Radio 2 In The Park stars Pixie Lott and Rick Witter (Shed Seven) go head-to-head in a special Preston edition of Ten To The Top!

Also, one of the UK's most successful songwriters, Paul Heaton, shares his favourite song choices all this week on Tracks Of My Years.

Paul first emerged in the 80s as the front man of The Housemartins - counting Norman Cook among his bandmates - and then went on to even greater success in The Beautiful South. Paul and the gang achieved chart hits such as "Song For Whoever", "You Keep It All In", "A Little Time", "Rotterdam", "Don't Marry Her" and "Perfect 10" before the band went their separate ways.

After releasing several solo albums, in 2014 Paul reunited with his former Beautiful South bandmate Jacqui Abbott to release a new album. 'What Have We Become?' was a critical success, and they went on to record five acclaimed albums as a duo.

Earlier this year, Paul performed at Glastonbury; he’ll be heading to Preston for Radio 2 in the Park in September, and in November, he’ll be out on tour with the release of his a new album, "The Mighty Several".

Plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, a trip in to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the Record and Album Of The Week.
