Top 20 on 20 (or just 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 new 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 was 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 moved to XM's new CHR station, XM Hitlist (now Pop2K), at the same timeslots. In November 2006, both DJs moved back to XM20. 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. SquiZZ had its own similar countdown show on Saturdays.
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. The countdowns are now scheduled in timeslots at 12, 3, 6, & 9 AM & PM everyday.
The station, according to Arbitron measurements, is the most listened-to station on the XM service, with an estimated 1,050,000 listeners per week.[2]
Top 20 on 20 is not available on Sirius receivers, but subscribers can stream the audio via Sirius Internet radio. On January 15, 2009, the "Morning Mash Up" was added on this channel, while staying on Sirius XM Hits 1.
On March 27, 2009, Top 20 on 20 was added to the Sirius line-up. It is only available through the internet. And in June 2009, Sirius XM Hits 1 programming began simulcasting on XM 20 On 20 from 9 p.m. to 12 Noon Eastern. The station is announced on both signals as Sirius XM Hits 1 On 20 on 20. By September 2009, the channel was removed from Mediabase's reporting panel, and now airs music mostly sourced from Sirius XM Hits 1; however, the channel's programming is still different from Sirius XM Hits 1.
On February 9, 2010, Direct TV has stopped carrying Sirius XM programming and replaced it with another music service called SonicTap.
