HRB has revealed its chart the most requested artists and groups played during 2024 and once again Elvis Presley came out on top.
The chart was revealed in a special show on 30 December with listeners choosing a number from the chart to dedicate to themselves. Listeners were also able to guess the number one to try and win a prize and of those who had a go, only one person got the right answer.
Jenny, who was a patient on CCU ward guessed correctly and won a goody bag from Morrisons in Basingstoke and her son got to announce the number one on the air just before it was played.
The full top 40 is below. All HRB’s request data will go towards compiling the National Hospital Radio Request Chart which will be heard on HRB in January.
