Has James Reyne re-released it or is it just a co-incidence?
Think this may have something to do with the copyright issues around playing music in commercial businesses. It's a bit of a legal minefield if you try to do it on your own, so there's an organisation called OneMusic Australia that specialises in getting the licenses and compiling playlists for businesses to use in their venues to make it easier for them to just have music playing in their place of business.

I wouldn't be surprised if all those venues you visited were using the same playlist from OneMusic Australia.
