Hot 20 Countdown was a weekly live music video show that focused on the twenty most popular country music videos. It featured a live audience, in-studio performances, and interviews with artists. The series first premiered on January 5, 2013, and aired on Saturday mornings, replacing the long-running Top Twenty Countdown. The show was similar in format to CMT Most Wanted Live, which also featured a countdown of popular videos.
The program was a part of CMT's music programming lineup and provided viewers with a countdown of trending country videos. It was a staple for country music fans and ran for multiple seasons, with the most recent season ending in 2017. Its runtime was approximately 177 minutes per episode.
