Since 1999, the Top 2000 is an annual marathon radio program, that plays the 2000 most popular songs of all time, from Christmas through New Year's Eve. Hosted by Dutch national radio station NPO Radio 2. Over half of the population of the Netherlands listens to the broadcast each year.

During the 6 to 7 day broadcast, the station broadcasts a set of 2000 songs that have been voted on by the show's audience via Internet voting to be the "most popular songs of all time". Voters can also nominate their own choices.

The song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen has traditionally been voted the most popular song on the countdown (21x).

Better Days by Dermot Kennedy enters the NPO Radio 2 Top 2000 of 2024 in sixth place. With their choice of this song in the list of lists, voters pay tribute to Eva Hermans-Kroot, who recently died of lung cancer. Better Days was her favorite song, because it gave her support during her illness. Eva Hermans-Kroot shared her story with the Netherlands in various media.
