About The Ultimate Top 40
The Ultimate Top 40 is a London-based online radio service built around the countdown that pop fans love. Every Sunday, host Rob Lee presents the latest and biggest chart toppers live, counting down the songs that are dominating streaming, downloads and airplay. If you love keeping up with the charts, this is a station worth knowing about.
Chart radio, the online way
Countdown shows have been part of British radio for decades, from the classic Sunday chart shows of the past to today's Official Chart broadcasts. The Ultimate Top 40 carries that tradition online. Rather than a full 24-hour schedule of different programmes, it focuses on what it does best: a lively weekly run-through of the hottest songs, with chart news, new entries, climbers and the battle for number one.
What you will hear
Each show features the biggest pop, dance, hip hop and R&B tracks of the moment, from global superstars to breakthrough British artists. Along the way, the host shares facts about the songs and artists, highlights the biggest movers of the week and introduces exciting new releases. It is the perfect way to catch up on the music everyone is talking about in one go, whether you listen live on a Sunday or catch up later. Because it is an online service, you can tune in from anywhere in the world.
