British singer/songwriter Charli XCX has joined BBC Radio 1, hosting the Best Song Ever podcast on BBC Sounds.

The 1999 hitmaker will interview friends and celebrity guests with the aim of finding out what 'the best song ever is for all different situations and stages of life', and commented 'The reason I wanted to do this podcast is because I love talking to people, and I love exploring the emotional connection any person can have with music. Songs that soundtrack specific moments in life can amplify and affect a moment drastically and so I wanted to explore what those moments and songs are with some of my favourite creative people. In every conversation I’ve had, I’ve learnt something brand new about each guest and I feel like I’ve gotten to know each and everyone one of them a little bit more'.
