Gary Davies sits in with Rita Ora choosing her Tracks Of My Years

Singer and actress Rita Ora goes on a ten-song musical journey in Tracks of My Years, plus there's the music quiz Ten to the Top, and the Album of the Week.

Singer and actress Rita Ora starts her musical journey, choosing some of her favourite songs in Tracks of My Years.

As well as being a multi-platinum selling music artist with 13 UK top ten singles and four number ones to her name, Rita is also an actor, a model, an influencer and a general woman-about-town.

She's also built a reputation as a talent show judge both here and abroad in programmes like The X Factor, America's Next Top Model, The Masked Singer and The Voice.

And as well as delivering a knock out interval performance at this year’s Eurovision semi-final, Rita gave a surprise appearance on stage with Fatboy Slim at Glastonbury and most recently performed at London Pride.

Rita’s brand new single Don’t Think Twice is the third single to be released from her album You & I, and the song's video is directed by Academy Award winner Taika Waititi... who also happens to be Rita’s hubby.

There's also the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top and more spins of the Record and Album of the Week.

Whatever you're up to, Gary wants to hear from you: email gary.davies@bbc.co.uk - and if you’d like to apply to take part in Ten to the Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk.
