The show was initially hosted by Ophélie Winter and Yves Noël until June 1995, before being replaced by Charly Nestor and Jean-Marc Lubin (known collectively as Charly and Lulu). They presented the show for several seasons until being replaced by Pierre Matthieu in September 2008 following a ratings decline, until its end in 2009. It aired music videos and performances of some of the week's best-selling popular music records.{{cite web|url=http://jeanmarcmorandini.tele7.fr/article-18435.html|title=Pierre Mathieu prend les commandes du Hit Machine sur M6|language=French|accessdate=26 August 2023|publisher=Jean-MarcMorandini.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080904230216/http://jeanmarcmorandini.tele7.fr/article-18435.html|archivedate=4 September 2008|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=https://www.purepeople.com/15756-Hit-Machine-le-naufrage-d-un-programme-historique-.html|title=Hit Machine : le naufrage d'un programme historique...|language=French|date=22 September 2008|accessdate=26 August 2023|work=Pure People|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080924095605/https://www.purepeople.com/15756-Hit-Machine-le-naufrage-d-un-programme-historique-.html|archivedate=24 September 2008|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.purepeople.com/article/m6-sauve-le-hit-machine_a25837/1|title=M6 sauve le...
