A deep cut on many levels.
TRIPLE J TEXT LINE: "Where's Hamish and Andy??" #hottest100
DJ Snake finally gets a spot, I've been waiting all day.
#17 @djsnake - ‘Middle’ {Ft. @bipolarsunshine} #Hottest100
I miss the songs that screamed at you.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis take #18 with "DOWNTOWN".
#18 @macklemore & @RyanLewis- ‘DOWNTOWN’ {Ft. @nallyeric/Melle Mel/@mckoolmoedee/@grandmastercaz} #Hottest100
Tom Cruise's favourite act of 2015, The Weeknd, is spicing things up at #19.
#19 @theweeknd - ‘The Hills’ #Hottest100
"From more than 2 million votes these are the twenty TASTIESTTTT tunes that 2015 has cooked up."
Aaaaaaaaanddd Daniel Ricciardo is awake.
Woke up, it's Australia Day so what does one do? Streams #Hottest100 @triplej. Living in Europe won't take away some traditions 🙌🏼🇦🇺
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.
Last track before we get to the Top 20 is......
Massive year for the boys from SAFIA, who get another spot at #23.
Flume gets the spot everyone's been waiting for him to get. Great track #24.
#24 @flumemusic - ‘Some Minds’ {Ft. @Wyattish} #Hottest100
More Jamie XX (#26). So many favorites for the Top 10 have already come and gone. What's gonna make it? Drake?
#26 @jamie___xx - ‘I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)’ {Ft. @youngthug / @PopcaanMusic} #Hottest100
#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.
#27 @vallisalps - ‘Young’ #Hottest100
Solid Oz Day setup going on in this pic:
Fave peeps #AustraliaDay #Hottest100 @ScottBament

Seems like everyone loved The Wombats this year; this in at #29.
#29 @thewombats - ‘Greek Tragedy’ #Hottest100
Also, let's take this opportunity to reflect on Karl Stefanovic, who earlier today blew his thongs out.
Oh no @karlstefanovic busted a plugga! #straya #Today9
Wil Anderson, like most of Australia, is drunk.
Number 30: Peking Duk. Make up your own Chinese Restaurant jokes at hoe I am too drunk #Hottest100
Still no Sufjan.
This just in: Pocock loves Urthboy.
#tune! This was in my Top 10. #hottest100 https://t.co/SbKYJ2l0AT
Oh, completely forgot about Jamie XX. He'll definitely have quite a few tracks coming up. What an album, what a tune. 👍👍👍
#31 @jamie___xx - ‘Loud Places’ {Ft. Romy} #Hottest100
Urthboy & Bertie Blackman is such a great combo - great track at #33 "Long Loud Hours."
BREAKING: Neil Diamond has won the SmoothFM #Smoothest100!!!!!!
And... number one goes to Neil Diamond, Sweet Caroline! #Smoothest100
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at what's going on at Triple J.
It's #hottest100 day and I'm jacked up on lamingtons playing some wonderful tunes with my friend from school 💯⚡️👌
More trippy album artwork as Tame Impala go in at #34.
#34 @tameimpala - ‘Eventually’ #Hottest100
We have just under three hours left, and SAFIA is #35 with "Counting Sheep." Stay awake, though. We're almost at the top 20.
#35 @SAFIAmusic - ‘Counting Sheep’ #Hottest100
~allll my friendsss are wasteeedddd~ #36
#36 @snakehipsuk - ‘All My Friends’ {Ft. @Tinashe/@chancetherapper} #Hottest100
Also 2016 is for sure gonna be the year of Chance the Rapper.
Kendrick Lamar gets his first, and probably not last, spot on this year's Hottest 100 with "Alright" at #37.
Florence and the Machine with some more tracks in the 100. She's creeping up on Courtney Barnett, surely?
.@flo_tweet (Florence And The Machine) - Delilah [16:52]
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."
#39 @illyal - ‘Swear Jar’ #Hottest100
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.
For those asking, that was @courtneymelba's fourth entry into this year's #Hottest100
It's Michael Buble! #Smoothest100
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.
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.
#44 @haydenj_music - ‘Something About You’ #Hottest100
Bring Me The Horizon at #45. They've had plenty of tracks this year. Good for them.
#45 @bmthofficial - ‘Throne’ #Hottest100
Goood beats. #47 is Asta feat. Allday.
#47 @Asta_world - ‘Dynamite’ {Ft. @alldaychubbyboy} #Hottest100
oooooh that's what he's saying.
Like this song by Parkway Drive but as far as I can tell all the lyrics are FUCK YOU DAD #Hottest100
We're well into the Top 50 now. Nothin' but bangers.
Oh good, that dude is screaming at me again.
#48 @parkwayofficial - ‘Crushed’ #Hottest100
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.
I'll give $1 to whoever brings me a latte.
