Top 30 (sometimes called Radio 2 Top 30 or VRT Top 30), is a Belgian weekly record chart compiled by the VRT network, and broadcast every Saturdays on Radio 2. The chart was also known as the BRT Top 30 until 1992. It debuted on 2 May 1970, with Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum as the first number-one song.
It was the preeminent music industry standard chart of Flanders (Dutch speaking side of Belgian community) until January 1995, when it was replaced by the newly created Ultratop 50. However the Top 30 continues to be compiled to the present day, and as such it has become the longest running music chart in Belgium.

Famous quotes containing the word top:
“In all her products, Nature only develops her simplest germs. One would say that it was no great stretch of invention to create birds. The hawk which now takes his flight over the top of the wood was at first, perchance, only a leaf which fluttered in its aisles. From rustling leaves she came in the course of ages to the loftier flight and clear carol of the bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
