Frequently asked questions
What is the best record of 2001 in the Dutch Top 40?
Played-A-Live (The Bongo Song) by Safri Duo tops the 2001 year chart, with 686 points from 25 weeks in the chart (peak position 2). The top 5: 1. Played-A-Live (The Bongo Song) (Safri Duo), 2. Fallin' (Alicia Keys), 3. Whole Again (Atomic Kitten), 4. Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me) (Train), 5. Can't Get You out of My Head (Kylie Minogue).
How is the 2001 year chart calculated?
Every weekly entry in 2001 earns points: 41 minus the position, so 40 points for a number 1 and 1 point for number 40. The sum of those points sets the order; on a tie the peak position counts, then the number of weeks, then the earliest week. Only the weeks of 2001 count, also for a record that entered the year before or stayed on into the next year.
Is the number 1 of the year chart also the record that spent longest at number 1?
Not necessarily. The year chart counts every week in the chart, including the weeks lower in the Top 40; a record that stayed high for a long time can therefore end above a shorter-lived number 1. The number ones of 2001, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 2001 year page.
How many weeks does the 2001 year chart cover?
51 weekly charts, with 290 different records between them, 17 of which reached number 1. Every week can be viewed separately from the year page.
