Launched in 2006 and possibly the longest running Australian networked radio show that you’ve never heard of until now, Urbancharthits.com Australia’s only Top 20 Urban Radio Countdown this week celebrates its 1000th edition. 

Urban Chart Hits initially was heard on some independent commercial stations in Queensland and NSW before getting picked up what is now SCA. It was aired on all 65 Sea, Star and Hot FM hit music stations nationally on a Sunday night from 10pm. Later the Grant Broadcasters picked it up and then in 2019, the brand, show and website were purchased by Costello Investment Holdings and continued in its current format until now.

The commercial stations currently airing Urban Chart Hits:
97.3 Coast FM (Mandurah, WA)
91.9 Sea FM (Sunshine Coast QLD)
Flow FM network (23 stations across SA, Vic, NSW, NT)
And a number of narrowcast, indigenous and community stations across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore

There is something of a revival happening in this genre with artists like Doechii, SZA, Kendrick Lamar and locally The Kid LAROI but to give you full appreciation of the milestone the Urban Rewind Old Skool Classic this week is below:
