2015 Hottest 100

[Aussie Assault]

I cant remember a song getting more airtime on Triple J than Powerful when it was released. It was around the same time as Chemical Brothers' Go come out, as they were played every 2nd song it seemed.

Gotta take a couple of hours to compile my list over the weekend.

DMAs and Violent Soho to dominate next year's countdown.

Uh they don't have Moving Mountains - Deathless on there. Such a fantastic song.

Not a bad effort...

Always like to get these out of the way early. Votes are in order I guess.

Pretty good. I try to vote for songs that are only on the website already as it's not like the others will get a spot otherwise. I also try and choose only one song from one artist but that will be tough this year as I enjoyed a few Foals songs.

Yeah, I had to add in three of my tracks (Blur, EvEv, Beach House). Other album cuts were present but not those. I know the chances of those songs getting in are remote, but it does seem more representative of my listening year. Interestingly fellows In Paris made the cut a few years ago at #98 despite not being on the vote list.

Voted:

Alabama Shakes - Don't Wanna Fight
Alison Wonderland - U Don't Know {ft. Wayne Coyne}
Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian At Best
Golden Features - No One {ft. Thelma Plum}
Jamie xx - Loud Places {ft. Romy}
Jarryd James - Do You Remember
Miguel - Waves
Rufus - You Were Right
Tame Impala - Let It Happen
Tkay Maidza - M.O.B.

Assume the station uses these votes to see what people are liking for the future, so might as well vote for something even if its not on the list

 

[Silent Alarm]

Thinking:

Wolf Alice - Freazy
Jamie xx - Good Times
Jamie xx - Loud Places
Blur - Go Out
Drake - Hotline Bling
Grimes - Flesh Without Blood (or did Realiti get much of a spin? I'll go that otherwise)

 

[Gibbsy]

I reckon Flesh has a better chance

That and Kill v Maim

That's what I'm deciding on now. Both fantastic songs.

Yeh I used to do that but then I realised what's the point if they probably won't get in at all? So that's why I just vote from what's on the list.

Jamie xx - Good Times

Where is the appeal in this song? Everything about it is awful.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Definitely putting in Major Lazer too. How could I forget it?! I hope it wins.

My votes are in

1. Louis the Child - "It's Strange"
(pipped "Trouble With Us" for my number one song of the year. Absolute tune, sweet, melodic and captivating. Lyrics hit the heart. "It's strange but i don't need space from you, and everything single thing you do, i like. Maybe i just knew i had to wait for you, draw a knife and carve a little space for you, it feels nice.")
2. Marcus Marr & Chet Faker - "Trouble With Us"
(Such a funky tune, gets you moving, chet faker doesnt fail)
3. Allday - "Coffin"
(Grungey, dirty and high tempo, Alldeezus's flow is sublime here and it gets the teeth gritted, banger track. I only vote for one song from each artist so it pipped Grammy here which is a bit slower and doesnt show off Allday's ability as much, allthough Grammy is also an absolute tune)
4. The Weeknd - "The Hills"
(Love the distorted sound, lyrics speaking straight truth, one to sing a long too)
5. Kid Wave - "Wanderlust"
(Upbeat, sweet song, that makes you move. One i really loved this year, although note - Snakehips remix is the one i ran through the speakers all year and it's a next level improvement)
6. Yuma X - "Swimming Pool"
(I really like a certain sound, soft yet piercing, and lingering, melodies that reverberate and lyrics that stay in your head, this song ticks all those boxes)
7. Drake - "Hotline Bling"
(Drake does it again, enjoyed it before the hype hit and still do now)
8. Snakehips - "I'm Gone"
(Throbbing beat, hauntingly beautiful vocals, this one hit repeat a few times)
9. Sam Smith (Flume Remix) - "Lay Me Down"
(Flume takes this track and blows it up, Sam Smiths vocals are amazing as always and this track felt a lot more like original flume than Some Minds)
10. Kendrick Lamar - "Alright"
(Just pipped King Kunta for my favourite song off the album, niqqa we gon be alright)

Ones that didnt make the cut
Oddisse - That's Love (remix was a lot better, couldnt get the original in on its own merit)
Major Lazer - Lean On (KREAM Remix) (Kreams remix takes this song to the next level, original lacks a bit in comparison)
Kendrick Lamar - King Kunta
Allday - Grammy
Asta - Dynamite (Ft Allday)
Disclosure - Magnets
Flume - Some Minds
ZHU x A-Trax x Kenzamdi - As Crazy As It Is
The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face
Ta-ku - Love Again

Pretty interesting list. Think there's only two songs on there that might do well.

Yeah but I guess voting isn't really about backing the popular songs as much as voting for what you like.

Oh yeah I know. It's about what you like. I just like seeing what everyone seems their favourite songs of the year. It's just interesting to see how different peoples opinions can be.

I reckon at least 6 of them will make it though

I only rekon Marcus Marr, Chvrches and Disclosure from there have a shot.

I think the top 10 will include off the top of my head:
Major lazor
Tame Impala
Drake
The weeknd
Kendrick Lamar
Grimes
Foals
Jamie xx
And the three previously mentioned

Violent Soho will absolutely make the 100.

And I think Mercy will make it over Reapers, but I prefer Reapers.

Marcus Marr, Chvrches, Disclosure, Alabama Shakes, Mini Mansions and San Sisco should all make it

I don't know the violent soho song but I despise San Cisco.
