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 April 24 to May 1, 2006, which consisted of special programming and the results show, which was broadcast on the last day of the week and counted down the chosen artists from number 40 to number 1.
Public voting was conducted online on the UK Music Week website, and also by texting nominations to a dedicated number.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or week:
“So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
And through the music of the languid hours,
They hear like ocean on a western beach
The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
—Andrew Lang (1844–1912)
“Next week Reagan will probably announce that American scientists have discovered that the entire U.S. agricultural surplus can be compacted into a giant tomato one thousand miles across, which will be suspended above the Kremlin from a cluster of U.S. satellites flying in geosynchronous orbit. At the first sign of trouble the satellites will drop the tomato on the Kremlin, drowning the fractious Muscovites in ketchup.”
—Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)
