Voting opens in less than 24h.

Some tunes I will definitely vote for:

Active Child - Hanging On

These are for certain. Need to have a think about others.

These will be on my short-list:
James Blake & Bon Iver - Fall Creek Boys Choir
Radiohead - Lotus Flower
Adalita - The Repairer
Example - Change the way you kiss me
Kanye West & Jay-Z - Otis
Nero - Guilt <-- NSFW probably
Snakadaktal - Air
The Jezabels - Trycolour
Architecture in Helsinki - Contact High

Who's voting and what will you vote for?

such a c*** of a year its going to be, might have to do the ole 'vote a couple of times' as just off-the-top of my head:

Art Vs Science - AIM Fire
Crystal Fighters - Follow
Architecture in Helsinki - Contact High
Justice - Civilization
Nero - Me and You
Nero - Promises
Friendly Fires - Hawaiian Air
Example - change the way you Kiss me
Gotye - Somebody that I Used to Know
Calvin Harris - Feel So Close
Lana Del Ray - Video Games
Loon Lake - Bad To Me
The Drums - No Money

Some obvious token clique ones there, though I'm not one to not vote for a song because it'll get in or it was too popular, I only vote because I f***en love it!!!

I vote Triple J should being back Andrew Haug :(

ah, the annual triple j hottest 100. A dozen songs you like, a dozen songs you've heard of, and the rest is just utter s***.

ah, the annual triple j hottest 100. A dozen songs you like, a dozen songs you've heard of, and the rest is just utter s***.

Such is the price to find great new music - you have to listen to songs to find new music and that means listening to many songs you might not love or identify with.

A lot of people don't like change hardware - you're probably just one of those kinds of people. Probably enough for you to enjoy your current collection without any change - maybe for the rest of your life. I personally find that pretty boring and think that 'discovering' new music is exciting.

hardware is more of a tiple M kind of guy

is there a link to the list of songs you can vote for?

Solid linking effort there son

Placeholder for my entries, trying to work it out

is there a link to the list of songs you can vote for?

Not until tomorrow. I just searched for songs on YouTube looked at songs with 2011 dates. I used this as a bit of a refresher too: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/11/yearinreview/

Might be some way to do it on http://jplay.com.au

I listen to JJJ for a couple hours everyday and don't know any of the s*** you people are listing, except Gotye and Justice.

Though if you asked me what song I like, I would say it's the song where the black kid appears when the music is playing, so obviously they don't do a very good job of conveying who the artist and song name is on JJJ.

Sebastian - Embody

That's it. Don't even know if it's from this year. What a stupid name 'sebastian' how the f*** are you supposed to look that up or remember it.


Also...

http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/entries/icons/original/000/005/320/rebecca_black_friday_16nr3db-16nr3ev.jpg?1300108897

Placeholder while I get it together, but it's going to include that new Hilltop Hoods track and the Azealia Banks' 212

I could watch that video all day (NSFW) -> http://youtu.be/i3Jv9fNPjgk

hardware is more of a tiple M kind of guy

I'd say a B105 kind of guy if hes struggling for just 12.

ps nats forgot about that s***hop hoods song, its the tits.

also thermite, I dont know if you're stupid or deaf or maybe just baiting, though they religiously either pronounce the artist of back announce the artist of every track and the name of it, of every song played, and if the presenter some how forgets, they always backtrack and tell everyone what it was.

I think you may have JJJ mixed up with nova, last time I listened to them (like, a week or two ago perhaps?) they said "this is the new one from Architecture in Helsinki and it was a shorted version of Contact High which had came out about 10 months ago.

And finally (trying to be less of a c***) you probably know a lot more of the songs than you think, you just don't remember the name of them, happens to me all the time.

I've never actually voted before, I always just listen to the goodness. But I might this year.

last edited by kr0wb4r at 15:23:48 13/Dec/11

i reckon that gotye will win. pretty common prediction. but that song was huge.
i gave jjj a miss this year. i do one year on, and one year off.
otherwise i find you can become jaded when persuaded by richard kingsmill constantly.

so, ill just get the nominations list and smash them over the next month, see what appeals to me from that.

just fyi to everyone who thinks they're going to go away and then update their posts with their lists

update time on posts has been capped to like 10 minutes

also thermite, I dont know if you're stupid or deaf or maybe just baiting, though they religiously either pronounce the artist of back announce the artist of every track and the name of it, of every song played, and if the presenter some how forgets, they always backtrack and tell everyone what it was.

