The Kaiser Chiefs kick off with their rendition of The Move's Flowers in the Rain, the first song played on Radio 1. Other artists include Mika and Keane.
The album, titled Radio 1. Established 1967, will be released on 1 October.
Minogue sings Love is the Drug by Roxy Music (1975), while Allen sings The Pretenders' track Don't Get Me Wrong (1986).

Tony Blackburn launched BBC Radio 1 on 30 September 1967, in response to the success of pirate stations such as Radio Caroline.
Blackburn remained with the station for 17 years. Other early stars of the station included Terry Wogan, Jimmy Young and the late Kenny Everett.
