Top 20 on 20 (or just 20 on 20) is a commercial-free, interactive hit music satellite radio station. It is channel 20 on XM Satellite Radio. The channel plays everything new from rock to rap, with the songs chosen by online votes to the XM website. One can also vote their favorite songs by calling the station number, or text messaging.

The channel was completely automated by listener voting with no DJ interruption. Former DJs on 20 on 20 include Priestly (evenings) and Michelle (PM drive); both were previously DJs on The 90s on 9 (Michelle was then known as "Girl 2.0"). Occasionally Michelle hosted "The Meltdown with Michelle" in which she spoke with a currently popular artist. Both jocks moved to XM's new CHR station, XM Hitlist, at the same timeslots. In November 2006, both DJs moved back to XM20. The channel also used to host a multi-weekly top 20 countdown for rock music, but that has since been taken over by the full time rock channels. SquiZZ has its own similar countdown show on Saturdays.

On December 4, 2006, 20 on 20 was relaunched [1]. Among the changes included a cut in the countdowns by 50 percent, adding live DJ's throughout the day including the return of Priestly and Michelle, and having celebrity countdowns on Fridays at 9 PM Eastern. The countdowns are now scheduled in timeslots at 12, 3, 6, & 9 AM & PM everyday.

The station, according to Arbitron measurements, is the most listened-to station on the XM service, with an estimated 1,050,000 listeners per week.[1]
