Radio 2 listeners have spoken. For them is Music by the recently deceased John Miles the biggest hit of all time. The song ended up in first place in the Radio 2 Top 2000 and thus bumped into its predecessor Bohemian rhapsody from the throne. Fortunately, the listeners of Qmusic voted the song into first place in the Q-Top 1000. And then it ended up on the prize podium of De timeloze too.

At the beginning of this month, the starting signal for what is likely to be a new tradition was given on Radio 2. The top 2000, an extra long list with the – according to the listeners – greatest hits of all time. The first place was taken on Friday evening by Music, in tribute to John Miles, who died at the age of 72. For many, the number is inextricably linked with Night of the proms.
Queen had to give up on Miles. Bohemian rhapsody, in the previous year-end list of Radio 2 no less than ten times the winner, finished in second place. Fortunately, Freddie Mercury and co. comfort to the listeners of Qmusic, who awarded the legendary song the first place of the Q-Top 1000. There it hit Live life of Coldplay from the throne. Although Chris Martin and his companions have little reason to complain. The song still took bronze, and with 16 listings, they are the most frequent band on the list.
And then there was also the closing of De timeloze at Studio Brussel. There was also a shift. After six years of sole rule of Black of Pearl Jam became The chain of Fleetwood Mac the number one. Pearl Jam had to settle for second place. In third place was, well, Queen. Of Bohemian rhapsody.
