Passively listening to the Hottest 100 is an Australia Day tradition as enduring as barbecued meats, backyard cricket and battling dehydration/psychosis at the Sydney Big Day Out. And with less than 24 hours til Triple J unveils their hottest tracks of 2010, Faster Louder have consulted the world of betting to gauge this year’s odds on favourites. You can literally bet on anything these days!
Shortest odds belong to foul-mouthed crooner Cee Lo Green whose “Fuck You” nets 2.80 at Sportingbet and 2.85 at Sports Bet while Little Red’s “Rock It” and Angus And Julia Stone’s “Big Jet Plane” represent the surest local jams. The countdown starts from midday, around the time people will be waking from their pre-Australia Day ritual of getting shitfaced. Also, hopefully no one loses their house because they overestimated Cee Lo Green’s popularity.
