De stemmen zijn geteld en de Top 2000 van 2018 is uitgebracht door NPO Radio 2. De twintigste editie van de zelfverklaarde ‘lijst der lijsten’. Iedereen zal de gehate lijst kennen vanwege het eeuwige Bohemian Rhapsody van Queen of Hotel California van Eagles dat gedraaid wordt tijdens de jaarwisseling, maar ieder jaar lijkt de Nederlandse muziekluisteraar toch wat verstand te bezitten. Tussen alle tenenkrommende Nederlandstalige muziek of sufgespeelde klassiekers zit er namelijk ook altijd wat metal in de lijst. Zware Metalen heeft de eerloze taak op zich genomen om ruim honderd hardere krenten uit de slappe pap te vinden, zodat je weet wanneer je veilig de radio aan kunt zetten:
