De Nederlandse Top 40 bestaat sinds 2 januari 1965 en is daarmee één van de langstlopende hitlijsten ter wereld. De lijst werd bedacht door Radio Veronica-discjockey Joost den Draaijer en groeide al snel uit tot hét overzicht van de populairste muziek in Nederland. Elke vrijdag wordt een nieuwe lijst uitgebracht, samengesteld op basis van streamingcijfers, airplay en trends op sociale media. In de loop der jaren stonden duizenden artiesten in de Top 40, van The Beatles tot Davina Michelle. Het nummer met de langste tijd op nummer 1 is “As It Was” van Harry Styles (18 weken), terwijl David Guetta de artiest is met de meeste noteringen ooit. De Top 40 is dus niet alleen een hitlijst, maar ook een stukje Nederlandse muziekgeschiedenis vol records, verrassingen en nostalgie.
