The real game is to predict the next DL, which has already been played. Counting all the hits is just a fun side game and therefore doesn't count.

So, I think we can finally close this round - Jimmy Carter doesn't seem to have died November and December really turned up the heat and produced twice as many hits as in some months combined: Jan/Feb = 9 Mar/Apr= 6 May/June = 6 July/Aug= 6 Sept/Oct = 4 Nov/Dec = 12 With Rosalynn Carter, Henry Kissinger, Shane McGowan and Jacques Delors there were real top candidates, but in the end no one could stop @RoverAndOut from scoring the most hits: 22! So 3 more than the official DL 2023! Although there is no place for this in the DL Hall of Fame (Sorry!), it certainly deserves recognition from all of us! Very well done!

Thank you for a very successful DL 2023! Well done, the result is really great!

Yes, and next year the spot will probably go to Dick van Dyke again

A well deserved No.1 spot

Great to see Carter on No.1 and Cheney falling out of the Top 30. Beckenbauer and Glynis Johns are great inclusions.

Sorry, you can't make up for not taking him back then...

Thank you in advance for your active participation! I will calculate and present the result on January 3rd or 4th. Happy New Year @all!

We have our first hit, but unfortunately in the wrong year: Our No. 26 Torsun Teichgräber aka Torsun Burkhardt has died yesterday. He was 49 and had cancer. https://www.zeit.de/kultur/musik/2023-12/torsun-burkhardt-tod-krebs-egotronic The place will be filled as quickly as possible. Edit: Annette Rexrodt von Fircks, last year at No.31, is getting Torsuns place.
