Ö3 Austria Top 40

Ö3 Austria Top 40 is the official Austrian singles chart, as well as the radio show which presents it, aired on Mondays on Hitradio Ö3. The show presents the Austrian singles, ringtones and downloads chart. It premiered on 26 November 1968 as Disc Parade and was presented by Ernst Grissemann.

The weekly number-ones are released by Musikmarkt and GoTV.

From 1980 to 7 January 1990, the mixed listening-and-sales parade "Hit wähl mit" ("Pick the Hit") was broadcast on Sunday evening, starting with an hour of 15 charting song and six new releases. The longest broadcast ran for two hours with 25 charting songs and eight new releases.

On 12 January 1990, the pure sales hit parade Ö3 Top-30 was introduced on Ö3. It was presented by Udo Huber on Saturday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and ran for two hours. The first number-one in the sales hit parade was the song "All Around the World" by Lisa Stansfield. The sales data collection as the basis for the shipment was carried out until the beginning of 1999 by the copyright company Austro Mechana, which is responsible for the license fees for the mechanical reproduction.

On 15 September 1995, the show was expanded to 40 songs. It now ran for three hours. From April 1999 the data was collected by Austro Mechana, since 2003 GfK Entertainment (founded as Media Control GfK International) has been creating the charts.

Udo Huber left the show on 10 January 1997. Martina Kaiser, Matthias Euler-Rolle, Gustav Götz, Benny Hörtnagl, Thomas Filzer, Elke Rock and Tarek Adamski then moderated the show for a few years each. The current presenters are Jana Petrik and Martin Ziniel, who have been hosting the programm since 2022.
