Dutch Radio 2 Top 2000: The List, The Book, The Cd...

The song(s) they're playin' on the radio...

I'm sure our Dutch members are already familiar with this, but it's worth a mention here just the same.

Dutch Radio station Radio 2 recently celebrated ten years of their TOP 2000 annual listeners poll with a special all time TOP 2000.

Needless to say, David Bowie featured heavily and here's the list of Bowie tracks (and related) with their positions in the all time TOP 2000 list according to listeners of the station...

David Bowie - "Heroes" - 112
Lou Reed - Perfect Day - 115
David Bowie - Space Oddity - 156
David Bowie & Queen - Under Pressure - 376
David Bowie & Tina Turner - Tonight (live) - 463
Iggy Pop - Lust For Life - 527
Lou Reed - Walk On The Wild Side - 533
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust - 715
David Bowie - Let's Dance - 895
David Bowie - China Girl - 930
David Bowie - Ashes To Ashes - 989
David Bowie & Mick Jagger - Dancing In The Street - 967

David Bowie - Fame - 1812
Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes - 1972 (Which coincidentally reached the same position as the year in which it was released!)

All sorts of merchandise has been made available via the TOP 2000 website, including the Dutch language book above with a two-page Ziggy Stardust spread and a 10 CD box set that has some Bowie content, though I'm not sure what that is specifically.

David Bowie has always had a fiercely loyal following in The Netherlands and this poll is further proof of that. Thanx to BowieNetter 051060 for the pointer.