Get defensive!
Whatever they're doing it doesn't work. They don't explain anything. Sometimes they might randomly say something but not explain what they are saying. For example, they always say "Like a version" but never explain what that means. Irritating. So I imagine they might randomly say "sebastian embody" but not explain it like "YOu just heard a song called Embody by the artist named Sebastian."
Except in reality they probably don't say anything and just hit the "friday f***wit" button over and over.

therm, they back-announce every single song in detailed order. "At the top of the set was..."

It's the not the triplej of the nineties which is what you're making it out to be - loose, amateur radio.

yeah i reckon you're just a spaz

you've been found out plenty of times to not(or choose not to)comprehend simple stuff before (ie. toll road signage), my vote goes to listener problem

jjj definitely clearly announce every song.

there's also jplay.com.au

yeah, +1 to the consistent and obvious announcements of what song is going to play/has played


somebody i used to know for number 1, i reckon, has been too big and the songs that get heaps of commercial play (*cough* sex on fire *cough*) often do real well.


however, i will have to go away and think about my own top 10 or whatever, too many songs come out that i love and then other stuff comes out and i forget about them, will have to go back through my 2011 played stuff!

nah, i don't really like much commercial radio. I'm the kind of guy who mashes the steering wheel control buttons through every preset i can find until i stumble upon a decent enough song, rinse and repeat. Yes my tastes do stretch to yesteryear in some instances, but why would you limit yourself to just today's music when the back catalogue of everything ever is at your disposal?

I don't limit myself at all. I listen to old stuff - but mostly from my generation, I don't really get onboard with 60's music and stuff like that. Too time constrained to delve that deep.

I also mash the hell out of my radio. I agree that triplej does play a lot of s*** I don't want to hear but my radio still spends more time on triplej than any other station - and I wish I had a digital radio so I could also hear the Unearthed channel as well.

nova nation
or abc grandstand

(who the f*** listens to analog broadcasts)

360 imo.

Hardware didn't like my tattoo, therefore he isn't with the times. I kid, I hate a lot of radio music, I listen to my dubstep, my mozart and my random.

Back on topics peeps - who's voting?

I added Contact High to my short list. If it's good enough for Bruce Willis, it's good enough for me.

i understand what you're saying pinky, it's very easy to just accept what's dished up to you by commercial radio.

when was the last time you heard a bob marley song on commercial radio?

#1 will go to some indie crap sounding music like gotye or whatever.

yeh not a very good year for music.

yeh not a very good year for music.

define the style of music you're talking about

Though if you asked me what song I like, I would say it's the song where the black kid appears when the music is playing, so obviously they don't do a very good job of conveying who the artist and song name is on JJJ. Sebastian - Embody

It came out this year...it's on my list of possibles

yeh not a very good year for music.

i love this comment. i dont agree with it, but due its ignorance i just gotta bask in the lolibre.

when was the last time you heard a bob marley song on commercial radio?

Yep, fair point.

yeh not a very good year for music.

Yeah.....no. I can't agree with that statement.

Just my opinion.

Can't say I've heard anything outstanding this year on Triple J.

My mp3 player is filled with stuff that came out last year.

Voting has opened now, FYI.

my dubstep, my mozart

lol they are quite different ends of the musical spectrum

not in any order yet:

Skrillex - First of the year (equinox)
Skrillex - Scary monsters and nice sprites
Benny Bennasi - Cinema (skrillex remix)
Azari & III - Manic
Bloody Beetroots - Church of Noise
Deadmau5 - Sofi Needs a Ladder
Nero - Promises
Calvin Harris - Bounce (alas awooga wasn't on the list :p)

last edited by paveway at 14:23:46 14/Dec/11

Nice lists team. Sheesh, Endless Summer, another great track from the Jezabels. I wanted to vote for Mace Spray but apparently that was from end of 2010.

