The Vinyl Countdown

Get ready to spin back in time with The Vinyl Countdown on Greatest Hits Ireland, airing twice daily at 10am and 5pm. This standout feature takes you on a nostalgic journey through the Top 10 biggest hits from a specific month in the 70s or 80s — back when charts were gold, and music came with that warm crackle of vinyl.

Each countdown is a time capsule, packed with iconic tracks from legends like Howard Jones, ABBA, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Kate Bush, Wham!, and many more. Whether it's the disco anthems of '78 or the synth-pop stormers of '85, The Vinyl Countdown delivers the soundtrack to some of the most unforgettable moments in music history.

Hosted with minimal chatter and maximum tunes, it's all about the music — the kind that had you queuing outside record shops and rushing to hit record on the tape deck. Whether you're reliving your youth or discovering the classics for the first time, The Vinyl Countdown is the perfect blend of feel-good flashbacks and chart-topping nostalgia.

Two chances every weekday to tune in, turn it up, and count it down — only on Greatest Hits Ireland.
