Throughout September, the region’s first and only syndicated radio chart countdown programme, Asia Pop 40, counted down the most popular 140 songs from 2010 to 2019, over three weekly episodes.
It culminated with the announcement of Ed Sheeran’s Shape Of You as the Song Of The Decade last weekend.
The Asia Pop 140 of the Decade featured the top 140 songs on the Asia Pop40 chart, based purely on their ranking in the chart and the number of weeks they appeared over the previous ten years.
The countdown was presented by regular Asia Pop40 host Joey Chou.
Creator & Executive Producer of Asia Pop40, Rob Graham, stated: “To be able to countdown a decade of Asia Pop40 songs is quite a milestone for us here at EON. This is a first for Asian radio and we’re very proud of that.”
