Australia listens…

Australia has voted! The Hottest 100 is like the much cooler and younger little brother of the Eurovision song contest. And this year’s winner was…

1. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Thrift Shop

“I’m gonna pop some tags
Only got 20 dollars in my pocket
I, I, I’m hunting, lookin’ for a come-up
This is fucking awesome.”

Seems very un-Triple-J music to me but it is kinda catchy! I can almost see myself running along the river and listening to this!

2. Of Monsters and Men – Little Talks

The Icelandic band that is so extremely well loved by Aussies! By the way, am I the only one who thinks that they sound like they’re related to Angus & Julia Stone?!

3. Alt-J – Breezeblocks

After finding out the top 3 I’ve been feeling rather uncool. In a million years I wouldn’t have voted these songs (well, except for my Icelandic cousins’ song) to be the best songs of last year! Oh well, the people have voted! If you’re interested in what Australia is listening to, check out the complete list here!

 

Ps. Triple J is playing all the top 200 songs this weekend so stay tuned!
