I make this thread for those of us who are interested in those typical end of the year polling charts that show up every end of the year. I don’t know if this is a thing in all countries but it is a very popular thing in Belgium and Holland. If you know any 2021 lists of other countries feel free to post them here.
Today I will post the list of the biggest radio station of Holland which currently is broadcasting their all time top 2000 songs as voted by the listeners.
Here you can see the artists with most entries this year. Michael is in good company here and it very well represented. He had 2 entries less in the list compared to last year. For those interested “rivals” Madonna had just 5 songs in the list, Prince 12, George Michael 17 and Elton John 13. Michael himself had no entries as part of the Jackson 5 or Jacksons which is surprising.
These are Michael’s placings:
136 Billie Jean dropped 9 spots
182 Earth Song dropped 7 spots
213 Thriller dropped 22 spots
254 Man in the Mirror dropped 30 spots
363 Beat It dropped 20 spots
448 Smooth Criminal rose 4 spots
452 They Don’t Care About Us rose 230 spots
610 Dirty Diana dropped 65 spots
692 Heal the World dropped 61 spots
704 Ben dropped 144 spots
846 Black or White dropped 122 spots
1179 The Way You Make Me Feel dropped 227 spots
1259 Human Nature dropped 65 spots
1307 Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough dropped 111 spots
1347 Bad rose 177 spots
1595 Wanna Be Startin Something rose 130 spots
1597 Off the Wall dropped 1 spot
1697 Rock With You rose 13 spots
1765 Will You Be There dropped 93 spots
1841 Stranger in Moscow dropped 135 spots
So despite a great number of entries the general trend continues of Michael mostly dropping lots of spots, even losing 2 songs compared to last year ( PYT and Love Never Felt So Good).
I remember in 2009 he had over 30 entries (incl his brothers) with billie jean, thriller and earth song in the top 100.
