We started the show with Beyonce's "Single Ladies (put a ring on it)" tonight.

Track 2: Out of Control
Track 3: It Began in Afrika
Track 4: Hey Boy Hey Girl
You can hear the podcast of what Mike and Shane had to say (and what they put Jay and Chris through) here.
Next, we took a look at both the ARIA and AIR charts for the week.
A band that has charted significantly over the past 26 weeks, here in Australia, with two major single releases is MGMT. We thought we would give you a bit more of a listen and some background regarding their debut album, Oracular Spectacular.

Track 4: Kids
Finally tonight, four songs from the Australian recording of Wicked the Musical.
