The Countdown

Canada’s Top 20 Countdowns are weekly CHR/HOT AC, ROCK and COUNTRY Radio Countdown programs. Each program runs two hours in duration, and they count down the 20 biggest songs from coast to coast in their respective genres. Collectively they have a listenership in Canada of just over 3,000,000 weekly and the show is heard in 23 different markets by over 30 million plus listeners in Europe, across the Caribbean, on all Air Canada flights world-wide and on The Canadian Forces Network .[1]

In 2010, Positive Number Productions rolled out a Rock version of the countdown and also added a Country version.[2]

Canada’s Top 20 CHR/HOT AC, ROCK and AC are hosted by A. J. Reynolds. The Country Program is hosted by Julia Kilbride.[3]
