Triple J’s Hottest 100 countdown: The full list of songs from 100 to one

An Aussie band have smashed this year’s Hottest 100, keeping the countdown’s main favourite out of the top spot. DID THEY GET IT RIGHT? HAVE YOUR SAY

Sydney band Ocean Alley have taken out this year’s Triple J Hottest 100 with their song Confidence.

The band, who formed in 2011, released Confidence in February last year and kept out the other main favourite, T his Is America, by US rapper Childish Gambino.

In the end despite online predictions, Confidence’s main competition was Australian dance act Fisher with Losing It at No.2, then rapper Travis Scott’s Sicko Mode (featuring Drake) at No.3 and T his Is America at No.4.

Ocean Alley have smashed the Hottest 100.

Ocean Alley’s win should finally see Confidence become an Australian chart hit - it has so far only peaked at No.96, however the single has gone gold on the back of over 11 million streams.

The album that houses Confidence, Chiaroscuro, reached No.15 last year and has gone gold with sales of over 35,000 in Australia.

Ocean Alley had four songs in the Hottest 100. They bookended the poll with Happy Sad at No.100, their cover of 1977 soft rock hit Baby Come Back by Player was No.16 and Knees made No.10.

The Hottest 100 featured 2,758,584 votes this year, with 65 of the 100 songs by Australian artists.

Dean Lewis’ ARIA No.1 ballad Be Alright was voted in at No.6 while Queensland’s Amy Shark continued her charmed run with I Said Hi landing at No.5. Her breakthrough song, Adore, made No.2 in the 2016 Hottest 100, while Weekends made No.25 last year.

Castlemaine teenager Kian made a strong debut to the Hottest 100 with Waiting - the song won a Triple J’s Unearthed competition last year and saw the 16-year-old score a record deal with EMI.

American musician Billie Eilish became the youngest performer to score a Hottest 100 Top 10 spot with her song When the Party’s Over making No.8, while her collaboration with Khalid, Lovely, was No.17 and Y ou Should See Me in a Crown made No.46.

US pop singer Miley Cyrus made her first official Hottest 100 showing via her Mark Ronson collaboration Nothing Breaks Like a Heart which registered at No.80. Rapper Mac Miller, who passed away last year, scored a posthumous placing with Ladders at No.35.

Aside from Ocean Alley and Eilish, other acts with multiple songs in the Hottest 100 include Rufus Du Sol and Drake with three each.

Mac Miller’s Ladders has made the Hottest 100. The rapper tragically died of an overdose last September.

Australian acts saw their music supported including Polish Club, Mallrat with Allday, Skegss, Hockey Dad, DMAs, Middle Kids, Methyl Ethyl and Flight Facilities.

Melbourne’s G Flip appeared at No.62 with Killing My Time, while her debut single About You is also tipped to be at least the Top 30 if not higher.

Regular visitors The Wombats reached No.69 with Cheetah Tongue, they too are expected to feature again later on, with the song Turn a favorite to be in the Hottest 100 Top 10.

British rock band Nothing But Thieves appeared with their cover of Gang of Youth’s What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out, from Triple J’s Like a Version, at No.72.

Miley Cyrus made it into the Hottest 100 thanks to her collaboration with Mark Ronson.

American rapper Childish Gambino’s This Is America, Ruby Fields’ Dinosaurs, Wafia’s I’m Good, Amy Shark’s I Said Hi, Mallrat’s Groceries and Travis Scott’s Sicko Mode were all correctly predicted to land in the Top 10 according to online guide Warm Tunas, who track what songs people have voted for through their online posts. The poll has accurately predicted last year’s winner Humble by Kendrick Lamar.

The songs that missed out will be aired on Triple J tomorrow from 10am when they play the Hottest 200 to 101.

The Hottest 100 broke its own record this year with 2,758,548 votes - which factors in that each person who votes gets to choose 10 songs.

Prior to today’s broadcast Triple J has revealed that in this year’s poll there will be 65 Australian songs as well 21 artists appearing in a Hottest 100 for the very first time and eight artists who have appeared in a Hottest 100 for three years in a row.

For those who question the Hottest 100’s popularity, last year 19-per-cent of Australians aged over 16 and over listened to the countdown - which equates to 3.34 million people.

And it’s a social event - research obtained by Triple J last year showed that 71-per-cent of people who listened to the Hottest 100 did so with others, usually at a party.

Last year’s stats showed that most voters are 18 years old, more than 60-per-cent are under 24 years old, 80-per-cent are under 30 and more women (53-per-cent) vote than men.
