Top Five SPA Confidential Stories People Thought Were Real
The most unbelievable music stories of 2013
As the debate rages about whether reality TV shows really are the heart of the Australian music industry – and whether it's cheaper to import roadies from Asia – on the latest SPA Confidential, we're taking a look at the articles which have caused the biggest stirs in 2013.
The weekly Friday afternoon column by our intrepid SPA Confidential reporter – whose identity is only known by the top brass of The Music and who is a complete secret to the wider industry – sheds light on the unbelievably important matters facing the industry.
By sifting through people's rubbish bins on collection day, hiding under the tables at restaurants where key executives dine and by hacking the phones of anyone and everyone, SPA Confidential can lay claim to breaking some of the year's biggest stories.
Here we rank the top five, along with key reactions.

“They are going to far now.”
