Asia’s first and only syndicated radio chart countdown programme, Asia Pop 40, is counting down the top 150 songs from 2014 over five weekly instalments this month.

It is the first annual countdown of the top 150 songs, based on their ranking in the chart and the number of weeks they appeared on the countdown.

Asia Pop 150 will air throughout the month, culminating with the announcement of the No. 1 song of 2014 on January 30.

Along with the top 150 songs of 2014, the show will also air interviews with artists including Charli XCX, Blush, Buck 22, Jolin Tsai, INXS, Sheppard, Samantha Jade, Nick Celino and Guy Sebastian.

According to statistics shared by the show’s producers, Eon Syndicated Media, 16 different songs took the No. 1 position last year and 46 weeks was the longest any single song stayed in the chart.

Creator & Executive Producer of Asia Pop 40, Rob Graham, said: “We have always wanted to create a year-end highlight package of the show, so what better way to showcase 52 episodes, or 156 hours, of programming.”
