INXS Kick Another Goal With ‘The Very Best’

Editor Katie Watkin's -19/04/22

Australian alternative rock band’s INXS kick another chart milestone with The Very Best..

According to the latest ARIA Albums Chart, the best-of enters it's 375 week in the Top 50, and a whopping 500 non-consecutive weeks in the Top 100. The 20-song set lifts 60-49, on the national survey for the week of April 4, 2022,.

INXS 500-week feat “is an absolutely phenomenal achievement, even if you happen to be one of the greatest and most iconic bands Australia has ever seen,” comments Annabelle Herd, CEO of ARIA, in a statement.

“500 weeks is an incredible honor and just shows the appreciation of such an incredible album,” adds Andrew Daw, executive VP, international marketing at UMe, Universal Music Group’s global catalog company.

The presence of the band’s late manager Chris Murphy “is always felt on all the bands projects, and we are proud to passionately continue his work,” he continues.

Released 11 years ago, the hits collection features such classics as “Never Tear Us Apart,” “Original Sin” and “What You Need.” Along the way, the collection ruled the national tally for seven weeks, came in at No. 1 on ARIA’s End Of Decade Australian Albums Chart and, in November 2020, was awarded ARIA “Diamond” status, for combined sales in-excess of 500,000 in Australia.

With the latest milestone in the books, Herd thanks the band for “their enormous contribution to the Australian recording industry.”

INXS have also released an immersive new mix of their album ‘Kick’, which turns 35 this year – watch band members Tim Farriss and Kirk Pengilly plus engineer Giles Martin talk who recently spoke NME about the new version.

Released on April 4 on Apple Music and Itunes, the latest version of ‘Kick’ was mixed by Giles Martin in Dolby ATMOS.

Martin, the son of influential Beatles producer George Martin, has also mixed the Fab Four and Rolling Stones in the spatial audio format.

It’s also not this first time working on a fresh mix of ‘Kick’, remixing the album in 2017 for a cinematic experience to mark the album’s 30th anniversary.

Matt Goss Beautiful Unknown London Show Fails To Sell Out

Matt Goss Beautiful Unknown London Show Fails To Sell Out Editor Katie Watkin's 24/4/22 Matt Goss once again failed to generate any interest from fans for his one show London Palladium performance. Matt announced on social media, that he would be performing at the London Palladium on the 23rd of April. Ticket sales have been so low the singer had to reduce ticket prices in the attempt to fill the 2000 space capacity theater, with online giant Ticketmaster emailing fans and providing notifications about new seat allocation nearer to the stage. This practice is normally done when a venue struggles to sell tickets. With Matt so desperate to try and fill the Palladium, he begged fans to buy up to 6 tickets each and gift them to family members and strangers. His management team also took to social media begging fans to buy, with one fan Dee Murphy posting buy tickets it's less than a pedicure. Tickets last week continued to struggle with some fans once again purchasi...

Editor Katie Watkins 11-11-2021 Rob Ferguson and Michael Licata who both manage 80's Pop icon and Bros frontman Matt Goss have both been forced to give an apology for the disgusting abusive and vile behavior. The action of Michael Licata and Rob Ferguson (Lit Management / Transcend Music) both asked members of several Facebook groups to share their vile posts, which escalated to a vicious assault on a male fan reputation and threats to his life.

The male fan graciously accepted the pathetic apology, which when read was more about Rob and Michael than a sincere apology. The fan told us that the online trolling and the horrendous behavior by some middle-aged woman who posted vile comments on Facebook w...
