I don't think I'll do a list this year but I will say that Flume's remix of Disclosure's You and Me is definitely going to be fairly high up in the list.

Good to see you're back again this year .
Royals is my favourite song of the year which is why I have it at number 2. I couldn't tell if it was amazing enough to be #1 or if I was just being bias due to my taste.
Riptide could also take #1 from Lorde based on the fact that the #1 song has only had a female vocalist #4 times in the history of the hottest 100 (if I remember correctly).
Ive noticed that your list, like mine, is fairly thin on aussie hip hop this year which I find interesting.
Yeezus is his lyrically weakest album for sure. But dismissing him because of that is pretty ignorant. And sure, there are a tonne of other rappers with better rhyme and better flow, but that's not solely what makes a good artist.I think the only ever Kanye song I've liked is fellows In Paris. As for the rest I just don't really get it.
Yeezus is especially bad, I mean just making up words with the same ending so they rhyme and repeating them until he's out of breath, just screams of no talent. Making up words to fit the rhyme is one of the worst things in rap and should only be done sparingly if neccesary at all.
And it really gets on my nerves when people say they dont like rap and list off people like Kanye as examples of rap. There are much better rappers
You're about a year behind. Disclosure - Latch was #21 in 2012, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Household Goods was #78 in 2012. The only TEED release for 2013 was Lion, the Lion, which I can't see going anywhere near the hottest 100.
Good to see you here again thewitness, are you going to do your usual method of compiling votes again this year?
I'm a lot busier this year but will give it a try if i find some time. I guess Triple J learned from their mistake last year and won't make it as easy as it was last time round.
yeah I don't see many Aus-hop tracks doing too well this year. Pez, Bliss and Illy have the chance for one entry each but don't see a massive turn out especially when Hilltop, 360, Drapht and Seth all didn't release any new material this year (apart from that massive Bliss n Eso collab Resevoir Dogs)
Lorde is the in thing right now, the flavour of the month so to say, so she's gonna be right up there. Daft Punk simply coz they're a massive name, huge fanbase and Get Lucky is catchy as ****. Riptide is a bit of a sleeper compared to those two but still is a huge chance as previous polls have shown the majority of voters love a folky, acoustic song high up the list. Entertainment and Retrogade have been big all year but probably the last few months lost a bit of steam that'd see them challenge.
I would have thought "Trying to be Cool" would be higher up than "Entertainment". The former was absolutely played to death on the J's, particularly by The Doctor. It was in my #11-20 picks that just missed out

Yeah was surprised to it there too. Not sure why it would be so high.Blurred Lines would be no chance. Wasn't played on Triple J, and voters are aware of the weird, offensive, and creepy lyrics.

Do they not realise Summertime Sadness was #86 last year? Haha. Or perhaps people are voting for the remix...
I didn't think the Preatures would be so high up either. But each to their own I guess. I've only just learnt that Mac DeMarco's "Freaking Out the Neighbourhood" is eligible – it really shouldn't be, seeing as 2 came out last year, but I'll take it.
Sorry Julian, the Strokes get bumped from my likely 10. I think this is definitely what I'm gonna go with.
Arcade Fire — Reflektor
Arctic Monkeys — Do I Wanna Know?
Childish Gambino — 3005
Foals — My Number
James Blake — Retrograde
Kanye West — Bound 2
Lorde — 400 Lux
Mac DeMarco – Freaking Out the Neighbourhood
Vampire Weekend — Hannah Hunt
World’s End Press — Drag Me Home
Very happy to see so many of you voting for Hannah Hunt. Such a great song.
