  1. @nest I’ve never done the streaming thing and tbh I’ve built a large part of my music library over the last couple of decades from interesting songs or music I’ve heard in movies or TV shows & then going & finding the albums from those artists and either buying & ripping the CDs or buying DRM-free digital downloads… (I tend to only learn about the latest big pop songs if someone does a nerd parody 🤪)

    if I wanted to dial in (😏) to what the kids are listening to these days or something more eclectic, I’d give a listen to #JJJ or #RRR online to find new artists & go buy their music from their websites (if they have any offline options)

    you might also like to have a listen to the JJJ #Hottest100 at abc.net.au/triplej/countdown/h – they also have the archives going back to 1989 🤘

  6. Triple J Hottest 100 for 2025.
    Final positions after #Hottest200.
    Can't believe that there were TWELVE! "Like a Version" tracks and Magdalena Bay's "Ashes to Ashes" was NOT one of them. It was easily my favorite "Like a Version" for the year.
    Here's the Youtube link:

  8. This week #TripleJ have been dribbling out the next 100 of their #Hottest100 poll, and I've placed another vote, at 147. Given #Flume 's dominance of this poll in the past I'm a little surprised this was so low, but I like this weird little ballad with #EmmaLouise . youtu.be/758p-cCYI2E

  13. My thoughts on quite a limited listen to the 2025 #JJJ #Hottest100

    For *reasons* I only heard the better part of the top 20 songs in this year’s Hottest 100 after having a real listen from 2000-2009 and skipping those between then and now.

    What I heard was a lot of music that was eerily similar to the kind of music that you would find in a 1980’s playlist - it sounded very mainstream compared to past lists from the naughties. I didn’t hear any (c)rap.

    I also noted there was a hell of a lot more Australian artists in the countdown (which is a good thing) than in past years and, according to The Guardian, the songs in the Hottest 100 were reflective of the general JJJ playlist during 2025.

    My thoughts on why these things have occurred come down to the retirement of Richard Kingsmill. Kingsmill had an outsized influence for a very, very long time on what got played on JJJ. I suspect that a lot of the songs that got played and thus ended up in the 2025 countdown would never have been given airtime while he was still around - they simply would not have been ‘alternative enough’ for Kingsmill.

    FTR - I don’t have an issue with Kingsmill, I am just noting the change.

    Overall, the change is probably for the benefit of the Australian music industry - more local talent getting air time and more results in the Hottest 100. I am fairly sure promoting Australian music was the reason Gough Whitlam’s government set up (what was then) 2JJ … yes, I was around to the hear the launch.

    Dinosaurs like me might wish for a higher number of songs that sound like what I am used to on JJJ, but we are not the JJJ demographic. While we have ‘aged out’ of JJJ, we kept listening anyway.

    I would note in passing Number 4: ‘Keith’by PLAYLUNCH … that is an absolute cracker of a song, reminds me of various ‘joke’ songs from the naughties, such as ‘Russel Crowe’s Band’ by Frenzal Rhomb and ‘The Bold And The Beautiful’ by The Drugs. It was good to see it up in the Top Five.

  18. What Australia needs is a few people in their 50s complaining about the #hottest100

  19. I just realised that Last Man Standing by Blusher, a song many had predicted would be in the top ten of the #Hottest100 didn't even make the Top 100.
    Very strange..
