Who's up for Ten To The Top?

Grammy-nominated noughties icon Natasha Bedingfield chooses the songs that shaped her life in Tracks Of My Years. And there’s another spin of Album and Record Of The Week.

Grammy-nominated noughties icon Natasha Bedingfield chooses another two songs in Tracks Of My Years this week.

Natasha started her career in the 90s with 'The DNA Algorithm' alongside her siblings Daniel Bedingfield and Nikola Rachelle before going solo, and her 2004 debut album 'Unwritten' featured number 1s 'These Words' and 'Unwritten'.

The album went triple platinum in the UK, and the title track has been featured in a movie and several TV adverts, as well as becoming the theme song for MTV’s The Hills. Natasha’s music has also been featured in popular TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy and The Vampire Diaries.

Natasha has sold over 20 million records in total, and she has platinum artist status, a Grammy Award nomination for β€˜Best Female Pop Vocal Performance’ and multiple Brit Awards nominations.

Her smash hit β€˜Unwritten’ returned to the charts earlier this year two decades after its first release following its use in the romcom β€˜Anyone But You’, and she's playing a 20th anniversary show at London's KOKO in September. Before then, she's playing a series of summer festivals, including TRNSMT in Glasgow and the Victorious Festival in Portsmouth.

Natasha's next two choices are from Lauryn Hill and Daniel Bedingfield
