Top 20 Tracks Of 2025 (Part Two)

Duran Duran - Duran Duran (The Wedding Album)

To celebrate Duran Duran's 1993 self-titled album (more affectionally known as The Wedding Album) being repressed on vinyl for the first time since its original release, we're sharing this episode first released on Patreon three years ago. And as an extra special treat we hear from the legendary Tessa Niles who shares her memories of recording Come Undone with the band. Elsewhere we discuss Ordinary World and the incredible impact the song had on the band's legacy, and discuss some other singles that could have been. It would be remiss of us to not mention there are still 70+ episodes on Patreon that aren't available elsewhere, including Duran Duran's Big Thing.

Louise - Confessions

Fear not... We have risen. It's been a couple of months since our last release, but following a Holy weekend we just had to confess something: This is our first Louise episode! But what better place to start than what we believe is her best album to date?! It is of course last year's Confessions. With co-writes from Jon Shave, Karen Poole, MNEK, Hannah Robinson, Wayne Hector, Miranda Cooper and so many more, this album featuring the cream of the pop song crop blew us away, becoming one of our Albums Of 2025. We haven't stopped playing it or talking about it since its release, so we just had to give it the Track By Track treatment. Let us know what you think to the album and the episode @trackbytrackuk over on Insta or hellotrackbytrack@gmail.com on electronic-mail. And if you've enjoyed the episode, please do confess and give us a rating and review. More episodes coming soon... ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Track By Track Meets... Barry Stone (Belvedere Kane, Jewels & Stone, The Alias)

We're back with our first episode of 2026, and what a treat we've got for you. Barry Stone is a name we've mentioned many times over the years for his songwriting, producing and remixing credentials, but this week he's finally released his debut album, Such Trying Time, as Belvedere Kane - thirty years after the project was shelved. We're delving into the album, the impressive line up of collaborators, and of course we couldn't not ask about Steps, Sophie EB et al. Also, a HUGE thanks to Barry - one of the co-writers of the legendary Pop Idol theme tune - for adding some magic to our very own theme. Let us know your thoughts on the album, the episode and more @trackbytrackuk on Instagram. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Kylie Minogue - Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped Snow Queen Edition)

It's Christmas! And not only that, it's another Kylie Christmas with Ms. Minogue not only taking Kylie Christmas to #1 (and the Top Ten) for the first time with the Fully Wrapped edition, but also getting this year's Christmas #1 with XMAS! To celebrate, we've got a real selection box of treats for you here. We've already done the standard edition of Kylie Christmas and chose three of the Snow Queen Edition tracks for Further Listening, so on this episode we're covering the rest of the Snow Queen Edition, as well as the four new tracks released this year! As always do let us know your thoughts on Kylie, Kylie Christmas, Fully Wrapped, XMAS and whatever else you fancy really @trackbytrackuk on Instagram. We hope you have the merriest of Kylie Christmases and the most Minogue New Year. Thanks for welcoming us back so quickly - we're looking forward to sharing new episodes with you in 2026! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
