Music of the Millennium
Music of the Millennium was a nation-wide public survey conducted in the United Kingdom in 1999 by HMV music stores, in partnership with the Channel 4 television network and Classic FM radio. One of many culture-related surveys leading up to the new millennium, it polled listeners to decide the best music of the previous 1000 years. Around 600,000 people participated in the poll, making it the largest survey on popular music up to that time.

Respondents listed their choice of best artist or work in ten categories. The results were announced on 6 November and presented seven days later on Channel 4's three-hour TV special "Music of the Millennium". The Beatles, John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Madonna, Queen, Louis Armstrong, Mozart and Vivaldi each topped categories in the survey.
