The Love Song and Ryan Tedder

BBC Radio 2 - Ken Bruce, The Love Song and Ryan Tedder

Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic picks the Tracks of My Years, plus PopMaster.

Ryan Tedder - lead vocalist of OneRepublic and superstar songwriter and producer - chooses the Tracks of My Years. There's also Record and Album Of The week, and PopMaster.

Ryan Tedder, singer songwriter and lead vocalist of OneRepublic, chooses the Tracks of My Years. The band first formed in 2002 and and released their debut 'Dreaming Out Loud' in 2007 which included the multi-platinum-selling single 'Apologize' which shattered digital sales and airplay records worldwide and received a Grammy Award nomination. Most recently OneRepublic released 'Lose Somebody' with Kygo and 'Wild Life' which appeared in Disney+'s original movie 'Clouds'. To date they have amassed 5 billion streams on Spotify.

Aside from the band, Ryan has an independent career collaborating with some of the world's top artists including Adele, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney to name but a few. 'Apologize' performed by One Republic, 'Bleeding Love' by Leona Lewis and Beyonce's 'Halo' all made the list of best-selling singles of all time. In early 2014, Billboard named him 'The Undercover King of Pop' and featured him on the magazine's cover. He's also co-written and produced Jessie J's upcoming 5th album.

OneRepublic's brand new album 'Human' will be released next month and includes their latest single 'Run' which has already amassed over 1.75 billion global streams.
The next two tracks Ryan has chosen come from Radiohead and Elbow. Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus more from the legendary music quiz PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
