It's with a heavy heart that we announce The Monthly Big Top 15 has been cancelled. What started as a simple idea — count down the top 15 songs of the month and share them with radio listeners everywhere — grew into something we're incredibly proud of. But every show has its season, and this one has reached its end.
Why it's ending
The truth is, the show hasn't been the same without Leon. Over the past few months, scheduling conflicts meant Leon was unable to host episode after episode. Guest hosts stepped in and did a fantastic job keeping the countdown on air, but the growing gaps and repeated cancellations made it clear the format wasn't sustainable in its current form.
Rather than let the show slowly fade with more missed episodes, we felt the right thing to do was to give it a proper ending and turn our attention to something new — something built around Leon from the ground up.
A thank you to everyone
Thank you to every listener who tuned in each month, every affiliate station that syndicated the countdown, and every guest host who stepped up when we needed them most. The Monthly Big Top 15 was only possible because of you, and the community around it made every episode worth doing.
Leon's new project
The good news: this isn't the end of the road. Leon is already hard at work on a brand new syndicated show — one designed from the start to be built around his hosting, his style, and his schedule. It will carry forward the spirit of what made the countdown special while giving Leon the creative freedom to do something bigger.
We're not ready to share all the details just yet, but the new show will be announced soon. Keep an eye out — it's going to be worth the wait.
A new syndicated show, made by Leon, announced soon.
