Triple J Reckons There’s 66 Aussie Artists Placing In The Hottest 100 Tomorrow + More Stats To Get You Hyped

January 21, 2021

Triple j have shared some stats with us ahead of tomorrow’s Hottest 100 of 2020 to ~build the suspense~.

It’s a huge year to look back on, even aside from the whole coronavirus pandemic thing. It was a massive year for releases as artists made do without gigs.

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {‘gptAds’:[], ‘gptStandAlone’:[]};
admiralCookie = null;
if (typeof readAdmiralCookie === “function”){
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();
}

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([750, 0], []).addSize([980, 0], []).build(); PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1611393154’] = googletag.defineSlot(‘/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros’, [[300, 250]], ‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1611393154’)
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting(‘pos’, ‘A’).setTargeting(‘content_detail’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘kw’, ‘in-article-mobile’).setTargeting(‘coppa’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘site’, ‘musicfeeds_intl’);
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display(‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1611393154’);

if ((admiralCookie === null || admiralCookie[‘val’] === ‘false’) && (typeof(ezoicTestActive) === ‘undefined’)) {
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1611393154’]]);
}

});

Now, triple j have spilled on the Hottest 100. They reckon a whopping 66 artists in the countdown are Aussies. That matches 2016’s record of most Aussies in the countdown ever.

Often when dissecting the science behind a Hottest 100 countdown, a common theory is that releasing your song too early in the year is a disservice to your chances. That must not have counted in 2020.

The hottest month of the countdown is actually January… Throwback to the golden days.

There’s a massive 26 artists making their hottest hundy debuts this year. Bugs? Stand Atlantic? Birdz?!

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([750, 0], []).addSize([980, 0], []).build(); PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_c_1611393154’] = googletag.defineSlot(‘/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros’, [[300, 250]], ‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_c_1611393154’)
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting(‘pos’, ‘C’).setTargeting(‘content_detail’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘kw’, ‘in-article-mobile’).setTargeting(‘coppa’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘site’, ‘musicfeeds_intl’);
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display(‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_c_1611393154’);

});

Two artists are celebrating huge with their seventh consecutive years placing. A further six artists are celebrating their fourth runs.

Ahem, Cub Sport, Ocean Alley, DMA’s.

On top of that? Three artists have scored back-to-back songs in this year’s countdown too.

There’ll be 61 F-bombs across 19 tracks in the countdown as well.

Triple j is encouraging listeners to donate to Lifeline this year or grab a shirt.
