What's in Vernon's Vault today?

Busted's Matt Willis goes on a ten-song musical journey in Tracks of My Years. Plus, there's Vernon's music quiz Ten to the Top.

Busted's Matt Willis chooses his Tracks of My Years.

Matt is the co-founder of guitar-pop band Busted, along with Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Tom Fletcher, and, since forming at the turn of the century, the band have had four UK number-one singles, won two Brit awards, released four studio albums and sold over five million records worldwide.

In 2006, Matt took part in Celebrity MasterChef and I’m a Celeb, where he was crowned King of the Jungle. This led to a successful television career, as well as acting roles including Flashdance the Musical, Wicked and 2:22 A Ghost Story.

Last year, Matt hosted a well-received documentary on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ One called Matt Willis: Fighting Addiction, where he shared his ongoing battle and the impact that it has had on his family.

Now, in celebration of their 20th anniversary, Matt, Charlie, James and Tom are embarking on a UK arena tour for Busted, which kicks off on 2 September in Plymouth and will finish in Manchester on the 24th. They will also be appearing at Radio 2's Party in the Park on Saturday 16 September.

Matt's first two choices are by The Fugees and Blink-182.

There are also more audio nuggets from the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Archive in Vernon's Vault, plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top and a brand new Record and Album of the Week.
