Selector is hosted by Sian Eleri, one of the most credible and talented tastemakers at BBC Radio 1.

Selector Radio is a weekly radio programme showcasing the best new British music to a global audience. 

Selector was launched by the British Council in 2001 as a radio show giving UK music a platform around the world. It has since grown and evolved with the times, and now reaches millions of listeners every week. 

Now that 25 years have passed since the first Selector Radio show went on air, what better way to celebrate than with more excellent music and a host of special shows and interviews?
