I'm really surprised that the song "Arrows" by Fences hasn't got many (or any that I've seen) votes. I hear that track everywhere and when it came out I thought it be a good Hottest 100 performer... Not that it bothers me, I actually don't like the song much at all personally, just thought it'd be popular.

if it had been a Macklemore track with Fences featuring on the chorus, I reckon it would've been right up there, but I think the first half of the song bores everyone like it does me.

Last years hottest 100 was fantastic, this year is so average. I'd even go as far as to say it's the worst year for music as far as I can remember.

These would be my top 10 that have played commercially (bar maybe 2 of them, they are more popular overseas). Most of my actual favourites would be non singles on albums, but from the same artists. None of this urban stuff has any place in a triple J thread but I'd like to post my top songs anyway

Nick Jonas - Jelous - 20m views
No Love - August Alsina - 40m views
Foreign - Trey Songz - 5m views
Waves - Mr. Probz (RS Remix) - 100m views
Don't Tell Em - Jeremih - 23m views
DJ Khaled - Hold You Down - 38m views
Ring Gang - Lifestyle - 100m views (even tho its in gibberish)
Zedd ft Ariana Grande - Break Free -220m views
Chris Brown - New Flame - 67m views
Kid Ink - Body Language - 11m views

I stand corrected, it could be worse.

there is a reason majority of the shit in this thread isn't played on the bigger radio stations.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Ariana Grande is gorgeous though

rnb is not appreciated here, thats fine. i will enjoy my music and you can keep being an internet h8r since you only judge by outdated reputations.

 

[Loonerty]

Don't forget the time he bashed Frank Ocean for being gay. Or the time he was only sentenced to something like 100 hours of community service for bashing Rhianna to an inch of her life and he skipped doing that.

I probably won't post another list until the 15th or 18th, just before voting closes. If you have any questions about specific songs though i will answer them.

No

The Bohicas or Papa vs Pretty?

Bohicas, no chance.
Papa vs Pretty - Smoother is very little chance. I have it at #404.

 

[Loonerty]

Bohicas, no chance.

Really? That's a shame.

thewitness,
I expect these three to do well, but if you can give your latest position for each of them I would really appreciate it:
* The Griswalds - Beware the Dog
* Peking Duk - Take me Over
* Vance Joy - Mess is Mine

Ongoing thankenings for your efforts....its brilliant

 

[WALDENPOND]

Why not wait till the countdown instead of rushing.....patience.

I can understand why Vance Joy and Peking Duk are polling well due to commercial crossover, but as far as I was aware The Griswolds have only been infrequently played on Triple J only?

With the count i have them
The Griswalds - Beware the Dog #5
Peking Duk - Take me Over #6
Vance Joy - Mess is Mine #33
In reality i think it would be more like
The Griswalds - Beware the Dog (Just outside top ten)
Peking Duk - Take me Over (probably #5)
Vance Joy - Mess is Mine (Just inside top 20)
