iHeartRadio Countdown is a globally-syndicated, independent song countdown radio program. The countdown is based on the popular iHeartRadio, an Internet radio platform owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. (formerly Clear Channel Broadcasting, Inc.) The show premiered on January 14, 2014 on selected iHeartMedia-owned stations, and is syndicated by Premiere Networks and ARN in Australia. Internationally, the show airs on Shanghai's KFM 98.1 and the Cayman Islands' X107.1.

As of 2018, the iHeartRadio Countdown is currently aired in two editions: the CHR edition (hosted by KIIS-FM’s JoJo Wright since 2018; previously it was hosted by Romeo since its launch) and the Hot AC edition (hosted by Mario Lopez).

On December 26, 2013, iHeartRadio launched a similar "Top Songs of the Year" which was broadcast on Clear Channel-owned CHR stations (such as Z100 New York, KIIS-FM Los Angeles, etc.) in comply to those stations' year end charts from the previous years, usually before New Year's Day.[1] From 2014-2017, the top 100 songs were counted down, but after JoJo Wright took over as host in 2018 it was reduced to 50 songs, and in 2022 it was reduced again to 40 songs. No. 1 songs each year (beginning with the launch year, 2013) are:
