SWR1 Hit Parade (Baden-Württemberg)

The SWR1 Hit Parade in Baden-Württemberg is an annual listener hit parade of the radio program SWR1 .

history

1989: Top 1000X

On the occasion of the station's 10th anniversary, SDR 3 broadcast the listener hit parade Top 1000X around the clock from 14 to 19 August 1989 , only interrupted by the news and advertising . Stefan Siller and Thomas Schmidt had the idea for this after reading the Guinness Book of Records that RIAS 2 broadcast the longest listener hit parade to date with 750 titles in 1987. With 1501 titles played, the Top 1000X set a new record. The voting took place by postcard, on which each listener could cast 10 votes.

The following titles were in the first ten places:

Interpreter	title	year	space
Led Zeppelin	Stairway to Heaven	1971	1
Pink Floyd	Wish You Were Here	1975	2
Dire Straits	Brothers in Arms	1985	3
The Rolling Stones	(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction	1965	4th
Queen	We are the champions	1977	5
The Beatles	Yesterday	1965	6th
Pink Floyd	Another brick in the wall	1979	7th
Roxette	The look	1989	8th
The Beatles	let it be	1970	9
Deep Purple	Smoke on the water	1972	10

The Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, which was in later editions in places 1 and 2, came in 1989 17 ranked the highest placed German language titles was here Alex comes from the Toten Hosen ranked 21st

1990: Top 2000 D

In August 1990, a few weeks before reunification , SDR 3 and the GDR youth radio DT64 jointly broadcast a listener hit parade Top 2000 D consisting of 2,000 tracks .

1994 to 2010

After a break of several years, the Top 1000 XL followed in 1994 in cooperation with radio programs from various European countries and in 1998 the hit parade Start ins Wildall on the occasion of the merger of SDR and SWF to form Südwestrundfunk .

In 1998, the following titles were in the first ten places:

Interpreter	title	year	space
The doctors	Men are pigs	1998	1
Led Zeppelin	Stairway to Heaven	1971	2
Celine Dion	My heart will go on	1997	3
Guano apes	Open your eyes	1997	4th
Pink Floyd	Wish You Were Here	1975	5
Metallica	Nothing Else Matters	1992	6th
Guildo Horn	Guildo loves you!	1998	7th
Van Halen	Jump	1984	8th
Herbert Grönemeyer	Men	1984	9
Madonna	Frozen	1998	10

Three charts followed without a listener vote:

1999: Top 1000 - the calculated hit parade of the century (calculated from charts)
2001: Top Seventies - 450 tracks, calculated from charts from the 1970s
2002: 50 years, 50 hours, 500 hits - calculated from the hits most often played on the radio

In 2003, the hit parade was no longer broadcast in SWR3 , but for the first time in SWR1 and again calculated as the result of the audience vote, with the 500 tracks with the most votes being played. In 2004 the votes were evaluated separately for men and women (among the voting listeners), in 2005 they were evaluated separately for listeners' votes from Baden and Württemberg . In 2006 the artist hit parade followed , in which each artist was only played with the most popular title; the ranking was calculated from the total number of votes for all of the artist's titles.

Since 2007, the hit parade has been determined without such special evaluations. After changing names up to then, the name SWR1 Hitparade has been used since 2010 . But the length still varied from year to year. In 2007 700 titles were played, in 2008 there were 1,000 titles, in 2009 there were 1,111, and in 2010 there were 808 titles.

Since 2011

procedure

The SWR1 hit parade for Baden-Württemberg has been following the following sequence since 2011: Voting takes place at the beginning of October mainly on the SWR website. In addition, it is also possible to vote by phone on individual days. Several thousand titles are suggested on the website; other titles can also be selected using the free input. The hit parade is broadcast at the end of October, 4½ days around the clock from 5 a.m. on Monday to Friday evening (interrupted by news, advertising and the three-minute short sermon impetus ), with a little over 1000 titles being played (but a list is provided after the broadcast has ended the Top 2000 published). There are 6 moderators who moderate in teams of two for 6 hours each. The final will be broadcast live from the final party from the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle and moderated by all six moderators.

While there was a changing number of equally weighted votes until 2012 (five votes since 2007), the voting mode was changed in 2013. Since then each listener has 5 voices with different weights. The 1st selected title receives 5 points, the 2nd 4 points, the 3rd 3 points, the 4th 2 points and the 5th one point. Since 2017, the hit parade is no longer broadcast from the Funkhaus am Neckartor, but from the Stuttgart TV tower .

In some cases, the tracks are not played exactly in the order in which they were placed, but rather long tracks are played at a point in time before or after, so that the news can always run on the hour. At 25 minutes and 28 seconds, Tubular Bells Part 1 by Mike Oldfield from 1973 is the longest title that can regularly be placed in the charts.

The chosen title Hitparädle , the Swabian belittling form of Hitparade , symbolizes that it is the "little sister" of the SWR1 Hitparade. As with the "regular" hit parade, listeners were able to vote on the SWR website and nominate up to five titles for each issue, but these had to match the motto of the respective issue. The top 40 titles were then played on the SWR1 - Der Abend from 8 p.m. to midnight, with the number of titles played varied greatly from issue to issue. After the broadcast, the TOP 200 were published as a PDF document on the SWR website (see above) and as a playlist on Spotify. From episode 4, Patrick Neelmeier from the home office in Hamburg was connected, while a second presenter was in the broadcast studio in Stuttgart.
