Countdown is a popular Dutch music television program which was broadcast by the public broadcasting system Veronica from 1978 to 1994. It ranked as the top music television programs in all of Europe. Due the popularity of the program, one of its hosts, Adam Curry, became a celebrity. Other hosts included Simone Walraven, Jasper Faber, Erik de Zwart and Wessel van Diepen.
A special English-language edition of Countdown was produced for pan-European music channel Music Box in 1987, with presenters Adam Curry and Erik de Zwart.
The programme may have been inspired by the Australian music show CountDown, which aired from 8 November 1974 until 19 July 1987. It was The Australian CountDown which Swedish band ABBA credit in large part for their success.
