Celebrating 70 years of the UK singles chart

We celebrate 70 years of the UK music chart and the many feats that have been achieved. Plus, Swedish duo First Aid Kit and music from Ezra Collective, Luke Evans, Drake, K-Trap.

Way back in November 1952 the very first UK music chart was published. In those 70 years it has become one of the most respected in the world. We look back over those years and celebrating the many feats that have been achieved during that time.

Plus, we talk to Swedish duo First Aid Kit who have just returned with their fifth album.

There is music from Ezra Collective, Luke Evans, Drake, K-Trap and Taylor Swift, plus we feature the top five best selling songs in the UK this week.
