MTV Networks UK & Ireland and Galaxy Network today announced a partnership to launch a dance music chart show that will air on MTV Dance & across the Galaxy network. ?The Galaxy Chart on MTV Dance? will air weekly, with the chart determined by the viewers and listeners of MTV Dance and Galaxy radio. The first show will be broadcast on Galaxy on April 15th at 4pm and on MTV Dance on Easter Sunday at 9pm.

The chart will be created by music fans who vote, via the website, WAP or the interactive red button, for their favourite track from a playlist of 30 current tracks that are listed on www.mtv.co.uk/galaxychart. The playlist will be decided each week by MTV Dance in conjunction with Galaxy, and updated on a weekly basis. As well as the chart rundown the show will also feature a weekly dose of music news, exclusive videos and artist interviews, providing Sunday night TV relief for dance music enthusiasts.

Bringing together two leading music brands in the UK, The Galaxy Chart on MTV Dance aims to deliver the fastest reflection of what dance music fans in the UK want to hear. The show will be presented by Jo Good on MTV Dance, and by Dave Kelly on Galaxy. The first show will be filmed from the annual Winter Music Conference in Miami, with a number of special events confirmed for the year including Ibiza and music festivals. Confirmed guest interviews for the first two weeks include seminal dance music producers & DJ?s Armand Van Helden, Joey Negro, Deep Dish, DJ Sneak and Shapeshifters.

Jo Good?s astounding musical knowledge and her thirst for all things dance make her the natural choice to present The Galaxy Chart on MTV Dance. Her love of music and down-to-earth sense of humour led her instinctively to start her career in radio, where she presented her own morning show in Brighton. After seven years, she launched her TV career and co-hosted MTV?s TRL with Dave Berry & Alex Zane where she interviewed the likes of 50 Cent, Moby, Jude Law, Tom Cruise, Destiny?s Child and Kylie.

Presenter of ?Dance and R?n?B Extra? every Saturday and ?The Big Show? every weekday evening show across the Galaxy Network means Dave Kelly is more than qualified to present ?The Galaxy Chart?. Dave always wanted to be a TV cameraman, never a radio presenter, but once bitten by the bug there was no stopping him. After stints at other stations he joined Galaxy in 2001 and has since interviewed Sean Paul, Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake and Jamie Foxx, amongst others.
