Nicole Appleton, Canadian singer songwriter and member of All Saints, chooses the Tracks of My Years with music from Whitney Houston and Aerosmith. The group's debut album, All Saints  peaked at number two on the UK Album Charts in 1997 and went on to become the third best selling girl group album of all time in the UK. The album contained three UK number ones: 'Never Ever;, 'Under The Bridge/Lady Marmalade' and 'Bootie Call'. 'Never Ever' is the second best selling girl group single of all time in the UK, behind the Spice Girls' 'Wannabe'. It also won two Brit Awards: Best British Single and Best British Video and the group were nominated for Best British Breakthrough Act. Their second album, Saints & Sinners became their first number-one album in 2000 and achieved multi-platinum success.  Amid in-fighting among the group members, All Saints split the following year. The group later reformed after signing to Parlophone Records to release their third album, Studio 1 in 2006. Following a second split in 2009, the group reunited in 2014 for a series of live performances, prompting the group to sign to London for a second time for the release of their fourth album, Red Flag in 2016.  Their latest album 'Testament' was released in July of this year seeing the band collaborating once again with producer William Orbit, the force behind their biggest hits 'Pure Shores' and 'Black Coffee'. They wowed the crowds back in September at Radio 2's Festival in a Day performing live at London's Hyde Park and are currently on a UK tour until December.

There's also the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
