* NZ musicians have taken the top spots on both the annual NZ Top 50 Album and Single charts for the first time in the chart's history. Released this week by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ), the charts saw hip hop artist Scribe take getting the most combined sales and radio play for his 'double A-side' 'Stand Up/Not Many', and Bic Runga topping the album charts with her excellent second album Beautiful Collision.

* PanAm and Fur Patrol head out on a North Island tour this week, kicking off on January 7 with a couple of gigs in sunny Napier, before working their way around the central and northern parts of the island, culminating with a gig in Whangerei on Sat 17th Jan. PanAm's debut album was recently voted #8 in the New Zealand Herald's 30 best international albums of the year.

* Tonjip are heading South to play a few shows in and around Sydney this coming weekend. They are playing with Blind.
