Not really expecting much traction here considering recent years, but with Warmtunas this year I've actually found it quite interesting. Its meant that Sportsbet don't have it to rely on either, so some of their current odds are a little all over the place imo.
My current bets:
Olivia Dean to have most songs in 100 @ 8.50 -
Ninajirachi currently lowest @ 1.40, I think SB are overrating her a little bit currently, although she's obviously had a huge year critically and triple j are pushing her heavily, her style of music hasn't quite translated to Hottest 100 success yet, and there doesn't really feel like there's the groundswell of support out in the masses yet. Spacey Jane are @ 3.25, not much needs to be said here really, its Spacey Jane, they'll always bring in huge amount of votes even if their newest album hasn't quite blown up to extent of their previous ones. Sombr in my opinion is the biggest contender in this category @ 5.00. Multiple big TikTok hits, large young women audience (who last year were the biggest demographic).

I have noticed that they've limited the amount of songs of each artist on the vote list to 5, which means there's a very high chance of this category being tied, but @ 8.50 for Olivia Dean I'm still happy with the potential, I expect all 5 songs of hers in the vote list to poll.
Olivia Dean to have 2 or more songs in the top 10 @ 2.00 -
Not huge odds, but I'm fully expecting Man I Need and Nice to Each Other to make the top 10.
Dom Dolla Highest Placed Aussie Artist @ 13.00
When you see how much SB have tightened their odds over the board in the past 5-10 years, Dom Dolla sitting at 13.00 didn't really make much sense to me. Ninajirachi is sitting @ 1.80, again, I think SB are overrating her. The biggest contender here I think is Keli Holiday @ 2.00, huge hit, but there's also a portion of young Australians who are beyond tired of it already. Playlunch are @ 7.50, I see this going top 20, but being a novelty track its a little hard to tell whether it has legs for a high top 10 spot. Tame Impala also sitting at @ 7.50 which I don't mind, the votes for them definitely a bit more united than previous years, with Dracula being the only hit off the new album. Spacey Jane are @ 10.00, they'll have a few songs make it of course, but they didn't really feel like they had a standout, compared to previous years.
Dom Dolla is still an undeniable force. Dreamin is really the only track that had a proper release of his this year, so almost the entirety of his votes will be going his way. Just got off the back of his stadium show in Sydney, a summer of festival headlines still to come. Im quite happy with these odds.
Without Warmtunas to go off, I'm finding this year to be far more interesting than the last few.
