#4 was just another Tame Impala so we didn't want to waste space. Not really, my internet crashed. Sorry. #3 IS MAJOR LAZORRRRRRRRRR

Oh man here we go, what's left to win? Kendrick? The Rubens? Another Courtney Barnett track?

Another Disclosure track at #10. This one featuring Lorde.
Posted at
Meg Mac at #11! What a story for her over the last couple of years.
Posted at
Aaaannnnnd now it's Duke Dumont at #13!
Posted at
"Hotline Bling" doesn't even make the Top 10!
Posted at
It's Vance Joy at #16 and we're getting to the pointy end.

A deep cut on many levels.

DJ Snake finally gets a spot, I've been waiting all day.

I miss the songs that screamed at you.
Posted at
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis take #18 with "DOWNTOWN".
Posted at
Tom Cruise's favourite act of 2015, The Weeknd, is spicing things up at #19.

"From more than 2 million votes these are the twenty TASTIESTTTT tunes that 2015 has cooked up."

Aaaaaaaaanddd Daniel Ricciardo is awake.

GANG OF YOUTHS with "Magnolia"! A great song from a great album. If you haven't heard their cover of "Heroes," you gotta check it up.
Posted at
Last track before we get to the Top 20 is......
Posted at
Massive year for the boys from SAFIA, who get another spot at #23.
Posted at
Flume gets the spot everyone's been waiting for him to get. Great track #24.
Posted at
More Jamie XX (#26). So many favorites for the Top 10 have already come and gone. What's gonna make it? Drake?
Posted at
#27 and it seems we're heading into the wind-down before the start of the Top 20. Vallis Alps came from Triple J Unearthed, awesome stuff to see them so high up the list.
Posted at
Solid Oz Day setup going on in this pic:
Posted at
Seems like everyone loved The Wombats this year; this in at #29.
Posted at
Also, let's take this opportunity to reflect on Karl Stefanovic, who earlier today blew his thongs out.
Posted at
Wil Anderson, like most of Australia, is drunk.
Posted at
Still no Sufjan.
Posted at
This just in: Pocock loves Urthboy.
Posted at
Oh, completely forgot about Jamie XX. He'll definitely have quite a few tracks coming up. What an album, what a tune. 👍👍👍
Posted at
Urthboy & Bertie Blackman is such a great combo - great track at #33 "Long Loud Hours."
Posted at
BREAKING: Neil Diamond has won the SmoothFM #Smoothest100!!!!!!
Posted at
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at what's going on at Triple J.
Posted at
More trippy album artwork as Tame Impala go in at #34.
Posted at
We have just under three hours left, and SAFIA is #35 with "Counting Sheep." Stay awake, though. We're almost at the top 20.
Posted at
~allll my friendsss are wasteeedddd~ #36
Posted at
Kendrick Lamar gets his first, and probably not last, spot on this year's Hottest 100 with "Alright" at #37.
Posted at
Florence and the Machine with some more tracks in the 100. She's creeping up on Courtney Barnett, surely?
Posted at
We're back. Sorry, my computer crashed again. I'm not sure if our site has handled a post with this many embeds at once before. #39 is Illy. The chorus is a lot of him saying "Fuck you."
Posted at
Claptone just came on with some very very strange voice modification going on... Regardless, this track is 🔥 🔥 🔥

