The HOT 40 Countdown was created in November, 2009 by the Greek radio production company "RadioGOGO".
The HOT 40 Countdown as well as playing today's Greek Mainstream and International hits, also is innovative and gives new and unknown artists their chance to become heard on a Pan-Hellenic level, thus gaining recognition and more exposure to a wider audience. The segment is called the "Break-Thru Artist Chart" where four to five new bands/artists are featured every week from all over Greece.
