Zara Larsson, PopMaster and the Love Song

Zara Larsson chooses her favourite songs from her life in the Tracks of My Years with music from Queen and 叠别测辞苍肠茅. Ken's also got another round of the PopMaster music quiz.

Zara Larsson chooses her favourite songs from her life in the Tracks of My Years with music from Queen and 叠别测辞苍肠茅. At the age of ten, Zara got her first break by winning Sweden鈥檚 Got Talent and she hoped to start her career there and then. However, it was a couple of years later at the age of thirteen when Zara achieved her dream of landing a record deal. Then aged fifteen Zara released her first song Uncover which reached number one in Sweden. Her last album and international breakthrough, So Good is the second most streamed album by a female artist ever on Spotify, at 2.65 billion streams and counting. Her biggest YouTube hit, the unmistakable ear worm Lush Life has over 620 million views. In 2017 she enjoyed a stream of sold-out European and South American live shows. She has performed for the Nobel Prize committee, Ellen Degeneres, Jimmy Fallon and picked up a couple of MTV EMA鈥檚. Zara is currently touring across Europe supporting Ed Sheeran on his latest stadium tour as well as performing at her own headline shows. Her latest single Don't Worry Bout Me is an attitude-heavy anthem from a young woman who is quickly becoming a global pop star. Mixing a love of dancehall grooves with ethereal, Scandinavian electronics, the track is in many ways a spiritual successor to her massive hit single Ruin My Life.

Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's love song. There's also the record and album of the week.
