Hottest 100 of the '10s

I get that Triple J’s remit is to pump up Aussie music, but the idea that 65 of the best songs of the year come from Australia and 35 from the entire rest of the world is laughable. They have pushed it too far, abandoning acts that used to be their bread and butter. Hard to believe Vampire Weekend didn’t get a single song in when the album is making top 10 lists. Harmony Hall would have been a top 10 song in years gone by.

No Stella Donnelly, no Montaigne, no Alex the Astronaut, no Waax, no Ruby Fields, no Jack River.

For all the air time Triple J gives to young Australian female talent, it’s weird that people don’t vote for them.

I’m also stunned that King Princess didn’t make it given the high rotation she got.

On the flip side (pun half-intended), G-Flip and Alex Lahey as did Thelma Plum (even though she's been around for a while). I thought Stella would've featured but she'll be in the 200-101 along with the others. The lack of Amity Affliction was a huge surprise for me. They've consistently placed every year they've released music despite being a genre that's an outlier to the rest of the list, so to see them miss out was unexpected, especially given Slipknot featured.

The lack of any of Alex Laheys originals was surprising though. Thought Don't Be So Hard On Yourself would get in.
 
Okay so this thing sucked yesterday. But I have a feel the 200-101 is going to be full of bangers. Have they announced when it will be yet?

Also, zero Foals songs is absolutely absurd. Also thought Northlane could snag a spot and expected far more than one Bring Me The Horizon song at 96.
 
Love the JJJ top 100 these days (well the reaction as I don't listen to JJJ)

Those over the ago of 25 complaining about the results when you don't realise they aren't the voting demographic (you use to be when you were 16-25), now you are to old and not part of the'cool' JJJ listeners

there was plenty of other mediocre, bland female Australian talent that made the 100 tho, can't have them all in there thankfully

agreed 100%, they have been getting worse the last few years, basically to the point where people are voting for Aussie music just for the sake it's Australian, regardless of it's quality. the balance between the origination of the countdown up until a few years back was much better and made for a really good mix

on the countdown, as bad as Billie Eilish is, she's slightly better than Tones and I so that's the only redeeming thing for me. once Bulls came on at 5 I was hoping for Flume, who coming 2nd with one of his weaker efforts overall is a big result, but it wasn't to be

now hopefully we can have all the annoying "WHEN IS A WOMAN GOING TO WIN THE H100" muppets shut up about it, I'm sure there'll be something else to whinge about after the decade results are mainly male orientated tho

Yeah, I've noticed this too. In fact thanks to wikipedia I can tell you that 2008-13 had an average of 44 Aussie songs. Since then the average is 62.5 (2013 had 45; 2014 had 60?!?!).

/rant

I think I've voted in a hottest 100 twice before, so don't really give a s**t about it or JJJ to be honest, but them doing this has, IMO, had a big impact on our music culture in general. Gone are the days of not that long ago where the bigger festivals were a surefire chance to see plenty of acts who (to put it not very kindly) Pitchfork gave their Best New Album tags to, fleshed out by a bunch of local bands; now we get festivals full of whatever Aussie acts Kingsmill has decided that 18 year olds around the country should be listening to, who all sound and look the same, and maybe a couple of mid-sized critically acclaimed acts from overseas if we're lucky.

There are obviously more factors than just JJJ (festivals growing too quickly, too many of them popping up, different musical landscape, maybe it's not worth the effort for bands to come out here anymore?), but I don't think you can ignore it either. Which is a shame, because not only does it mean that the very best music from around the world isn't being played, it means those acts are a risky bet for festival and concert promoters, leading to our music scene being incredibly monotonous. Which is great if you're in a band who likes s**t haircuts and pretending to skate and surf, but not so much for anyone else.

(Wait, was this what things were like for people who didn't care for grunge back in the 90s?)

Where did this song finish?




It reminded me of the old Pixies but I guess they aren't cool anymore.

Did you vote for Billie Eilish this year Plug? I would've thought she'd be right up 90s JJJ listeners' alleys: mainstream pretending not be, popular with moody teens who think that Nirvana is an obscure find, and ultimately a not-as-good version of acts who came along first.

Kingsmill hasn't been the music director for 2 years now.

Consequence of Sound’s album list last year was pretty spot on.
