Ken has another round of PopMaster plus the love song, record and album of the week. Carly Rae Jepsen picks two more Tracks of My Years.

Carly Rae Jepsen, Canadian singer, songwriter and actress, is choosing the Tracks of My Years with music from The Bangles and Blondie. Born and raised in Mission, British Columbia, Carly performed several lead roles in her high school's musical productions and pursued musical theatre at the Canadian College of Performing Arts. Her breakthrough came in 2012 when her single "Call Me Maybe" was boosted to significant mainstream popularity, the song became the best selling single of that year, reaching number one in eighteen countries worldwide. As a result, she was signed to a joint worldwide record deal with Schoolboy Records and Interscope Records. Her second studio album "Kiss" was released later that year. The record marked a greater shift into mainstream pop music and saw fair commercial success reaching the top ten in Canada and the United States. In 2016 Carly performed in the television special Grease: Live and lent her voice to the animated film "Ballerina". Carly's latest album "Dedicated" was released last month including the song "Now That I've Found You" which is currenlty sound-tracking the new and third series of the hugely poplar Netflix show "Queer Eye". 

Carly has received multiple accolades, including three Juno Awards, a Billboard Music Award and an Allan Slaight Award, in addition to various nominations for Grammy Awards, Prime-time Emmy Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Polaris Music Prize and People's Choice Awards. As of May 2015 she has sold well over 20 million records worldwide. 

Ken also has the love song, record and album of the week plus more from the PopMaster Music Quiz. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
