Classic 100 Music in the Movies

In 2013, the Australian radio station ABC Classic FM held a Classic 100 Music in the Movies countdown.

The selection of works that was available in the survey was determined between 15 April and 26 April 2013 (with the public being able to add works to the list initiated by the station). Voting (by the public) for the finalised list of works was held between 3 May and 17 May 2013, and the countdown was broadcast from 7 to 10 June 2013.
