The full Dutch top 2000 as of the year 2021 has been released.

Link to the Dutch top 2000 ...

They'll actually start to play the list in reverse order beginning on Christmas Day. I usually tune in for a bit of it during the holiday. There's a button on the site and the audio quality is quite good. The video feed usually shows 2 or 3 DJs and a small crowd milling around the station.

The audience for the show is estimated at 10 million listeners.

There are some interesting choices on the list.
Both Metallica and Pearl Jam are in the top 10.
Golden Earring's Radar Love was in the top 10 for the first time ever. Voted up as a tribute to lead guitarist George Kooymans who is seriously ill.
'A Whiter Shade of Pale' by Procol Harum made it to number 3 on the strength of calls to vote for the song as a tribute to Peter R. de Vries, the crime reporter, who was shockingly assassinated this year.
But the rest of the choices in the top 10 have all been there before, and Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen has been the top choice for 18 of the last 23 years.

It's interesting to see what's popular in Holland and what is not. Some of the top choices for various bands wouldn't be the top choice in the USA or Canada, but they are good choices all the same.
Top Pink Floyd - Wish You were Here at #13.
Top Deep Purple - Child in Time at #15.
Top Bruce Springsteen - The River at #16
Queen has 8 songs in the top 100, 35 songs in the entire list.
Pink Floyd has 4 songs in the top 100
Bruce Springsteen has 23 songs in the top 2000; Bob Dylan has only 6.
Surprising to see Michael Kiwanuka's 'Cold Little Heart' recent song all the way up at #49.
Top song for Rihanna - #1367
Beyonce - #727
Drake - did not place.
Rammstein - 6 songs with Du Hast at #140, Deutschland at #147.
Justin Bieber - #1773.
