BBC News Countdown 90 seconds

Original track.

[asumani]

This always reminds me of my father. He used to listen to BBC Africa and this would play every time there's news and for sure it's absolute phenomenal

[Sebastian-sefi]

Excellent intro. Perhaps even the greatest intro the BBC ever had.

[mubader]

This is amazing music theme, the repeated tone is accurately on true seconds beats, and that tone change in the last 10 seconds is perfect.

I love this countdown. Never get tired of it and converted it in MP3 to use it as a ringtone on my mobile ! 😊❤

[i-am-the-peas]

The BBC always has to drop a banger before announcing that a chicken was killed in a car crash

[lovemakestheworldgoround]

This is a sheer genius composition! Best signature tune on tv anywhere! Love the full version! 😁

[ogenmungufred]

Great sound! I use it to time my students during tidying up in class...😊

[FirstNameLastName-hahaha]

I've added this several times into my exercise playlists as a rest/recovery .. always enjoy getting to it

[Honeyblonde-xt]

A vibe .a true banger wish it was longer

[DeyuAndreyu]

Playing this at 11:58:30 PM (1, 5 minutes before the birthday) will be a super-hype moment.

[TimmyTheTinman]

This and the countdown would be excellent intro music for a football team intro right before they come onto the field.

[suvrakanti]

And then hard hard Brexit epic music bravo

[petertenthije]

This reminds me a lot of the BBC series Spooks (aka MI5). Itches several sound cues from that series.

[pwermlon]

hope you all know this is the highest quality there is

[_bpm_]

0:38 and 0:42 - the staccato strings were not heard in the 90 seconds version of the World News countdown which was never used on TV anyway

[mallguy]

They should do this for one of the Hollywopd Game Night games when you have 90 seconds to guess as many words as you can.

[RADIS]

"9 People died in a car accident"

[kevinkarhan]

once your hearing is good enough you can't unhear MP3 compression artifacts, like the strings being interrupted for the beep at ca. 0:39...

[gummybear]

Beep beep beep, is there any life out there?

[tomhong]

Made me remember listening when we was in VN
