National Album Day
Featuring tracks from your favourite 80s album to celebrate the theme of this year's National Album Day. Plus Toyah Wilcox chooses her favourite vinyl record from the decade.
Featuring tracks from some of your favourite 80s albums. Now in its third year, National Album Day 2020 takes place on Saturday 10th October and celebrates the album format through a series of special events. This year's theme celebrates the eighties, a musically-rich decade that witnessed exciting new genres such as new wave, hip hop, electronica and indie come to the fore and shape our musical heritage to this day. Plus some of the biggest pop records of all time were releases during the 80s.
Toyah Wilcox is one of this year's ambassadors and chooses her favourite vinyl record, Grant counts down the best-selling albums of the whole decade and also plays some of John Lennon's biggest hits of the 1980s on what would have been his 80th birthday.
