UK Music Week

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

UK Music Week was a United Kingdom-wide music chart which compiled the 40 UK greatest artists of all time.

Most commercial radio stations took part in the week-long event from April 24 to May 1, 2006, which consisted of special programming and one networked programme on the last day from 3pm-7pm which counted down the chosen artists from number 40 to number 1.

Listeners voted by visiting the official website and by sending an SMS text message.
