MB STUDIO PRO's AGENDA allows you to publish the TOP 40 ranking of the most played songs on your radio or TV station's website.

The ranking is based on the number of hits a song has received: 2025-08-29_002832.png So the more a song is played, the higher it climbs the ranking.

You can choose the name of the HTML page, the FTP server number, and optionally specify a music genre to filter the list.

  1. An FTP access to your website must exist or be created where you can upload the pages. CONFIGURATION - WEB EXPORT - FTP
  2. Create a new item in the Agenda - internal command - Export TOP 40 list
  3. In Optional parameter, you can specify up to 3 fields separated by semicolons;
  4. The first field is the name of the web page to create. It must be a unique name without accents, spaces, punctuation, or anything else, and must have a .html extension (e.g., listatop40.html, listadance.html, listarock.html, etc.)
  5. The second field is the number of the FTP server to use CONFIGURATION - WEB EXPORT - FTP
  6. The third field is the music genre to filter the songs by (e.g., dance or rock). For hitlists, write hitlist

Some examples:

top40.html;0 - exports the top40.html page to an FTP server 0 with the ranking of the most played songs.

top40hitlist.html;0;hitlist - exports the top40hitlist.html page to an FTP server 0 with the ranking of the most played hitlist songs.

dancelist.html;4;dance - exports the dancelist.html page to an FTP server 4 with the ranking of the most played dance songs.

If you leave the box blank, MBStudio uses default top40.html;0

The list includes a maximum of 40 songs.


Here is an example: https://www.mbradio.it/it/mb-radio-hitlist


This function creates an HTML page with default graphics; you cannot change anything graphically. The background color of the songs is the one you set in Settings \ Songs \ Options.

However, if you wish, you can prepare a graphic template file of your choice and pass it to MB STUDIO.

In this case, MB STUDIO will search your template for the following wildcards:

  • %item1% to %item40% This field will be replaced by artist - song title (or another format you set in configuration \ songs \ options \ Filter)
  • %artist1% to %artist40% If you prefer to manage the artist and title on separate lines, use this field instead of %item%.
  • %title1% to %title40%If you prefer to manage the artist and title on separate lines, use this field instead of %item%. field
  • %cover1% to %cover40% MB STUDIO will replace this wildcard with the name of the cover file.

It is not mandatory to use 40 wildcards; if you prefer a shorter list, you can use fewer.

Your template file must be located in the MBStudio\Html folder and must have the same name you entered in the agenda parameter.

If MB STUDIO does not find it, or does not find wildcards in the file, it will ignore it and produce the top 40 with its default graphics.

The template can have any valid web extension (html, php, txt). In the agenda field, correctly enter the file name, including its extension.

Example of HTML code displaying the position number 1:

<tr style="background-color:#0E303E; color:#00CC00;">
<th style="text-align: right; vertical-align:middle; font-weight:bold; font-size:24px; padding:8px;">1</th>
<th><img src="/%cover1%" alt="Cover1"
style="width:100%; max-width:190px; height:auto; display:block; margin-top:4px;"></th>
<th><span style="display:block; font-weight:500; font-size:20px; margin-bottom:4px;">%artist1%</span>
<span style="display:block; font-weight:300; font-size:16px; color:#00A300;">%title1%</span></th></tr>

Note the use of %cover1% to display cover 1 and %artist1% and %title1% to display the artist and title of song #1 on separate lines.
