UK Music Week was a nationwide music vote held in the UK, which compiled a list of the top 40 greatest musicians of all time. Many commercial radio stations took part in the week-long event from 24 April to 1 May 2006, consisting of special programming and a results show, which was broadcast on the last day of the week and counted down the chosen artists from number 40 to number 1.
