Triple J hottest 100 of 2012 Prediction thread.

[Piko]

Agreed, was trying to find live betting to get something on that. None of my betting companies have it unfortunately.

I believe sportingbet had it, always have a lot of hottest 100 options.

They also seem have minimal idea of what the top 20 would be based on their odds (yes i know gamblers alter these but if you see them when they first go up.. you will understand)

and the Aussie Hip Hop shite begins...

only a primitive country like australia who has primitive people watching that primitive sport would vote for" bah bah blacksheep "as number 1 song for the year 2012

 

[La Dispute]

None of my songs are getting in.

Feeling terrible at the moment.

Wombats 4th song with Jump Into The Fog at #18. Has anyone else come close to most songs per artist so far? Can't really remember.

Boy & Bear have 3 atm I think.

EDIT: No only 2.

Kimbra has 3. Next closest.

Surprised Architecture didn't get top 10. And that Call It What You Want went higher than Helena Beat (albeit by only one position).

Some bloke has gone nuts on Wiki. Makes it easy to see how many artists have the most.

Bon Iver, Florence + The Machine, Foster The People, Grouplove and Kimbra all have three with the Wombats obviously having four.

Gee he's quick

Jordy from San Cisco sounds like a 12 year old.

Brother is one of my fav songs as the moment, so stoked it came in at 3rd. Matt Corby is a gun! Had a feeling it'd finish up close to one of the most popular songs in Lonely Boy.

Thanks to both artists and the voting public for helping make me some $.

I haven't read all 7 pages, but if it weren't for the once a year triple j listeners (who would've voted pumped up kicks to number 1), I wouldn't see Gotye winning.

with a couple of exceptions, timing has proven to be everything over the years. who will ever forget the pretty fly for a white guy debacle? (aside from most of their listeners who probably weren't alive )

if it weren't for the once a year voters, any of the following songs would be balls deep in it:

Lana del ray - video games: I don't listen to commercial radio, but I've seen this on MTV and V, so I assume its out there. I voted for it too.

the black keys - lonely boy: hasn't had too many mentions in this thread, but everyone loves this song, they played the shit out of it in the radio and it was timed to perfection.

San Cisco - awkward: I could easily see this cracking the top 10

hilltop hoods - I love it: popular, great timing... I just don't see hip hop ever winning.


I like gotye, but I saw him at 2 different festivals in the last 2 weeks, and he sucked both times. it was due to technical issues - but if the same thing keeps happening, change your show.

thought this post from 29 december was worth quoting, because it was the first one that had black keys and san cisco in the top 10.

just sayin

My thoughts as well
Disappointed that only 1 Jezabels song made the top 100

 

[Oscarman]

Distinct lack of electric guitar through the countdown somewhat tempered by Lonely Boy making #2. Is rock out of favour with the average JJJ listener?

 

[Ninty]

Boring 100.

360 used to be okay but he's making Aussie hip hop a ****ing joke. Drapht has the most annoying voice there is.

Gotye, Boy & Bear, Foster the People, The Wombats and Kimbra are ****ing boring.

I love Owl Eyes but a cover shouldn't be considered.

I like Illy but Cigarettes is a 2010 song.

Meh.

 

[Marklar_33]

Did they play #101 this year?

 

[sblack]

Did they play #101 this year?

Nope, straight into 100

 

[Marklar_33]

I posted it here on my Facebook almost two weeks ago: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150481599522876

I realise I posted it late, but I've posted it in a few different tipping comps so it's on the record.

You posted earlier in this thread also, did you not?

 

[Plugger35]

I hardly even bother listening to the Hottest 100 anymore, looking at that list I didn't miss anything. It really has gone to shit the last few years.

Gotye's song would have been lucky to make the top 20 back in the nineties.

 

[Warsaw]

So I thought Helplessness Blues would of been a top 10. Nope not even top 100. No Fleet Foxes at all made the 100. My beard is massively disappointed. No Horrors either. Pretty cut/

 

[kBuck]

68/100. My goodness listening to 90-100 was burtal. More, sober analysis to come.

Just sayin I said the wombats with 4 about 17 pages ago. Just sayin.

How can your beard be disappointed when The Beards made it in at 98?

 

[kBuck]

Cause I'm drunk and bored I'm going to update the OP to include the actual 100. You can thank me later, when I'm sober.

Edit: At a quick drunk glance i have the witness topping with 80 followed by drummosolo with 70 and myself with 68.

So far it seems that amount played on triple J does not really influence who people vote for.

 

[Sanigav]

Ahhhh, another year and another time the bookies don't have a clue regarding this market. Easy $510 profit thanks to Lonely Boy smashing the overrated Boring and Bear and Calvin Harris. YEEEEEEHHHHAAAAA!
