MeleTOP

MeleTOP (sometimes stylised MeleTop) is a Malaysian television infotainment talk show and variety show, aired every Tuesday on Astro Ria. The name of the show is a play on the Malay word "meletup", meaning "explosive". MeleTOP first aired in 2012, with host Neelofa and Nabil Ahmad as hosts. The program is broadcast live, and was performed before a studio audience until March 2020, when it was recorded in an empty studio due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The video was intended to parody Malaysian singer Yuna and African-American singer Usher performing the song "Crush", in Philadelphia, which had drawn criticism in Malaysia for the pair hugging on stage. Neelofa left the show in December 2019, with an announcement during the programme, surprising the audience and her co-host. In 2022, the series celebrates 10th anniversary, and at the same time, former TV3 personality, Hawa Rizwana became the new co-host of the series, replacing Neelofa who left in 2019. == Hosts ==

MeleTOP and Astro Radio-owned Malay radio station ERA jointly hold the annual "Anugerah MeleTOP ERA" (MeleTOP ERA Awards), which awards prizes based on public voting in several categories in music, film, and television entertainment. The awards have been held annually since 2014, with the 2013 awards being held in February 2014. In 2017, Neelofa, who was one of the hosts of the awards program, won the Top Top Meletop main award for a female celebrity. In 2018, while again hosting the program, she won four awards, for best fashion, television actress, television drama, and Top Top Meletop. Neelofa acknowledged that many Malaysians questioned her winning at the same time she hosted, but said that there was no impropriety since the awards were determined by fans, not by the show. == References ==
