The Fusic Chart: Join Dean Webster and Matt Sharp for the countdown of the official fuse fm top 20! We count down the hottest 20 hits on Fuse FM right now and throw in a few of the other hottest songs from genres outside the main top 20! Its the chart show you control, so get involved!
Undercover with Chelsea Dickenson: We take a look at the best, the worst and the quite simply bizarre cover versions that have hit our eardrums in recent years.
PopTarts: Vicky Bond and Nicki Christophe bring you all things sugary with sweet pop music and even sweeter chat; bringing you the best of pop culture and music while channeling our inner tartdom. 
The Record Player: Join Clifford Fleming and Ingrid Arctander Rosenlund on a journey back in time, before people used the internet; before Google and iTunes. The Record Player takes you on a journey from the 1930s up to the 1970s. We will follow how our grandparents grew up with music and how music started to shape the world. The Record Player will not only focus on music but culture, history and art too. Be ready to take a step back in time.