Surprised that Skrillex - Scary monsters is avail too - 100% certain that was end of 2010 as well. Smashed it this year though. Great track, will definitely vote for that.

This should help: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/11/pdf/triplej-hottest100-2001-by_artist.pdf

I've been compiling music over the last few days. Has been a great way to figure out which albums I want to buy as well!

Does anyone know if Ed Sheeran's The A-Team single counts for this year?

I've been compiling music over the last few days. Has been a great way to figure out which albums I want to buy as well!

Meh, money for jam - whacked $40 on. No way it can lose.

EDIT: Laying that bet took my balance to close to zero and Sportsbet offered me a $200 line of credit :-/

Interesting: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-01-25/academics-probe-triple-js-hottest-songs-countdown/3792114

Pity that reporters always have to play the 'dumb' card with statements like "your formula looks like something out of Good Will Hunting".

so has the list leaked yet?

has anyone checked to see if the cover of the next J mag has the winner on it again? :)

woop, can't wait. <3 aus day and the obligatory hottest 100 party.

my list had some minor changes when i actually put it in

'Gay Pirates' - Cosmo Jarvis.
'Blind Faith {Ft. Liam Bailey}' - Chase & Status.

Meh, money for jam - whacked $40 on. No way it can lose.

which songs does qgl reckon have a chance at beating it (if any)? i would have thought foster the peoople - pumped up kicks would be a decent bet but perhaps their voting will be split across so many songs they won't have the numbers to mount a challenge for number 1?

Active Child - Hanging On
Ball Park Music - All I Want Is You
Boy & Bear - Feeding Line
Example - Changed The Way You Kiss Me
Luke Million - Arnold
Snakadaktal - Air
Sparkadia - China
Wombats, The - Techno Fan

pumped up kicks was released at the end of 2010.

pumped up kicks was released at the end of 2010.

according to the vid in that abc link pinky provided, pumped up kicks was on the list.

Surprising that someone who has studied the hottest 100 didn't realise 'pumped up kicks' was in last year’s countdown. He sure will be in shock when number 2 gets played. Owl Eye's cover will be in this year’s countdown though.

He sure will be in shock when number 2 gets played. Owl Eye's cover will be in this year’s countdown though.

Haha, that will be a double whammy - Pumped up kicks will be wrong AND a cover will get up! :P

Haven't heard that cover before. Solid!

http://youtu.be/gsGMkeB8mJw

My tips for top 10:

Somebody That I Used to Know (feat. Kimbra) - Gotye
Lonely Boy - The Black Keys
Brother - Matt Corby
I Love It feat. Sia - Hilltop Hoods
Feeding Line - Boy & Bear
Boys Like You (feat. Gossling) - 360
Awkward - San Cisco
Video Games - Lana Del Rey
Tongue Tied - Grouplove
Call It What You Want - Foster the People

according to the vid in that abc link pinky provided, pumped up kicks was on the list.

i read somewhere that it was released in 2010, then checked the wiki
and it contradicts itself

From July to September 2010, the group wrote new material that would appear on their debut album, and they chose Paul Epworth, Rich Costey, and Greg Kurstin to co-produce the record with Mark Foster.[9] In September, "Pumped Up Kicks" was released as the group's debut single.

Foster the People issued its first commercial release in January 2011, a self-titled EP featuring "Pumped Up Kicks", "Houdini", and "Helena Beat" that was intended to hold fans over until their first studio album, Torches, was completed.

and the wiki for pumped up kicks says :

Pumped Up Kicks" is a song by American indie pop band Foster the People. It was released as the group's debut single in September 2010, and was later included on their EP Foster the People and their debut album Torches.

so i went to their soundcloud page and it says :

Released by: StarTime Intl/Columbia Records
Release date: Jan 18, 2011

Guess JJJ are going off the e.p release date. im pretty sure it wasnt made available on itunes until 2011 as well.
So yeah, with that said, its in for a good shot at #2.

Contact High by Architecture in Helsinki should rate fairly high as well imo.

its in for a good shot at #2.

