Background

The radio show counts down the top 40 songs in the chart. Unlike the official sales-based chart broadcast at the same time by BBC Radio 1, the hit40uk chart includes radio airplay. The show has enjoyed higher audience figures than Radio 1's Official Chart Show since 1993, except for a brief period of 2006 when a weak commercial radio sector caused hit40uk's share to fall below that of its rival.
