You are listening to the global countdown, first broadcast on the briefing on 19 December.
You did just hear that jingle because it is Thursday.
Which means we are back from for a final global countdown of the year with Fernando Augusto Pacheco, Monocle's senior correspondent and musical curator.
Have we reached the end of the year, Faye?
We did.
We did.
So with that, I have to do a special global countdown, right?
I mean, you don't have a few specials this year.
You've been leaning into the specials, which, I mean, no complaints.
What is our special for the end of this year?
So today I decided to look at the most successful countries musically.
And how did I do this?
So basically we have a global music chart and they released 100 songs of the year.
So I've compiled what countries, what music acts, where are they from?
You know, this is all data driven.
So it's not just Fernando's view on this.
This is what we do.
It's data driven.
It's very.
I'm a data driver.
