NRJ – Hits du Moment

Under the distinctive abbreviation NRJ, which is pronounced like “énergie” in French, the nationwide program from France broadcasts an uncompromising format that focuses entirely on the current Top-40 charts. Since its founding by Jean-Paul Baudecroux in 1981, the station has established itself as one of the most influential voices on the French airwaves and reaches a predominantly young audience with its musical orientation. The programming is consistently aligned with the latest state of international and national pop music, with transitions between tracks characterized by a fast, energetic sound design that keeps the focus unbroken on the current hit output.

Musically, the station covers the entire spectrum from mainstream pop through dance productions to urban influences. Alongside the presentation of current chart-toppers from the USA and the United Kingdom, French pop artists and electronic music find a permanent home in the playlist. The presentations serve as a link between the songs and are strongly focused on interaction with the listenership and accompaniment through the course of the day. Anyone looking for a high-frequency, here-and-now-focused music flow without longer spoken passages will find a precisely curated selection of the currently most-played tracks on the French market in this program.
