English summary

Eeuwige lijst can be translated to eternal list in English. More than any other country the Dutch seem to have a tradition with "all time charts". At least 8 radio stations in the Netherlands boraodcast their list, mostly in the months before christmas en new year's day. The charts are voted for by the listeners of these radio stations. The NPO (sort of the Dutch BBC) sent a top 2000 at the end of 1999 and it proved to be a succes. So they repeated it every year since then.  Other stattions followed. The tradition goes further back. Already as early as 1967 Veroncia played an all time top 100.

In this list I merge all these lists to one list. On every list since it started songs can earn points. Number one gets 500 points, number two 499 and so  on. For number 500 there is 1 point left. All the points a song has earned are added and they are the base for this list.

Whit one aditional criterion: Each song is only allowed 10 entries on each of the 8 lists. This way newer songs also can take their chance.

Eversince I started this site has grown and consists of more pages. You can listen to every list on Spotify. You'll find the main list here. But I adjusted more list. Though the explanation of each list is in Dutch, you'll have no trouble finding out about them. Google trnaslates everything into English. And of course you invitd to come and listen for yoor self.
