2. The Chase – Di-rect
The Hague is what Liverpool is in the UK, or Los Angeles in the US: the home of homegrown pop and rock music. It started back in the 1960s with successful recording acts such as the Blue Diamonds and the Golden “Radar Love” Earring, and these days the Hague is still the Netherlands’ number one rock town. Anouk lives there, as does Di-rect, probably the Netherlands’ most successful rock band. “The Chase” is from their forthcoming album.

8. 1000 Voices – The Voice of Holland
It’s one of the biggest TV hits worldwide this year: The Voice. Yes, it’s another talent show, but with a twist. And like other TV classics like Big Brother and The Phone, it originated here in the Netherlands. The second season started this weekend and to celebrate, the celebrity judges got together to record this single. They are Marco Borsato, Nick & Simon, Angela Groothuizen and Roel van Velzen.

10. Try my love again – Shary-An
Shary-An is one of many talents to emerge from last season’s The Voice of Holland. She didn’t win, but she already had two hits on the Dutch singles chart, and ‘Try my love again’ is the third. A soulful disc with a great ‘60s feel to it – proving that yes, The Voice of Holland really did give us a couple of great new talented artists.
