Voting has started for the Dutch Top 2000, which will be broadcasted on Dutch radio during the last days of 2006. Let us try to make 'There is a light that never goes out' as the ultimate 'end of the year song' enter this list!

You can vote now by clicking on the link.

To vote do the following. You have to click on 'Begin nu met stemmen' (which means 'Start voting now'), to be found on the right side under 'Stap 4'. On the left side you see De Top 2000 keuzelijst (list of choices). You can find three Smiths-songs: Girlfriend in a Coma, Panic and Bigmouth Strikes Again. Click on one of them, click on the green button 'Voeg toe' (Add), and you see it appear in the empty box on the right. Do the same with the other two. You are obliged to select at least three titles from this list of choices. If you make a mistake, click on the red button ´Verwijder´(Delete) and the selected title disappears immediately. Of course you can choose more songs (from other artists), but not more than nine, because the maximum is ten and you need one choice for 'There is a light...', which isn't mentioned in this List of choices, but you can select one personal choice. To do this you have to click on the black icon 'Verder' (Continue) right down. The next page gives you the opportunity to vote for 'There is a light...' On the left you see two blank lines. Under 'Artiest' (Artist) you type ´Smiths´ and under 'Titel' (Title) 'There is a light that never goes out'. Then click on 'Voeg toe' (Add) and you see it appear on the right under 'Uw eigen keuze' (Your own choice). Click on 'Verder' (Continue) right down. If you wish you can explain in the empty box on the left why you like this song so very much. On the right you have to fill in (up to down) your name, email, address, postal code, city, date of birth and choose man (m) or woman (w). Click again on the black line 'Verder' (Continue) and your voting is finished! All that we can do, is hope for a good result. Please be aware that voting is possible till Friday the 24th of November. Let november spawn a beautiful monster into the Dutch Chart of all times!

  • I don't think you stand a chance with There Is A Light as it is not even pre-selected. Anything that is not on their pre-selection will not make the final list.

    But of course a boy can dream...

  • The dutch have there own good bands that will probably be more popular to them. Although Moz will have alot of fans there, bands like Golden Earring and Focus will win votes...in my opinion

  • By the way, as I heard last night on Radio 2, you can vote more than once.

    Happy voting!

  • It might be because the article isn't formatted properly, but just glancing at the voting procedure, it sure seems like a lot of work, particularly for someone who doesn't do Dutch. If I were you, I'd skip this and head over to the BBC Cultural Icon vote- now that one is easy.
