Production[]

Production for this video took place in March 2005. This home video follows the same format as the video Can You Sing That Song?, with a fixed audience and a similar set. It is possible that Top 20 Countdown was filmed around the same time as that said video. The copyright for this video says "2008", implying that it was completed months before it was released.

Behind the scenes[]

Streaming[]

On April 1, 2022, the official Barney YouTube channel, managed by 9 Story Media Group at the time, uploaded Top 20 Countdown on the platform. The video uploaded by the channel came from a Barney fan upload on YouTube. When uploaded onto YouTube, the video was renamed to "Favourite SONGS". Top 20 Countdown was later included in the streaming package titled Barney & Friends Specials, alongside other Barney Home Videos, which was began streaming on Tubi on September 29, 2023.

Release[]

Top 20 Countdown was released at the price of $14.99, being originally distributed by HIT Entertainment and Lionsgate Home Entertainment.[1] According to the insert in the videos, Let's Go to the Beach and Let's Make Music, this video was originally called "Barney's Musical Countdown".

Trivia[]

Barney Top 20 Countdown Colouring Page

Coloring Page

  • This video marked:
    • The only appearances of Anna, Megan, Jeremy, Sammy, and Suzy.
    • The final appearance of Josh.
    • The final home video to have 3 dino characters in production order before Riff was added.
  • Brenna Demerson, who portrays Olivia on Barney & Friends, makes an uncredited cameo appearance. She can be seen as an audience member in the video.
  • Unlike the other songs where the titles are said after the number, Barney does not say the title of song number eighteen.
  • This video marks the first home video to use the "Barney Theme Song", since Shake Your Dino Tail!.
  • Since the video claims to have twenty songs in the countdown, the "Barney Theme Song" doesn't count as one of the songs.
  • In the Spanish dub, as well as the VCD release, the HIT Entertainment logo from 2001-2007 is used at the beginning and end.
    • It can be assumed that this video was released internationally first before being released in the US.
      • This also marks the first time a home video release was delayed in the US before its scheduled release date. The next two would be Best Fairy Tales which was released in 2010 and A Super-Dee-Duper Day which was released in 2014 despite them being produced and filmed in 2004 and 2009 respectively.
  • Compared to other home videos released during this time, the theme song was altered for this home video. Most notably, there are no sound effects like the ones heard during seasons seven through twelve of Barney & Friends and the background is changed to purple with CGI-animated pieces of confetti.
