NPO Radio 2 is a public-service radio station from the Netherlands, broadcasting in an adult hits format, focusing on music from the 1980s to the 2010s and current hits, though 1960s and 1970s hits may also air. It is part of the Netherlands Public Broadcasting system, NPO. It can be compared with the BBC radio station of the same name.
Since the late 2010's, NPO Radio 2 has been one of the market share leaders among Dutch radio stations. During the first years of the 2020s, it competed against commercial station QMusic for the top spot. The station's annual top 2000 event regularly leads to a large market share for the station during December.[1][2]
