Gestmusic Endemol, part of Endemol Shine Iberia, has been commissioned to produce a new prime-time entertainment series for TVE in Spain, entitled The Best Song Ever Sung.
Looking for the greatest song of all time, each episode of this transmedia series will focus on a different decade. It will begin online and on social media, where the audience selects their favorite song of that era. In a live studio show, a cast of talented performers makes a case for the top song. Viewers, comedians and experts share their opinions and memories of the time when the song was a hit. The series ends with an event finale where viewers vote for <em>“The Best Song Ever Sung.”</em> Gestmusic is also behind talent format Your Face Sounds Familiar, which has sold to 39 markets.
Tinet Rubira, managing director of Gestmusic and executive producer, said: <em>“The Best Song Ever Sung has a fantastic mix of music, entertainment and nostalgia, all wrapped in a live studio show with huge audience participation through the shows unique app. The format has been driven by our success with multiplatform hit Operación Triunfo and entertainment blockbuster Your Face Sounds Familiar and we hope this new series will be equally popular.”</em>
