forum Theatre on June 04, with tickets on sale now.
* Fresh from their No.3 album debut this week, the gents from Gyroscope have announced a national tour. They’ll play seven dates, kicking off out west in Bunbury on June 05 before visiting Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Sydney. Full details on the band’s OFFICIAL MYSPACE.
* A few new big name album releases have appeared on the Universal Music release schedule this week – and most of them occupying the June 11 slot. Jewel’s new album ‘Sweet And Wild’, Kevin Rudolf’s ‘To The Sky’, Game’s ‘The Red Album’ and a new LP from N.E.R.D. called ‘Nothing’.
* On the UK charts, Usher has himself a No.1 hit with new single ‘OMG’. The track knocked Scouting For Girls off the top spot this week, with Professor Green ft. Ed Drewett coming in at No.3 with ‘I Need You Tonight’. Kelis’s ‘Acapella’ debuted at No.5, with Selena Gomez also debuting in the top ten – at No.7.
* And on the UK albums chart, Lady Gaga’s gone from No.1, displaced to No.3 by Plan B (No.1) and Scouting For Girls (No.2).
MGMT’s ‘Congratulations’ debuts in the No.4 spot, while Joshua Radin comes in at No.9 with ‘Simple Times’.

Hey Brad,
Well ‘Fight For This Love’ hasn’t yet been released in Australia, and given it has a bloody strong video to go with it, they’re hoping it does the trick.
No doubt ‘Parachute’ will be the third local single.

Gorgeous – I’m fully behind Fight For This Love – GORGEOSU!
Brad says
Why is “Fight For This Love” being serviced next? They are going backwards in singles chronology, as “3 Words” is followed by “Parachute”, the new single.
Alana says
Great news hearing that FFTL is being serviced to radio. Was getting a worried with the rumour going around that Parachute was tipped to be the next single, so a big sigh of relief.
MusicMan says
Can’t wait for a new Jewel album!
