Dutch Top 40

It remained "The Veronica Top 40" until 1974, when the station was forced to stop broadcasting.

1976, the Top 40 was broadcast by TROS on the pop radio station Hilversum 3, presented by famous Dutch DJ Ferry Maat.

In 1981 and 1982, Stichting Nederlandse Top 40 ran several trade fairs in both the Netherlands and Belgium.

[6] For most of its history, the Top 40 was based on sales figures of record stores.

They were removed again because supposedly, download sales could be easily manipulated by record companies or artists.

[8] As of February 2014, the chart is a combination of airplay, streaming, and social media trends.

The Tipparade, a 'bubbling under' chart for the Top 40, is based on sales, streaming, airplay, and recommendations from both the general public and the music industry.

This is a listing of significant achievements and milestones based upon the Dutch Top 40 charts.
