Top 20 on 20 is a commercial-free, interactive hit music satellite radio station. It is channel 20 on XM Satellite Radio. The channel plays everything from rock to rap, with the songs chosen by online votes to the XM website. One can also vote their favorite songs by calling the station number, or text messaging.

The channel is completely automated by listener voting with no DJ interruption. Former DJs on 20 on 20 include Priestly (evenings) and Michelle (PM drive); both were previously DJs on The 90s on 9 (Michelle was then known as "Girl 2.0"). Occasionally Michelle hosted "The Meltdown with Michelle" in which she spoke with a currently popular artist. Both jocks have moved to XM's new CHR station, XM Hitlist, at the same timeslots. The channel also used to host a multi-weekly top 20 countdown for rock music, but that has since been taken over by the full time rock channels.

Top 20 on 20 is also one of the most popular music channels on XM. According to XM's internal research, the channel achieves 1.8 million listeners a week.

On December 4, 2006, 20 on 20 was relaunched [1]. Among the changes included a cut in the countdowns by 50 percent, adding live DJ's throughout the day including the return of Priestly and Michelle, and having celebrity countdowns on Fridays at 9 PM Eastern.
