Why do people in the Netherlands wake up at 3am to listen to the radio?

[@MartijnPennings]

My brother-in-law once sat at the dinner table at Christmas with the entire family with an ear piece. Listening to the Top2000...

[@Sylfege]

Haha very relatable. Top 2000 can cause some serious FOMO 😂

[@jan-jaapkoopman3212]

very entertaining and thorough explanation! 👍🏻

[@Jell0zz]

Why do SOME people, a dying breed I might add, care about the Top2000? We'll never know.. it's the same thing most years anyway.. Edit: I know of nobody in their right mind who actually wakes up for it, or in general doesn't have anything better to do.

Now that Serious Request is popular again, you can make a sequel to this video...

[@Sylfege]

Good idea! I was very surprised how well it did this year

[@thomaslyons4973]

nice one, I felt a lot of similarities to the yearly "hottest 100" in australia

[@Sylfege]

Oh cool! I’ll have to check that out :)

[@ItsMeNijntje]

i love this tradition hahaha im not as invested, but its a big part of the holidays for me! and the countdown on the 31 dec needs queen hahaha

[@Sylfege]

True, without Queen it’s not the new year ❤️

​@@Sylfege I do wish it would become tradition to vote something else for number one, similar to the UK, where the number 1 song during Christmas time is national news. But I'm afraid the tradition of voting for bohemian rhapsody is so embedded in the Top2000 it will probably never go away... Nowadays, the youngest people voting for the Top2000 know Bohemian rhapsody as the #1 song their entire lives.
