Die Hit-Giganten

Hugo Egon Balder takes viewers down memory lane in more shows and counting. Together with celebrity guests he will be running through the most successful pop and rock hymn, the famous lovesick songs or the best songs of the last decade. In the Countdown to Number One, countless stars reminisce their pasts and may even give away which wavelength they were on – fashion-wise and emotionally.

The height of each broadcast is the live performance of a national/ international musical artist or band. They revive the songs that made them popular and enthralled viewers have a chance to relive the era. How precisely this Greatest Hits show captures the spirit of the audience is revealed by taking a glance at the charts. The CD series of the same name released alongside the broadcast has sold over 1.3 million times and is therefore one of the most successful sampler series of all time.
