Cher chooses her Tracks Of My Years

Global pop icon Cher is the special guest on Tracks Of My Years, taking us on a journey through her six decade career as well as picking a few of her favourite Christmas songs.

Global pop icon Cher is the special guest on this week's Tracks Of My Years, taking us on a journey through her six decade career as well as picking a few of her favourite Christmas songs.

Across a six decade career she’s sold over 100m records, has a trophy cabinet chock full of awards including a Grammy, an Emmy and an Oscar, and is known for her being a trendsetter, an activist, a philanthropist and just a fabulous human being.

Even at 77, she’s still capable of firsts, and she recently released her first festive album called, appropriately, Christmas. Her first new studio album in five years, it includes several holiday classics and four originals, and has a star-studded list of guests including Darlene Love, Stevie Wonder, Michael Bublé and Cyndi Lauper.

Today's Christmas choice from Cher comes from Judy Garland.

Also, there'll be more audio nuggets from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Archive in Vernon's Vault; a new Record and Album Of The Week; and the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@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
