SiriusXM Hits 1


SiriusXM Hits 1 is a Top 40 radio station on SiriusXM Radio channel 2 and Dish Network channels 6002 and 099-02. Like most SiriusXM stations, it plays no commercials. The channel was formerly known as US-1 until 2004. The name is a take-off of VH1, whose name was originally an abbreviation of "Video Hits 1". Vh1 Satellite Radio once existed on XM but the channel was discontinued prior to the merger.
Following the merger, SiriusXM Hits 1 programming simulcasted on XM 20 On 20 from 9p.m. to noon Eastern for 2 years, where it was announced as SiriusXM Hits 1 On 20 on 20.
On May 4, 2011, at 12:01am EST, Hits 1 moved to channel 2 for Sirius radios, XM radios, and on SiriusXM Online. On Dish Network, SiriusXM Hits 1 is carried on channels 6002 and 099-02.

The Weekend Countdown

Every week, Hits 1 counts down their top 45 songs, usually ranked by airplay. Songs can stay on the Countdown anywhere from one week to over twenty weeks. However, in May 2020, The Weekend Countdown switched to 30 songs.

Year End Countdown

Most years, Hits 1 does their year end countdown, usually ranked by spins throughout the year. The countdowns usually have the same amount of songs as the weekend countdowns, but at times can be different. In 2012, Hits 1 only ranked the 14 songs that hit #1 that year. In 2010 and throughout 2013 to 2019, the year end was 45 songs to match the weekend countdown. Since 2020, the countdown has been 30 songs, just like the weekend countdown. There are instances where Hits 1 doesn't even do a year end countdown, such as in 2011.
