Thanks Bertram! Is this a critics' list?

Re: Top 100 Hits of all time (from FOCUS-Magazine - Germany 5.5.2003)

Oh, I just realised it's the equivalent of FOCUS's top 75 albums list, and that it's based on results from other polls. See http://www.focus.de/D/DF/DFM/DFMD/DFMDA/dfmda.htm?snr=271

Since these other polls are probably already included (those that are eligible), I will not include this one. Otherwise those polls would be counted twice.