Yep, Courtney Barnett has had FOUR entries already in the Hottest 100. Wolfmother has the record for most in the one year with SIX. So let's see if history is about to be made.
Posted at
Posted at
Courtney Barnett's had so many songs in this Hottest 100 we've almost run out of things to say. "Pedestrian at best" is #43.
Posted at
Had to step out for a bit, sincere apologies, but Hayden James' "Something About You" is some stunning stuff. I'd also never seen the album art, which is very striking indeed.
Posted at
Bring Me The Horizon at #45. They've had plenty of tracks this year. Good for them.
Posted at
Goood beats. #47 is Asta feat. Allday.
Posted at
oooooh that's what he's saying.
Posted at
We're well into the Top 50 now. Nothin' but bangers.
Posted at
Oh good, that dude is screaming at me again.
Posted at
I have a theory that every San Cisco song was tailor made to appear on a Judd Appatow film. Anyway, "Too Much Time Together" is on at #49.
Posted at
I'll give $1 to whoever brings me a latte.
Posted at
Boo Seeka's "Deception Bay" is #50, but more importantly look at this:
Posted at
Same.
Posted at
It's CHVRCHES. They hate U.
Posted at
Ratatat was always a really under-used Pokemon imo. Like, I understand that it was a normal type, but hyperfang is a curious move. It has a really high critical hit chance. Also, they're kinda cool looking. Never really understood why they were purple tho
Posted at
It's Matt Corby! Here's how to sing every Matt Corby song ever: pout your lips like you're saying "ooh" and then just say "ooh" at different volumes and length! You're welcome, it's angelic!
Posted at
Indie darling Skrillex is up next, teaming up with ZHU to get "Working For It" to #54.
Posted at
These kiwi dudes are awesome I saw them live a few months back and the singer climbed up the speakers. IDK why, because he just got back down. But it was interesting, I tell you what.
Posted at
Now's as good a time as ever to check in on BuzzFeed News reporter Lane Sainty. Lane?
Posted at
Sia is apparently still breathing and "Alive" ;) ;) ;) at #56. Good on her. Weird, though. Expected her to be higher.
Posted at
Oh this is nice. I mean. I can't tell if its just because they're not screaming at me.
Posted at
#58 is Parkway Drive. The singer sounds very angry, I hope he is OK.
Posted at
Alison Wonderland (cool) hits #59 (also cool).
Posted at
Oh Christ these dudes got Triple J tattoos.
Posted at
We've only got 60 tracks left! This song is called "Kamikaze" I haven't heard of it before today but y'know what, I reckon it's pretty great.
Posted at
Annnnnnnnd straight after getting your heart racing with Disclosure we're back to the chill vibes of Tame Impala.
Posted at
Yoooooo Disclosure's "Omen" with Sam Smith is at #62 and yes my computer did crash (again).
Posted at
Alabama Shakes in at #65 with "Don't Wanna Fight." Funny story about Alabama actually. One time I was trekking through America's south and at around 1am, in Alabama, my car was stopped and searched by police. Haha, good story. Anyway. This is a good song.
Posted at
TKAY Maidza gets her first track in the Hottest 100, probably the first of many!
Posted at
Someone just proposed on radio! Also, another dude texted in to say he just lost his virginity to the countdown. Good for him, I guess. Anyway here's The Wombats (again).
Posted at
Side note: Snapchat forgot Tasmania on their Australia Day filters today :S
Posted at
We're definitely picking up the tempo now. Skepta's "Shutdown" blaring through at #68.
Posted at
It's the sex number! #69 is Japanese Wallpaper.
Posted at
Florence & The Machine's breakup track, "What Kind of Man" at #70.
Posted at
Yesssssssss Grimes with "Flesh Without Blood" at #71! Any "Merchant of Venice" fans out there?
Posted at
#72 is Birds of Tokyo! Did you know they got their name after one of the members read about the lack of birds in Tokyo's CBD because of pollution? Well, now you do.
Posted at
Apologies, the internet seemed to be messin' up a bit. We're back though. Major Lazer played at #74, which makes it three for the day. Now it's NGAIIRE at #73, "Once" being one of the most chill songs of the year.
Posted at
Whoops, I also forgot Linda is now on! Courtney Barnett gets ANOTHER song on the countdown (making it three!) This one is "Elavator Operator" at #75.
Posted at
Lewi says "dildo-swaggins" before announcing #76 is British India's "Suddenly." It's also his last song of the day as we await Zan Rowe.
Posted at
The DMA's, who had one of their tracks in a covered version earlier in the countdown, are at #77!
Posted at
For those of you out there enjoying your Australia Day barbecue: do be careful of little critters!
Posted at
We bring the mood down a little bit for #78, chillin' with Jack Garratt's "Weathered."
Posted at
The Cat Empire, who were one of the first albums my mum ever bought me, are in at #79 with "Wolves."
Posted at
More swearing as A$AP Rocky's "Everyday" crashes through at #80.
Posted at
#81 on the countdown is some Aussie dude rapping over an old Angus & Julia Stone track. OK?
Posted at
Let's check in on BuzzFeed News' Lane Sainty. Lane?
Posted at
This is... Not a bad idea.
Posted at
No Sufjan Stevens yet. Like, I get that it's not exactly uplifting music. But still...
Posted at
... And another one.
Posted at
Flight Facilities crushin' it rn with ~another~ track.
Posted at
Have not heard a Shannon Noll track yet. Understandable, really. We aren't even CLOSE to the top 20.
Posted at
And we've got our first Like A Version cover to make the Hottest 100: Sticky Fingers' "Delete" in at #84.
Posted at
This song is going for everrrrrrrrrr. Ah well - for those of you who aren't in Australia, you can listen here.
Posted at
This Flight Facilities track (feat. Owl Eyes) is *such* a bop.
Posted at
All I've had to eat today is some yoghurt. Anyway...
Posted at
#86 and we get another language warning. Also this band is absolutely screaming at us.
Posted at
The BuzzFeed Oz office is ~PuMmppPiiiiInnnnnGGGG~
Posted at
Purity Ring bring out their chill vibes. The office is shakin' I tells ya.

