What's In Vernon's Vault Today?

Oscar, Emmy and Grammy-winning superstar Cher chooses two more Tracks Of My Years; there's another dive into Vernon's Vault; and two more contestants battle it out in Ten To The Top

Global pop icon Cher is the special guest on this week's Tracks Of My Years, taking us on a journey through her six decade career as well as picking a few of her favourite Christmas songs.

Across a six decade career, she鈥檚 sold over 100m records, has a trophy cabinet chock full of awards including a Grammy, an Emmy and an Oscar, and is known for her being a trendsetter, an activist, a philanthropist and just a fabulous human being.

Even at 77, she鈥檚 still capable of firsts, and she recently released her first festive album called, appropriately, Christmas. Her first new studio album in five years, it includes several holiday classics and four originals, and has a star-studded list of guests including Darlene Love, Stevie Wonder, Michael Bubl茅 and Cyndi Lauper.

Today's Christmas choice from Cher comes from Mariah Carey.

Plus more audio nuggets from the 91热爆 Archive in Vernon's Vault; the Record and Album Of The Week; and the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.
