Back in 2007 Ferry Corsten launched ‘Corsten’s Countdown’ – the first ever interactive electronic dance music (EDM) radio chart show. Corsten’s Countdown is renowned for showcasing the very latest releases and future hits from across the EDM spectrum including trance, house and progressive. Every week Ferry personally selects and presents the freshest dance music to his listeners. Following the climactic close of each show Ferry encourages listeners to vote for their favorite aired tune. The three tracks to receive the most votes are scheduled for a re-run in next week’s Corsten’s Countdown Top 3.

Corsten’s Countdown website

Dancefoundation developed and designed the brand new 2014 Corsten’s Countdown website. The cutting-edge website is powered by our live platform and is capable of hosting both the special live broadcasts as well as the weekly episodes. Fans can vote for their favorite track of this week’s episode, browse through the extensive archive of previous episodes and get more information about the tracks played. The new website was first introduced during the Corsten’s Countdown NYE 2013 special.

Corsten’s Countdown NYE 2013 Special

Celebrating 2013 and launching into 2014 with a bang, that’s what the Corsten’s Countdown New Years Special was all about! With over 216 stations in 50 countries simulcasting, listeners from Australia, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North and South America joined in on the eight-hour live broadcast.  #CC2013 featured interviews with Tommy Trash, Tritonal, Andrew Rayel, Laidback Luke and others. A special live performance by Jenny Wahlstrom, the singer of Ferry Corsten’s single, “Many Ways”, was one of the highlights of the show.

Listeners could not only vote for their favorite tracks, but also help Ferry decide what to order for lunch during the epic ‘New York Food Truck Battle’, that happened spontaneously during the broadcast. Corsten’s Countdown has truly grown to be the most interactive EDM chart show.
