History

As part of VH-1's rebranding as "VH1: Music First" in 1994, the channel launched a new show, the ''VH1 Top 10 Countdown'', that counted down the top 10 music videos played on the channel each week. A combination of record sales, radio airplay, video spins, message board posts, and conventional mail decided the order of the countdown. A rotating cast of VJs picked up hosting duties for the show over the years. The show expanded from 10 to 20 music videos, becoming ''VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown'', on April 13, 2001. Each week, the show was broadcast from another location around

''. In a fundamental change from the show's older format of compiling the top 20 videos of the week, online votes resolved the entire order of the countdown.

, taped his first show on January 5, 2009, at the Virgin Megastore at Union Square in New York, for broadcast on January 10. In 2009, VH1 took faster control of the songs played on the show, with the number of videos available to be voted onto the ''Top 20 Countdown'' reduced to less than 30, and several videos were removed from the voting list while they were still in the top half of the countdown. There was also less competition regarding songs trying to earn a #1 spot due to the lack of a majority of song competitions in 2009 and four consecutive brand new #1 videos in January 2010. On September 18, 2010, the show expanded from two hours to two and a half hours. It returned to the original two-hour format on February 11, 2012. On May 14, 2011, the show celebrated its 800th episode. This makes the countdown the longest-running, music-related program on any channel ever in television history. The countdown's 800th #1 video was "Rolling in the Deep" from Adele. In the past, viewers could choose up to 20 videos to vote for at one time by dragging a song into spaces numbered 1-20. Voting was unlimited, allowing viewers to vote however many times they wanted, but in mid-2011, the voting format changed, and viewers could only vote for one video at a time. Votes were also limited to 20 times per day. In 2014, the show's voting was taken away, reverting to the original format of record sales, streaming, radio airplay, video spins, chart performance, and social media hype. Jim Shearer hosted his final episode on December 13, 2014, since his contract was not renewed for 2015. From January 10 to April 25, 2015, musical artists and other entertainment personalities guest-hosted the show. Shannon Coffey was announced as the new host on April 20, 2015, and officially began hosting on May 2, 2015. The show was renamed "The 20," keeping the same video countdown but introducing new segments and a new studio. On November 28, 2015, the final episode of "The 20" aired without ceremony, and the program was canceled without any publicity or statement as to why. An end-of-year special aired on December 19, 2015, in the same timeslot called ''The 2015 Year-End Special'' hosted by a panel of hosts, but no video of the year was named, and it composed a countdown of 20 pop-culture moments instead of videos.

From 2002 to 2011, the special was a top 40 countdown and resembled VH1's occasional "Top 100" countdowns. In 2012, the format of the year-end show changed again, to a top 20 countdown. The special was presented the same way a weekly show would be shown. In 2013, the format changed back to a top 40 countdown. In 2014, the year-end countdown changed back to a top 20 format. *''Rock Across America'': Each summer through 2001, the show became a traveling event across nationwide. *The 20th Anniversary special aired on June 20, 2015.

20/20 Club

A video is said to be part of the 20/20 Club when it has been on the countdown for 20 consecutive weeks. On its 20th week, the host will say that it has reached 20 weeks and this will be the last time it will be shown on the countdown. As of 2013, the 20/20 Club has ended, and there is no limit to how long videos can appear on the countdown.
