Los 40

Los 40 also operates in ten other countries, establishing its presence as a significant international music radio station in Spain and Latin America.

The format of Los 40 is characterized by a youthful and dynamic style, incorporating a casual language that appeals to a young audience.

[2] LOS40 stations are broadcast in: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Spain, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama and the Dominican Republic.

In 1965, Spain's Ministry of Information and Tourism mandated FM station launches, leading to a focus on music programming due to production costs.

The following year, Rafael Revert was tasked by Cadena SER to create a music show for a younger audience, resulting in the creation of the 40 Principales chart.

The program was pre-recorded and distributed to Cadena SER stations across Spain, which broadcast it simultaneously at the designated time.

On Saturday afternoons, Onda Media stations broadcast eight hours of "Los 40," during which listeners could vote for the number one song.

[5] Airing on Sunday evenings, the show was initially hosted by Juan Luis Ferrer before Guillem Caballé took over, infusing the program with a dynamic and entertaining style.

The number one song on Los 40's weekly hit list holds significant importance, as it is determined by the station's listeners through their active participation.

Now, the top song and the complete updated list are revealed every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:15 PM on the Del 40 al 1 program.

[9] A female listener offered to do "anything including licking whipped cream out of a human anus" to win tickets to the Mysteryland EDM festival.

[9][11][12] Hip then proceeded to invite listeners of the radio station to kiss the woman[13] who had just licked whipped cream from his anus to win tickets of their own.

The radio station deleted the tweet promptly after the negative reactions and assured their fans the contest's only purpose was to have fun, and not to hurt or demean anyone.
