Tuesday Tunes {Triple J Hottest 100}

Triple J totally delivered the goods on Sunday with another Hottest 100 countdown.

I can’t exactly say it’s a surprise, but nevertheless Vance Joy has lived up to everyone’s expectations and scored #1 on the 2013 Triple J Hottest 100. The uber hit Rip Tide has scored perfect points so of course Aussie’s voted correctly and picked it for #1.

The rest of the contenders were pretty impressive too.

Hottest 100 2013 – top 10 list

1. Vance Joy – Rip Tide
2. Lorde – Royals
3. Daft Punk – Get Lucky (Ft. Pharrell Williams & Nile Rodgers)
4. Arctic Monkeys – Do I Wanna Know?
5. Flume & Chet Faker – Drop The Game
6. Arctic Monkeys – Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?
7. Lana Del Rey – Young And Beautiful
8. Matt Corby – Resolution
9. The Preatures – Is This How You Feel?
10. London Grammar – Strong

So how many of my predictions made the list? Seven!

Did you pick the winner? Any surprises that crept into the list?

Happy Hottest 100 Day

The snags are ready. The Aussie flag is up. The cricket bat is ready. The BBQ is clean. Beer and wine on ice. Lamingtons prepared. Ice blocks are frozen.

It’s time to crack a tinnie {did I just say that?} and settle in for Triple J’s Hottest 100 2013 song countdown.

Listening to the hottest 100 countdown is my favourite part about Australia Day. It’s a guarantee of great tunes, good times and banter between friends.

In no particular order, here are my top 10 predictions:

The Preatures – Is This How You Feel?
Kite String Tangle – Given The Chance
Daft Punk – Get Lucky
London Grammar – Strong
Matt Corby – Resolution
Lorde – Royals
Haim – The Wire
Vance Joy – Rip Tide
RÜFÜS – Take Me
Flume/Chet Faker – Drop The Game

…….. and my NUMBER #1 song of 2013?
Rudimental – Free

Yep. I voted for Rudimental! There is no way it’ll be number #1 but it’s MY number #1 and I love it!

Who did you vote for?  I think Lorde and Daft Punk will slug it out for the number #1 spot.

To all my Aussie readers, HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY. I hope the sun is shining wherever you are today.
