Bon Jovi - Top 2000
 

Aloha !

It's the end of the year and I'm sure many radio stations will come up with their Top xxxx like always. Here in Holland, 8 years ago a Dutch radio station called Raido 2 started doing their Top 2000. They let listeners go through their playlist and let them select 10 of their favorite songs of all time.

A few days ago their was an article about this in the news here in Holland. Some Newspaper asked their readers to vote for a Christian song and a song from some folk singer out of the area the newspaper was from and started plugging the song, which resulted in a top 10 notification, while a year before both songs ended at place 1560 or something like that.

My idea is to do sort of the same for Bon Jovi. Last year, 4 songs ended up in the Top 2000.

112 - Bed Of roses
330 - Always
392 - It's My Life
671 - Livin' On A Prayer

Be aware that Radio 2 is an AC station, which is probably why Livin' On A Prayer isn't that high in the list and Bed Of Roses is. I was wondering though, that if everyone here would go for Livin' On A Prayer, the song might end up a lot higher. Just wondering.

- Double click in the left field to select it, double click on the right field to remove it. When being done, select "Verder".
- If you want to submit a song that wasn't listed, you can do this now. When done, select "Verder".
- Waarom is deze plaat zo mooi? Means "Why do I like this song so much?" You can actually tell your story in English, since they're aware that they do have listeners from other countries".

I don't care what other songs you pick as long as Livin' On A Prayer is in there. I know, it might not be your favorite, but to make this work, we all need to go for the same song. This is not some topic about getting Bon Jovi back in the charts, but merely me wondering if it really helps plugging a song like this. So we'll see. :)

just for that i'll do the effort... but prayer has been higher few years back hasn't it?

Do they then go on to play all 2000 songs? or just post the list? or what?

Yeah they play all the songs.

oh right. that must take a while!

A classic rock (q104.3) station here does something like that.
Prayer is usually pretty high up, which is ironic because the station doesn't play much Jovi

yeah in the uk Virgin radio does a top 500 from listener's votes. jovi normally features a few times.

edit: this is last year's
69. Living On A Prayer
209. You Give Love A Bad Name
368. Wanted Dead Or Alive
486. Always

and they spend the week in between christmas day and new years day playing the songs.

I think just 3 days, 24 hours a day. Between christmas and new-year's.
But I downloaded the whole 2000 song once and put it on my ipod. Its easy when its available

Actually, in looking at q104.3's list (they do it this Thanksgiving week) there's more Jovi songs than usual:
It's My Life~1005
Bad Medicine~857
You Give Love A Bad Name~736
Have a Nice Day~617
Born To Be My Baby~382

The countdown's not over yet, so I'll let you know if/when more songs go up.

hmm it's quite interesting to see the different songs that are picked out by the different countries.
