In the Netherlands we have a famous nonstop radio program of the 2000 best songs of all time from christmas to the beginning of the new year, voted by the public. I like listening to it, but I’m always bothered by how little diversity there is in the list. It’s all mostly old rock, and there’s almost no people of colour in it. Most of the songs are in english as well and just a few in dutch. We have a large north African population in the Netherlands so where is Cheb Khaled? And we have a large Turkish population so where is Tarkan? And there’s not enough hiphop. Kendrick and De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig need to have more songs in there.
But at least Hind’s Hall by Macklemore got in, at place 822, and it’s being played tonight between 10 and 11 o’clock local time. You can listen at nporadio2.nl
They censored the webcam lobby lol. Pathetic.
I try to get people like Hef or Fresku or Winne & Feis in there every year but it doesn’t work. It’s a white people’s list.
They also didn’t introduce the song or talk about it at the end. They simply let it play and ignored it. The dj is Moroxcan so I expected more of him.
