Hottest 100 Voting Closes: Here Are The Songs Leading The Votes So Far

107

Voting for triple j‘s Hottest 100 of 2018 officially closed at 9am AEDT this morning, which means it’s time to check in with two trusted vote-trackers who have been tallying votes for listeners’ favourite tracks of 2018.

100 Warm Tunas and The Bean Counter’s 100 have both been tallying votes posted on social media in an attempt to predict who will top this year’s countdown.

Both correctly predicted eight of the 10 songs which appeared in last year’s Hottest 100, and they are promising to be even more accurate this year.

googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1548133493’]]);

});
