 TOP 1°° OF ALL TIMES
As a special Christmas bonus we print a Top 100 Of All Times and although this phenomenon is used by various European Radio Stations, we believe Radio
Veronica Holland came with the idea first. Already back in 1968 Radio Veronica, then still a pirate station in the North Sea, introduced this highly interesting
by the Stichting Top 40,
- list, always broadcasts as a major show at the end of the year. This year they present the 14th edition, which again is prepared
compiling from thousands of returned postcards. -
Of that first Top 100 only 4 records are still charted in this year's Top 100: A Wider Shade Of Pale, House Of The Rising Sun, Satisfaction and Hey Jude.
Although some tracks showing in the Top 100 are Dutch from origin (such as Golden Earring's Radar Love and Twilight Zone, Oerend Hard from Dutch
farmers band Normaal, Vandenburg's Burning Heart and Shocking Blue's Venus), the rest is internationallyknown material. All Is suitable for your
programming. After being no. 1 for nine years, Deep Purple's Child In Time is now set back to no. 2 by Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. We note that some
rock acts like Led Zeppelin and The Stones, Rod Stewart and Nazareth are represented by their most soft and romantic tunes. Famous names like The
Beatles, The Stones, Queen, Deep Purple, Eagles, etc. are all represented by two of their most well known tracks but winner this year is David Bowie, who
has 4 tracks (including one duet with Queen) in this list. We would appreciate hearing from those dj's using a Top 100 Of All Times.
