My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People like us! Core is made by and for people who like new music and finding "The Next Big Thing", and generally having a laugh and a good time.

We like looking forwards, not backwards, so we've put together our "Best Of 2008" - the artists and tracks we are most excited about for next year, from the UK and around the world.

"Best of 2008" airs from Boxing Day on Core, and you'll hear fresh artists like Zarif, Elliot Minor, Finger Eleven, Jack McManus, Laura Marling, Sara Bareilles and The Script. We also have some exclusive fresh tracks from Natasha Bedingfield feat. Sean Kingston and One Republic.

Here's a taster of our "Best Of 2008" songs:
