it was no real surprise of the top 10..
i thought "I Will Wait" By Mumford & Sons was going to be 3 though, but was stoked that Alt-J got it.
Amazed neither of the bloc party tracks got in, same with Japanroids... There is a good article on fasterlouder about the winners/losers of the hottest 100, like twinsy with waterbombs, 3rd most played songs on triplej in 2012 and it didnt make it at all???
If we look at the last 5 years of hottest 100, they have all been commercial radio played songs, which i guess it a changing of the guard, i dare say most of these songs would of got their first spin on JJJ though
2008 - Sex On Fire - Kings Of Leon (Thrashed on Commercial Radio) That being said KoL kinda sold out with that album, he use to mumble in all his songs, that album you could hear every word clearly
2009 - Little Lion Man - Mumford and Songs (Again thrashed) - It was a damn yokel with FUCK in it..
2010 - Big Jet Plane - Angus And Julia Stone - Didnt this win best song in the ARIA's??? I dont mind A&JS but Rock It by Little Red should of won that year
2011 - Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye Feat Kimbra - Never heard the song... i assume its ok???
2012 - Well, we all know who won this year... Honestly, the song doesnt bother me, the radio edit bothers me because its like a new song...
Ok, i think i have ranted enough now, its 10:30pm, i should head to the pub... Mundine might be getting knocked out soon
