Hottest 100 2012

[FreoFaithful]

It's nearing that time again. Who will you be voting for? Who do you think will make the top 10?

Obviously, Gotye's track will be a standout favourite.

 

[omit]

I'll be taking gotye to the bank. Foster the People are a sure thing for top 10

 

[benji2]

Yep gotye has #1 written all over it for mine, and deservedly so. Not sure about the rest of the top 10 or 20 yet

And I'll be helping it get there by voting for it.
The other tracks on my list so far are:
Loveless - Children Collide
The Repairer - Adalita
What the water gave me - Florence and the Machine

 

[FreoFaithful]

Sportingbet currently have Gotye at $1.20 against the field (every other song this year).

Actually not bad odds. Absolute certainty

Don't be so sure my friend. That is the same rhetoric that got Ricki-Lee voted off Australian Idol all those years ago. Tragic.

Pumped Up Kicks went top 30 last year, and as such, can't be voted for this year. Similiar deal to Sweet Disposition a couple of years back.

Gotye to break the all time victory margin for mine.

After that though, it's a quite wide open race for spots in the top 10. Some potential nominees...

Calvin Harris - Bounce
Florence and the Machine - What the Water Gave Me/Shake it Off
The Jezabels - Endless Summer
Foo Fighters - Rope/Walk
The Grates - Turn Me On/Sweet Dreams
Jay Z & Kanye West (Watch the Throne) - Otis
Jebediah - She's Like a Comet
Sparkadia - China/Mary
Justice - Audio, Video, Disco
The Wombats - Jump Into the Fog

Also interested to see how far the big dubstep acts of 2011 (Nero & Skrillex) can get up the charts. In a fairly weak year, I reckon at least one song from them for the top 20.

That Gotye song will win.

Continuing the streak of terrible winning songs.

Elliott Smith will be rolling in his grave

****ing sad that 99 our of 100 people wouldn't of heard the better "somebody that I used to know".

 

[MC Bad Genius]

Gotye will most likely win and I'm pretty sure The Jezabel's "Endless Summer" will go Top 10.

 

[Starlin Castro]

Agree with Gotye, it'll be 1. Same too with Jump In The Fog and Endless Summer. My two suggestions are Paradise - Coldplay and Midnight City - M83, both could go pretty high.

 

[Portmanteau]

Has there been any new music released this year? ****.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah, I heard Pumped Up Kicks in December last year and got all my mates on to it. It's amazing how long it takes commercial radio stations to get a hold of things.

Gotye will win. Not a fan of the song myself personally.

 

[La Dispute]

Zero taste confirmed?

You sayin Gotye>Elliott Smith?

ok palll.

 

[dude316]

Arctic Monkeys and The Stokes should have a few in the top 100 this year.

Both good calls!

Also add

Drapht - Bali Party
Kimbra - Cameo Lover
Cut Copy - Need You Now
The Living End - The Ending Is Just The Beginning Repeating
Pnau - The Truth/Solid Ground

to the list of locks for the Hottest 100.

 

[Vecto]

Like a lot of people on here I don't really like Gotye's song. I like unpopular songs more because it makes me feel really indie and superior.

Maybe they don't like it because it's shit?

Just about everything mentioned in this thread is shit. Deal with it.

Also, lol at these song titles:

The Living End - The Ending Is Just The Beginning Repeating
Arctic Monkeys - Don't Sit Down Cos I've Moved Your Chair

really...

I kinda like Otis.. I hope that wins... well, I don't actually care who wins but you know what I mean.

 

[jo172]

Early leans:

The Strokes - Undercover of Darkness
Goteye - Somebody that I used to Know
Boy & Bear - Feeding Line
Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know (have a feeling it just sneaks in)
PNAU - The Truth
The Wombats - Techno Fan
The Kooks - Junk of the Heart
Kasabian - Velociraptor
Dawn of the Dead - Pulling Out My Insides
Cosmo Jarvis - Gay Pirates

Come at me indie kids/hipsters

Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know takes a dump on that from a very high location.

Some people will trash anything that's popular and pump up something indie just so they don't seem to be conforming.

I don't normally vote for clear favourites but Gotye's is the most obvious favourite I can remember for quite some years and I'll definitely be voting for it.

Magical song.

Outside of that, I have no idea. The only album I've really listened to is This Modern Glitch and it was ace, so maybe nine tracks from that??

Some good calls there. Feeding Line is a definite for me and while I voted for What You Know last year, it wasn't on the list and it might sneak in for this year.

 

[The_Big_Ship]

TV on the Radio - Will Do, Radiohead - Lotus Flower, and The Horrors - Still Life should all make it you'd think.

Gotye's song is like something a 12 year old could of written. So bland and repetitious. Very much The Big Jet Plane of this year.

That old argument. It's a shit song. I personally could not care less how popular a song is - I voted for Spanish Sahara last year and that managed to get in.

The Wombats are an awful band.

I hate how popular and mainstream they are

 

[La Dispute]

When does the list come out?
