Morgen (1 december) begint de top 2000 stemweek en als je me volgt weet je waarschijnlijk al wat ik je ga vragen te doen.

Het zou mij echt ontzettend gelukkig maken als we dit jaar K3 in de top 2000 krijgen en specifiek Oya Lélé.

Waarom?

Vind het leuk of niet, K3 is al 25 jaar een groot onderdeel van de Nederlandstalige cultuur. Ik durf te wedden dat bijna iedereen in Nederland wel een paar K3 nummers kent en toch staan ze niet in de top 2000 terwijl een super niche nummer als Tubular Bells, Part One dat 25 en een halve minuut duurt er wel in staat!

K3 viert dit jaar hun 25 jarig bestaan, Oya Lélé is zelf 20 jaar oud dit jaar K3 de top 2000 in stemmen is een goede manier om dit te vieren (en dit wordt ook de 25ste editie van de top 2000)

Eerder dit jaar heb ik op mijn side blog een toernooi gehouden voor het beste K3 nummer. Oya Lélé heeft dit met overmacht gewonnen, wat mij bevestigd in de keuze om campagne te voeren voor Oya Lélé

Oya Lélé heeft in 2003 ook 18 weken in de Nederlandse top 40 gestaan, het langst van alle K3 nummers

Stem K3 als wraak op Spotify omdat ze K3 blijven negeren in de Wrapped lijstjes

Tl;Dr: STEM OYA LÉLÉ DE TOP 2000 IN

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!!!!!!! LAST 5 MINUTES OF 2023!!!!!!

POV: the new year starts in half an hour and you are in The Netherlands

‘Gezellig’

🇳🇱 We hebben een traditie in Nederland genaamd Top2000. (Veel zullen dit ongetwijfeld wel kennen!) Dit is een lijst met de beste nummers aller tijden. De nummers worden uiteraard gekozen door de luisteraars.

Rammstein staat de afgelopen jaren al in de lijstjes, maar hoe gaaf zou het zijn om daar nog een nummer bij te krijgen?!

1 december is het tijd om te stemmen voor de top2000.

We willen Dicke Titten op de lijst krijgen. Dus vergeet niet te stemmen!🤘🏻

Stem dan laten we ze de krachtige humor van Rammstein laten zien 🔥

🇬🇧 We have a tradition in The Netherlands called Top2000. This is a list with the best songs of all time. The songs are ofcours chosen by the listeners. It's a very known happening here.

Rammstein is already included in the lists the past years, but how awesome would it be to get another song of them in there?!

1 December it's time to vote for the top2000.

We want to get Dicke Titten in the list. So don't forget to vote!🤘🏻

Let's show them the powerful humor of Rammstein 🔥

The results of the best K3 song bracket are known!

And the winner is... Oya lélé!!!

Tele-Romeo finished second and Alle Kleuren ended up in the third place. Hart verloren just fell out of the top 3 and ended up in fourth place.

And with this the competition is over, I posted the bracket first on March 22nd and the first polls the day after. That means it took over 3 months to determine the very best K3 song of all 4 generations. I had great fun seeing people campaigning for their favourite songs in the notes, why they think a certain song is better and occasionally sharing stories of times they performed one of these songs as a kid, so thanks to everyone who voted and/or reblogged some polls, some comments really made my day and I hope this tournament reminded you of some old songs or introduced you to some new ones.

Speaking of which, my next plans are to run 3 more tournaments to determine the best song of each non-og generation, because the og was (kinda understandably) overrepresented in this tournament and I thought it might be fun to give the other 3 formations a chance and some other people also liked this idea when I polled people a few weeks ago. So, ehm, keep posted for that I guess. It won't start immediately, because I am kinda busy atm and I need to figure out some logistics for the kkj generation (does de revolutie count as an og song or a kkj song??), so you might see me outsourcing some decisions through polls in the coming weeks.

Finally, now that I have your attention, I've been running a 2-year campaign to get K3 in the NPO radio 2 top 2000, and specifically Oya lélé and since Oya lélé did actually win this, I think I might be able to convince you to vote for Oya lélé as the K3 song representation of the top 2000, so if you would please consider voting for Oya lélé in 5 months and if possible try to convince other people to do so too, you would make me very happy. (Also because I do not have other social media so I can only campaign for it here)

Made my picks for our annual Top2000 again. This year the list consists mainly out of songs that got stuck in my head at some point during 2023.

Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky Dire Straits - Your Latest Trick Neil Diamond - Beautiful Noise Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat Elvis Presley - Burning Love The Moody Blues - Tuesday Afternoon Willie Nelson - Whiskey River Johnny Cash - General Lee Kraftwerk - The Model Cranberries - Dreams Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls Bob Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue Bruce Hornsby & The Range - The Way It Is The Shadows - Wonderful Land Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit Pixies - Monkey Gone To Heaven Bruce Springsteen - Tougher Than The Rest Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives Johnny Cash - I Got Stripes Nirvana - Lithium Massive Attack - Teardrop Procol Harum - Homburg R.E.M. - What's The Frequency, Kenneth? Boudewijn de Groot - De Vondeling Van Ameland Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Underworld - Born Slippy Guns N' Roses - November Rain Elbow - One Day Like This Neil Young - Harvest Moon Korn - Freak On A Leash Simon & Garfunkel - Mrs. Robinson Tame Impala - Let It Happen War On Drugs - Red Eyes Dua Lipa - Be The One The The - Uncertain Smile
