Who is number 1 in the Drenthe 1000 this year? Will it be Deadly Silence from Mooi Wark again? Or Here I Come Away by Daniël Lohues? Or will we get a new number 1? The answer to that question will have to wait a while because first we have to vote.
All votes together create a unique list, says editor-in-chief Martin van der Veen: “What makes the Drenthe 1000 so special is of course all the regional music it contains. Last year, eighty percent of the top 100 consisted of songs by artists from the region, interspersed with the greatest hits of all time. We are already looking forward to the end of December.”
Because in the last week of the year that list of 1000 songs is broadcast on Radio Drenthe. From December 24 to 31 we will play the most beautiful songs according to Drenthe.
On New Year’s Day around 5.55 p.m. we will play number 1. Van der Veen does not care who that will be: “It would be great if Mooi Wark manages to finish at the top again. But Jannes, Hannah Mae, or Daniël Lohues are also very welcome. We’ll see!”
