All The Sixes for 2026!

Shaun curates a tracklist of rock anthems released in years ending in '6' to herald the dawn of 2026!

To mark the dawn of 2026, Shaun's gathered as many huge rock tunes as he can, released in years ending in '6'.

So expect some of the biggest riffs from 1966, '76, '86, '96, 2006 and yes, you guessed it, 2016!

He's got a special 'Live & Dangerous' from Queen which ticks a box from not one but two decades. And which hair metal anthem went to No.1 here in the UK forty years ago this year? Shaun's got it and he's not afraid to play it loud...

Radio 2 and Radio 1 are celebrating the music and memories from previous years ending in 6 to start 2026. To hear more, search ‘All the 6s’ on BBC Sounds.