It was in last year's coundown @32 and was NOT on this year's voting list, thus no chance.

lol. after all that,.
i knew i'd heard that somewhere.

IF Boys Like You (feat. Gossling) - 360
makes it into the top10 i will stab myself in the ear with a fork

i f***ing cannot stand it

^ great contender for #100

ah right, cheers lewd. yeah i didn't realise it was released before the EP, completely forgot it was in last years countdown.

Surprising that someone who has studied the hottest 100 didn't realise 'pumped up kicks' was in last year’s countdown.

haha, what?

'studied' the hottest 100? f***ing professor frink over here. if that comment was directed at me, no i haven't studied the hottest 100. for some reason they wouldn't accept my dissertation on it!@#!

what does it kick off?

12pm apparently EDIT: Sorry, that's 11am in the backwards state.

I really struggled out of bed at 10am to find that out, haha

I think a big reason is so it goes live in WA at 9am now.

Cool: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/11/timezones/

Wow new music sucks from what I've listened to that has been posted here.

Still a good excuse to drink piss and listen to music!

i'd say it's more likely that you're an old man now :]

thanks pinky

gotye #1

http://memegenerator.net/cache/instances/400x/9/10093/10336081.jpg

there is a meme for everything these days it seems.

how that deserves a meme is beyond me!

someone post when they get to the top 20

http://musicfeeds.com.au/news/triple-js-hottest-100-countdown-2011-full-list-of-songs-live-update/

http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/11/

Gotye - Somebody that I Used to Know will be #1 thanks to mainstream radio listeners.

haha, what?

'studied' the hottest 100? f***ing professor frink over here. if that comment was directed at me, no i haven't studied the hottest 100. for some reason they wouldn't accept my dissertation on it!@#!

Chill Winston. i think he's referring to the guy in the video.


Im happy with the list so far. Nice mix of good music.

Somebody That I Used To Know ticks all the boxes when it comes to being a Hottest 100 frontrunner:

- A Triple J-approved artist whose past releases got plenty of airplay on the station,
- A crossover hit which went from being played on the J’s to being flogged all over commerical radio.
- Scored industry acclaim and numerous awards (ARIA gave it Single Of The Year, while Gotye and Kimbra won Best Male and Female artists respectively).
- Recieve a whole new audience of ‘mainstream’ fans – who pack out your shows just to hear your new hit single (Gotye sold out four shows at The Forum in October).
- Had numerous people covering it on YouTube or in their live shows – (just look at Canadian band Walk Off The Earth’s cover)

Written by Brayden Darke

first of the year at 70-something and cinema at 38 yew

nice sprites to make the top 20

Just!

so close, 21

also just noticed my account has gone back to the old avatar for some reason..

Contact high at #12. My pick. Love this song.

WHERE IS MY BLINK 182?!?!

Got a fork on hand sCOOBY?

Haha

nEAGFfgaoragf;asdfDF:Lkjasdf

http://i3.kym-cdn.com/profiles/icons/big/000/063/173/epic-rage-guy.jpg

so scooby should be dead with a fork in his ear

I voted for boys like you :D

Bahaha Scooby.

8: 360 – Boys Like You (Ft. Gossling)

sux for some

wtf is with all this boy & bear s***. Is their entire album in the top 100 or something?

Who is Matt Corby...?

he was on australian idol

Yay Black Keys!

matt corbys like a version of lonely boy was much better than the original. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

woah gotye got no1? what a surprise

Wonder what song will be flogged to death this year? We already got one yet?

i appreciate the baa baa black sheep motif in that song.

Haha this doing is so over played...

loved that no. 1 song, something different for a change

whole thing became a bit of yawn fest towards the end

s*** top 10. M83 the only good one.

My fave part of BDO was when Girl Talk mixed Midnight City by M83 with Work It by Missy Elliot. f***ing genius.

My favourite part of today was when I supported myself over a recycling bin, tucked my penis between my legs and pissed backwards into the bin like a proper lady.

Bonus points - not my bin.

#100: Mr Little Jeans - The Suburbs
#99: The Beards - You Should Consider Having Sex With A Bearded Man {triple j recording}
