Oooooh supersensual indeed! We caught up with Sound Museum favourite, the beautiful and multi-talented Natalie Bassingthwaighte.

2010 looks to be another big year for the Bass with a swag of different projects under her belt. She is currently hosting the third season of So You Think You Can Dance, will star in the new Underbelly series The Golden Mile, and has just released a brand new single titled "Love Like This".

The track is the fifth single from her #1 album 1000 Stars and is the official anthem for the Wear It With Pride. The campaign aims to spread awareness about the recent 85 law reforms favoring same sex couples. For more information, head to the Wear It With Pride official website.



The single is available at digital retailers only. A 6 track EP for only $2.49 - not only is it amazing value, but all proceeds go towards LGBT causes. So what are you waiting for? Click here to purchase the EP off iTunes now.


We also went through the Top 20 Worst Pop Stars of All Time, according to Virgin Media. And who makes the top of the list? Poor Peter Andre! Nice abs...shame about the music.

On tonight's show we discussed the music industry's contribution to the relief effort for the disastrous Haiti earthquakes, which have claimed the lives of up to 200,000 people.

The Hope For Haiti Now telephon which took place on January 22 featured performances from the biggest names in music including Madonna, Coldplay, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Bono, Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, Jay Z, Bruce Springsteen, Mary J. Blige, Justin Timberlake, Neil Young, Sheryl Crow, amongst others. Some of the biggest names in Hollywood took to the phones for donations. The telephon drew in 83 million viewerss in the US, and has to date raised $61 million. In Australia, the telephon was broadcast on free-to-air television on the Network Ten.

In the UK, industry mogul Simon Cowell is quickly putting together a charity single. It will feature vocals from some of the UK's biggest names including our very own Kylie and Susan Boyle. The track will be a cover of the REM classic "Everybody Hurts".

There are many other examples of artists auctioning items, putting on charity concerts, or donating portions of ticket sales from their concert tours to the relief. In a time of immense devastation and loss, music has a way of bringing out the best in people. Madonna was right, music really does make the people come together!
