* Central Station Records will next weekend release the fifth in the ATB ‘In The Mix’ series. The new three disc set features 42 tracks from the likes of Ferry Corsten, Chicane, Moby and Jam & Spoon. It’s in the shops on May 14.
* Guy Sebastian’s single ‘Like It Like That’ has this week achieved an impressive triple platinum accreditation, following sales of more than 210,000 copies. It was the first single from the album of the same name.
* Regina Spektor popped into the Triple J studios while she was on tour last week and recorded a cover version of Radiohead’s ‘No Surprises’ as part of the station’s ‘Like A Version’ segment. The track, 100% of proceeds of which go directly to the Doctors Without Borders’ Emergency Relief Fund, is already on sale on iTunes. Click HERE to show your support.
* Speaking of iTunes, it hasn’t taken long for Eminem’s pre-release track ‘Not Afraid’ to start impacting on the local chart – it’s raced into the top five after just over one day on sale. No doubt it’ll show up on next week’s ARIA singles chart.
* Sydney outfit Boy & Bear have announced a national tour in support of their self-titled EP, due in the stores tomorrow. They’ll play Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney from June 04 with full details available on their OFFICIAL MYSPACE.

A fantastic achievement for Guy. Thanks for putting it in your newswrap auspOp. Like It Like That is the first Aussie artist single to go more than double platinum since the end of 2004. And in this overseas artist driven singles market even double platinum is hard for Aussie songs to achieve these days. There have only been 7 aussie songs to manage 2x platinum in the last 6 years. Triple platinum is an awesome achievement.
