V.A. Top 2000-The 80's

The Radio 2 Top 2000 is the largest annual radio event in The Netherlands. The audience of Radio gets to vote for their favourite all-time songs. These (literally) millions of votes come together in the Top 2000, All these 2000 songs are broadcast back to back from Christmas until a few minutes before New Years Eve, when they air the No.1 of the chart. Radio 2 Top 2000 - The 80’s focuses on all the music from the list which saw the light in this fantastic decade. The 1980s saw the emergence of dance music and new wave, but also glam metal, thrash metal, hip-hop, and R&B. This album includes classics by Queen, Simple Minds, The Clash, Run-D.M.C., Level 42, Rush, and Elton John. The Top 2000 bridges the gaps between all musical generation from the Sixties to the present, making it the most eclectic chart out there, and keeping more that half of the country glued to their radio day and night for the whole week it’s broadcast. And with a daily TV spin-off during its broadcast, it has reached an even bigger audience.
