triple j Hottest 100 2021

[TubbsFarquhar]

Hmm, starting to look like Wolf Alice will miss out entirely, not even in the 200. Disappointing. They're just one of those bands like Royal Blood who just can't seem to crack the countdown.

5 years too late.

Wet Leg should be higher

 

[two blue tiger]

Might not be a popular opinion, but Lime Cordiale should be tipped down the sink. Bloody ordinary............

 

[boyhumbug12]

Has anyone joined the 15-or-over club yet?

 

[DaRenegade]

glad to see Die4u, Clarkson, Up and Blueprint all make it today, guess SFK’s Cardigan and The Change by What So Not/DMA’s will miss out, hoping The Rubens and Wombats pop up soon

also that Lime Cordiale/Idris Elba collab is AWFUL, another triple j band that get votes for the sake of it

Kanye West easily if he hadn’t already, Lorde is about to if she hasn’t too and then SFK, Billie or Wombats are the only other chances

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Would love to know how many votes you need to scrape into the 100.

Reckon those Lime Cordiale blokes must get their Mum & Dad, Mum & Dad's friends, Mum & Dad's friends friends to vote for them............

If Rufus get 3 from here I think they get to 15. No that’s wrong sorry

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

That shittest song ever from Tom Cardy is going to make it into the top 35 isn’t it?

 

[DaRenegade]

If Rufus get 3 from here I think they get to 15. No that’s wrong sorry

i forgot about RUFUS, are they going to make 15?

if Tom Cardy makes it, I won’t be shocked considering how many TikTok songs have charted today at the expense of actually good music

 

[RedmanWasHere]

So Girl in Red - Serotonin or Middle Kids - Stacking Chairs would have to've been the bride's song.

 

[thewitness]

It’s only 13 I think for Rufus

Some of these songs are way too high

 

[boyhumbug12]

If I’m counting the database correctly Kanye entered the countdown already on 15, Lorde 9 and Rufus 10. Not including decade counts.

5 Doja
5 Olivia
4 Kanye

Milkumana is such a good jam.

I'm glad both their singles made it. They were one of the only things along with Genesis Owusu and Tyler, the Creator I was looking out for.

A bit disappointed that Genesis Owusu wasn't higher. He had a few songs that I think would have been fantastic winners - IMO easily the best hip-hop album to come out of Australia, probably ever.

Surprised acts like The Goon Sax or Hatchie don't get played more on Triple J. Both make some of the better pop music I've heard recently from Australia and abroad, but can't seem to get a look-in. It's a bit sad that it seems like community radio is becoming more of a home for acts like that, even though plenty of them have penetrated international markets at this point.

Hatchie is great.....

I haven't checked out The Goon Sax but I like Hatchie. Double J and RRR are the way to go these days for those type of acts, and I've found myself listening to them a s**t load more in the last 5 years than JJJ.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I was expecting Hertz to feature much higher than this.

 

[SSwans2011]

Hatchie is great.....

She's been a stalwart of the Brisbane music scene for the better part of a decade now. Recommend checking out her work with Babaganouj if you haven't.

There was some hype surrounding them early on because one of the members is the son of Robbie Forster of The Go-Betweens. But I don't think there was much nepotism involved, and even if there was their music has been good enough to justify it. I suppose maybe The Go-Betweens were a bit early for Triple J (at least in terms of the Hottest 100) so that might have limited how far any associated hype got them JJJ.

It's just strange to me that they're an indie pop band on a big international label (Matador), and sell-out venues in Europe but can't crack the Hottest 100, or even get much, if any, airtime on Triple J.

It'd be less annoying if they hadn't promoted dogshit posers like Dune Rats and Sticky Fingers (or at least until the evidence of them being awful humans that the majority of people involved in the Australian music scene knew about became unignorable) for years.

I'm a lot more forgiving of mediocre/s**t music if the creators are decent people. For instance, I find Vance Joy's music pretty bland for the most part but he comes across as a pretty genuine, down-to-earth guy. Sticky Fingers, on the other hand, are outright campaigners which just makes their shitty music even worse knowing the type of people they are.
