The Top 2000 is an annual marathon radio program, that plays the 2000 most popular songs of all time, from Christmas through New Year's Eve.[1][2] Hosted by Dutch national radio station Radio 2, over half of the population of the Netherlands listens to the broadcast each year.[3][4]
Starting in 1999, the Top 2000 was intended to be a one-time event, but due to the program's popularity, Radio 2 chose to make it an annual program, traditionally broadcast from midnight on Boxing Day and continuing until midnight of New Year's Eve. However, as of 2009, the show begins broadcasting at noon on December 25, Christmas Day.[5]
Voting
During the 6 to 7 day broadcast, the station broadcasts a set of 2000 songs that have been voted on by the show's audience via Internet voting to be the "most popular songs of all time". The first year of voting was limited to a set list of 2000 songs that the users ranked themselves, with Radio 2 changing the format in 2005 to allow voters to nominate their own choices. Radio 2 also used a different voting format for the tenth anniversary of Top 2000 in 2008, when they compiled the votes from the previous nine years to create a "jubilee list".
Other media
In 2002 Radio 2 added the television show Top 2000 a Gogo to the broadcast,[6] which showed performances, clips of various songs on the list, as well as interviews of performers. The following year they added Top 2000 in Concert, where various Dutch artists are invited to sing one of their favorite songs along with one of their own songs.[7] The concert is typically broadcast on New Year's Eve, right after the end of Top 2000.

Notable occurrences within the list
The song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen has traditionally been voted the most popular song on the countdown,[8] with Boudewijn de Groot's "Avond" achieving the top spot in 2005 and the Eagles' "Hotel California" doing the same in 2010 and 2014.[9] On 27 November 2015, it was announced that John Lennon with his song "Imagine" was voted number one of the list for the first time, in association with the piano act of Davide Martello after the November 2015 Paris attacks.
