Gempak Most Wanted (GMW) is Malaysia's premier weekly music countdown, hosted on the Gempak portal and broadcast on Astro channels. Launched as a platform to celebrate Malaysian musical talent, GMW has grown into the country's most recognised music chart with millions of fans participating in weekly voting.
The GMW chart is updated every week based on public votes submitted through the Gempak portal and official voting platforms. Fans who are logged in to their Gempak account can cast votes for their favourite artists and earn loyalty points that can be redeemed for exclusive fan merchandise and event tickets.
Every year, the top-performing artists from the weekly GMW charts compete for recognition at the prestigious GMW Awards ceremony. The awards are broadcast live on Astro and streamed on the Gempak portal, making it one of the most-watched entertainment events in Malaysia.
Gempak Most Wanted covers a wide range of Malaysian music genres including pop, hip-hop, R&B, rock, and traditional music. The inclusive chart format ensures that artists from diverse musical backgrounds have the opportunity to be recognised by Malaysia's music-loving public.
