The Big All Day Platinum PopMaster Reveal!

Ken reveals the platinum-selling popstars taking part in All Day Platinum PopMaster. Plus Tom Walker - BRIT Award-winning singer songwriter - chooses the Tracks of My Years.

Ken reveals the platinum-selling popstars taking part in All Day Platinum PopMaster on Thursday 2nd June, which is part of Radio 2's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Tom Walker - BRIT Award-winning singer songwrite - chooses the Tracks of My Years all week with Ken. Born in Kilsyth, Tom first rose to fame after the release of his single 'Leave A Light On' which peaked at number 7 on the UK singles chart in 2018. It was a huge international hit and was included in his debut studio album 'What A Time To Be Alive', which achieved platinum status for sales of over 300,000 copies in the UK.

In 2019 Tom won the Best Breakthrough Act at the Brit Awards for 'Leave A Light On' which was also nominated for Best British Single. His brand new single 'Serotonin' was released at the end of last month and according to Tom is 'about finding the light in the darkness and appreciating the daily things/people in your life that make you happy'.

He's at present working on his second studio album which will be out in the autumn, when he has a tour planned as well.

The first two tracks Tom has chosen come from The Police and AC/DC. Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show, email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
