at in 1999 begon als een eenmalig evenement van Radio 2, is anno 2013 uitgegroeid tot het grootste muziekevenement van Nederland. De Top 2000 is hét bewijs dat er een blijvende behoefte is aan zowel een gezamenlijk canon van popmuziek als een omvangrijke hitlijst die niet alleen groeit en ontwikkelt, maar ook generaties ontstijgt en nog belangrijker: generaties verbindt. Maakt het nog uit wanneer een liedje gemaakt is? Nee. Wat telt is of een nummer goed gevonden wordt. Een zeventienjarige sluit Space Oddity van David Bowie net zo makkelijk in zijn hart als een 65-plusser die Keep Your Head Up van Ben Howard op repeat heeft staan. Pakkende songs zingen zich los van de tijd waarin ze gemaakt zijn. Ze zijn van en voor iedereen. Met elkaar vormen zij een caleidoscoop van herinneringen, weemoedige bespiegelingen van dierbare momenten , schokkende gebeurtenissen en onvergetelijke helden. Het Top 2000-album is als een station waarop generaties elkaar jaar na jaar treffen.
