Selecting the best UK music every week and sharing it with the world
Selector Radio picks out the best new UK music each week and shares it with four million listeners around the world. It’s a show we’ve been producing since 2001 and it continues to connect a global audience to the ever-changing sounds of UK culture.
What do we play?
Selector broadcasts on radio stations in over 30 countries around the world, connecting a global community of music lovers from Portugal to China every week. If it’s not on the radio in wherever you are, you can find Selector online where you can find the latest show, together with the latest Selector Sessions – live performances from emerging talent – Selector After Dark – weekly mixes from guest UK DJs and more.
Selector plays music from any band, any artist and any genre, as long as it’s new and exciting – taking you on a virtual tour of the UK, dropping you into the heart of cities like Bristol, Belfast, Cardiff and Glasgow. Each week, whatever the genre, Selector puts together a truly eclectic playlist and catches up with the names that are leading the way in the world of music.
