 The New Zealand Retro Weekly Top 40 Countdown is a weekly trip back in time
to New Zealand in the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s.
Rob Walker hosts the show which is a countdown of the top 40 songs as they were
on the official New Zealand singles charts for the corresponding weekend. 
It also includes a look at some tracks off some great albums that were
on the official New Zealand album charts for that same year and weekend.

It’s 3 – 4 hours of reminiscing and is packed with audio from the artists,
as well as a look at New Zealand news & events of featured year,
and because it's our countdown, it of course features some great Kiwi music 

OUR CHARTS --- OUR MUSIC!
The charts used are based on the Official Aotearoa Music Charts ​from Recorded Music New Zealand.
Heard on
48 GREAT and 100% locally owned & operated independent radio stations  across the nation!
It is also heard on 
5 OVERSEAS radio stations as well! ​
That’s a TOTAL of 53 STATIONS playing the most syndicated locally produced music programme on ​New Zealand Radio!
