Asia Pop 40 celebrates 200 episodes

 

The 200th episode of Asia Pop 40 was aired across Asia this weekend. It is the region’s only syndicated chart countdown show.

To celebrate the landmark, EON Media Group produced a special episode of the show paying tribute to all the songs that have reached number one on the chart since its inception.

The special episode featured highlights from the previous 199 shows, including interviews with The Chainsmokers, Justin Bieber, Charlie Puth, Fifth Harmony and many more.

The English version of Asia Pop 40 is hosted by media celebrity Dom Lau and first aired back in 2013.

The chart is compiled using Asian chart data provided exclusively by iTunes.

The franchise currently airs across Southeast Asia and China as well as Australia/New Zealand on iHeartRadio, in English and Mandarin, to over 70 cities.

Creator & Executive Producer of Asia Pop 40, Rob Graham, stated: “When we started the chart all those years ago, I never imagined it would become such a recognized show across Asia. To reach 200 shows is a really proud moment for me and my incredibly professional team and we are all looking forward to the next 200 shows.”