We're warned that they next song has a few naughty words, and it couldn't be truer for a band like The Bennies. Their track "Party Machine" is #88!
Posted at
Lana Del Rey gets her first in the Hottest 100 at #89.
Posted at
Lewi tell us that five of those last ten tracks featured female artists. Good stuff!
Posted at
#90 is What So Not's "Gemini." Makes me feel sleepy, not great for 12:50PM.
Posted at
How are you celebrating Australia Day? Here's where I'm at:
Posted at
The Wombats, who are apparently still a thing, are #91 with "Be Your Shadow." Good for them, I say. They're a fun bunch.
Posted at
Good lord above Sydney is beautiful today.
Posted at
Golden Features (along with the incredible Thelma Plum) are #92 with "No One".
Posted at
Jai Wolf's "Indian Summer" is #93 and it is a tuuuuuuuuuuunnnnneeeeeeee.
Posted at
Some people are seriously pumped for this.
Posted at
Lewi just gave a shoutout to a bunch of people. One of them was called "Grub Dog." What a country.
Posted at
Meanwhile BuzzFeed News reporter Lane Sainty is really enjoying the #Smoothest100 on SmoothFM.
Posted at
Halsey's "Ghost" is #94!
Posted at
Courtney Barnett, who many have tipped to win the countdown, gets her first song in the Hottest 100 at #95: "Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go To The Party".
Posted at
Number 96 is Rudimental's "Rumour Mill"!
Posted at
Sledges rolling on on Twitter after Lewi's mixup.
Posted at
Turns out the order of music was screwed up, so switch that Major Lazer and Methyl Ethel track around. Good one Lewis!
Posted at
Major Lazer's "Be Together" is #97!
Posted at
"My grandma is 98," rings the radio as Methyl Ethel's "Twilight Driving" plays.
Posted at
While we're in the early parts of the countdown, take a look at this: BuzzFeed Oz went through all the Hottest 100s since 1993 and counted out *just* how many female artists there has been.
Posted at
Intense start. #99 is Bring Me The Horizon!
Posted at
And we're off! Seth Sentry bringing in the Hottest 100 at #100 with his track "Hell Boy".
Posted at
Fifty-four of the songs in this year's Hottest 100 will be Aussie tracks!

Also, don't forget to follow BuzzFeed News reporter Lane Sainty, who is live tweeting the Smooth FM #Smoothest100.

Half an hour before the countdown and Twitter is pushing hard to get all of its jokes out before it all begins.
It's finally here: Triple J's Hottest 100 kicks off today at 12PM AEDT, and BuzzFeed is counting down with the rest of the nation as we get closer and closer to that Number One spot.
