You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.

Al Yankovic

I want my music, whether it's sung by other people or sung by myself, to affect the way the Top 40 radio sounds. I want to heavily influence it with things that have come directly from my brain.

Charli XCX

I want to go back to the format that radio started with rock n' roll, with country artists and rhythm and blues with that oldies type feeling. I want to put it all together and create a Top 40 of rhythm and blues and country and straight blues with Wolfman at the reins.

Wolfman Jack

So many times, I watch games and think, 'Man, why is that guy trying to score like that? He can't do it.' But he's been told his whole life, 'You have to go get 40 if you want to be one of the top dogs.' It's my goal to build a lane where you can be a top dog, and you don't gotta go get that 40. You can go get four and still be a top dog.

Draymond Green

Of course, I want to sell records, and of course I want to get played on radio, but it has to be about making the record that I'm proud of.

Trisha Yearwood

I don't get played on radio anymore. Once you're over 40, forget it.

Anne Murray

Quite honestly, I was running from myself. But I knew how to work Top 40 radio.

Glenn Beck

I want to write weirder stuff and convince people that it's Top 40.

Verite

But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?

Bill Wyman

Most artists over 40 or 50 don't get played on the radio. It's a young people's game. I was ready for that.

Anne Murray

I'm a Top 40 record guy. I remember the hits and don't remember the flops. Something in my brain blocks them out.

Steve Cropper

We're a little bit competitive and we want to make sure we're on the top. We're all working for the same goal as all these bands, we want to come out on top and I think we have accomplished that in a lot of ways. You want to keep improving yourselves and getting better at what you do.

Barry Kerch

Homesickness is a bit like seasickness. You don't know how awful it is unti you get it, and when you do, it hits you right in the top of the stomach and you want to die.

Roald Dahl

I don't want to be subsumed into popular culture and played on the radio next to some garbage music.

James Murphy

My biggest influences when I was a kid - I listened to a lot of top 40 radio, so whatever the big artists were, so, like, the mid-'80s.

Marc Martel

Early on, before rock 'n' roll, I listened to big band music - anything that came over the radio - and music played by bands in hotels that our parents could dance to. We had a big radio that looked like a jukebox, with a record player on the top. The radio/record player played 78rpm records. When we moved to that house, there was a record on there, with a red label. It was Bill Monroe, or maybe it was the Stanley Brothers. I'd never heard anything like that before. Ever. And it moved me away from all the conventional music that I was hearing.

Bob Dylan
