  Top 40 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Top 40 is both a record chart and a radio format based on frequent repetition of songs from a constantly-updated list of the forty best-selling singles.
Top 40 was a response to the rise of television.
Top 40 also spawned the first generation of star disk jockeys, whose between-song patter and connection with the listeners became as important as the songs themselves.

 UK Singles Chart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main chart contains the top 250 singles combining record sales and downloads, of which the Top 75 is generally considered as the official chart (although only the top 40 are of interest to a wider public).
The Top 40 is currently, and always has been, sold to BBC Radio 1, who broadcast all the songs from the Top 40, in reverse order, on Sundays from 4 to 7pm.
The chart was expanded to a Top 20 from 1 October 1954, a Top 30 from 13 April 1956 and a Top 50 from April 1983.

Top 40 is a radio format based on frequent repetition of songs from a constantly-updated list of the forty best-selling singles.
Although the concept of the hit parade is older, the invention and naming of the Top 40 format is widely credited to Todd Storz, who was the director of radio station KWOH-AM in Omaha, Nebraska in the early 1950s.
Other broadcasters who contributed to the development of Top 40 radio included Gordon McLendon, who introduced the idea of contests, games, disc jockey patter and jingles, and Bartell Broadcasters, who emphasized local variations in taste on their Top 40 stations.
