The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins picks the songs that soundtracked his life in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

The band's 2003 debut album 'Permission To Land' has sold over 1.5 million copies, and Justin - with his massive five-octave vocal range - has an instantly recognisable voice on their hits, which include 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' and 'Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)'.

The band are now back with their eighth studio album 'Dreams On Toast', which comes out in March, and they've also announced a UK headline tour throughout the spring, which will see them play 17 shows across the country.

Plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, a trip in to the 蜜芽传媒 Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the Record and Album Of The Week.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
