Qmusic Netherlands is one of the most popular stations in Netherlands. Broadcasting from Amsterdam, it delivers non-stop hits from the 80s, 90s, 2000s and today
Qmusic is a dynamic Dutch commercial radio station based in Amsterdam, launched on August 31, 2005, and owned by DPG Media (formerly De Persgroep).
It quickly rose in popularity with its energetic, feel-good approach: short, punchy talk segments, recent hit songs, and standout morning shows.
Music & Format
Qmusic follows a CHR / Hot AC format — a blend of chart-topping contemporary hits spanning the 1980s to today.
It’s the kind of station that keeps the energy high with pop, dance, and rhythmic tunes.
The slogan “You make us Q” (since 2015) reflects its listener-focused identity, taking over from earlier taglines like “Q is good for you”.
A top contender in listener share, Qmusic regularly ranks among the most popular stations, especially within the 10+ demographic — reaching about 2.8 million listeners per week and an average of 3 hours daily.
Iconic Shows & Fan Favorites
- “Het Geluid”, an interactive game that brings listeners into the action.
- The much-loved “Foute Uur”, complete with seasonal spin-offs like the Foute 111 and Top 500, celebrate the “so-bad-it’s-good” hits that fans adore.
- Since 2018, The Top 40 Awards have become a highlight, bringing live performances and honoring local and international artists.
Why Qmusic Stands Out
- A consistent hit-packed, feel-good format that resonates with a broad, youthful audience.
- Iconic listener-engagement programs like “Het Geluid”, “Foute Uur”, and The Top 40 Awards.
- Strong, growing presence both on-air and digitally.
- Versatile yet polished—balancing pop trends with interactive radio fun.
