After top spot was prematurely unveiled in an embarrassing ABC Online blunder, Triple J’s annual Hottest 100 countdown felt more like the Lukewarm 99.
As expected and contrary to the inklings of music industry conspiracy theorists, Mumford & Sons’ “Little Lion Man” did indeed take top honours while Sydney trio and Triple J wards Art Vs. Science took out second spot with their Francophile anthem “Parlez Vous Francais”. Hilltop Hoods and Bluejuice rounded out the Aussie festival bro top five with Sports Tonight mainstays “Chase That Feeling” and “Broken Leg” respectively. Praise/criticize/peruse the full list below…