Boo Seeka's "Deception Bay" is #50, but more importantly look at this:
A cracker for number 17: Frankie Valli's Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You #Smoothest100
Same.
The Hottest 100? Never heard of it. In fact, I've never listened to any music. I am above sound.
It's CHVRCHES. They hate U.
#51 @CHVRCHES - ‘Clearest Blue’ #Hottest100
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
#52 @ratatatmusic - ‘Cream On Chrome’ #Hottest100
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!
#53 @MattCorby - ‘Monday’ #Hottest100
Indie darling Skrillex is up next, teaming up with ZHU to get "Working For It" to #54.
#54 @ZHUmusik x @Skrillex x @unofficialTHEY - ‘Working For It’ #Hottest100
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.
#55 @UMO - ‘Multi-Love’ #Hottest100
Now's as good a time as ever to check in on BuzzFeed News reporter Lane Sainty. Lane?
Sia is apparently still breathing and "Alive" ;) ;) ;) at #56. Good on her. Weird, though. Expected her to be higher.
#56 @Sia - ‘Alive’ #Hottest100
Oh this is nice. I mean. I can't tell if its just because they're not screaming at me.
#57 @alpineband - ‘Foolish’ #Hottest100
#58 is Parkway Drive. The singer sounds very angry, I hope he is OK.
Alison Wonderland (cool) hits #59 (also cool).
#59 @AWonderDJ - ‘Run’ #Hottest100
Oh Christ these dudes got Triple J tattoos.
What can I say... @mattandalex fans are loyal #PackErUpBoys
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.
Annnnnnnnd straight after getting your heart racing with Disclosure we're back to the chill vibes of Tame Impala.
#61 @tameimpala - ‘‘Cause I'm A Man’ #Hottest100
Yoooooo Disclosure's "Omen" with Sam Smith is at #62 and yes my computer did crash (again).
#62 @disclosure - ‘Omen’ {Ft. @samsmithworld} #Hottest100
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.
TKAY Maidza gets her first track in the Hottest 100, probably the first of many!
#66 @TkayMaidza - ‘M.O.B.’ #Hottest100
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).
#67 @thewombats - ‘Give Me A Try’ #Hottest100
Side note: Snapchat forgot Tasmania on their Australia Day filters today :S
We're definitely picking up the tempo now. Skepta's "Shutdown" blaring through at #68.
It's the sex number! #69 is Japanese Wallpaper.
#69 @jpnswllppr - ‘Forces’ {Ft. @airlingx} #Hottest100
Florence & The Machine's breakup track, "What Kind of Man" at #70.
#70 @flo_tweet + The Machine - ‘What Kind Of Man’ #Hottest100
Yesssssssss Grimes with "Flesh Without Blood" at #71! Any "Merchant of Venice" fans out there?
#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.
#72 @BIRDSOFTOKYO - ‘Anchor’ #Hottest100
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.
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.
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.
The DMA's, who had one of their tracks in a covered version earlier in the countdown, are at #77!
#77 @dmasmusic - ‘Lay Down’ #Hottest100
For those of you out there enjoying your Australia Day barbecue: do be careful of little critters!
We bring the mood down a little bit for #78, chillin' with Jack Garratt's "Weathered."
#78 @JackGarratt - ‘Weathered’ #Hottest100
The Cat Empire, who were one of the first albums my mum ever bought me, are in at #79 with "Wolves."
More swearing as A$AP Rocky's "Everyday" crashes through at #80.
#80 @asvpxrocky - ‘Everyday’ {Ft. @rodstewart/@miguel/@MarkRonson} #Hottest100
It is my understanding that he still loves bad bitches.
#81 on the countdown is some Aussie dude rapping over an old Angus & Julia Stone track. OK?
Let's check in on BuzzFeed News' Lane Sainty. Lane?
@lanesainty lost my mind seeing Stevie Nicks do Gyspy live. What a moment.
This is... Not a bad idea.
the triple j hottest 100 should let you vote for ten songs and against one.
No Sufjan Stevens yet. Like, I get that it's not exactly uplifting music. But still...
... And another one.
#82 @courtneymelba - ‘Depreston’ #Hottest100
Flight Facilities crushin' it rn with ~another~ track.
#83 @FlightFac - ‘Down To Earth’ {Radio Edit} #Hottest100
Have not heard a Shannon Noll track yet. Understandable, really. We aren't even CLOSE to the top 20.
And we've got our first Like A Version cover to make the Hottest 100: Sticky Fingers' "Delete" in at #84.
#84 @sti_fi - ‘Delete’ {triple j Like A Version} #Hottest100
This song is going for everrrrrrrrrr. Ah well - for those of you who aren't in Australia, you can listen here.
This Flight Facilities track (feat. Owl Eyes) is *such* a bop.
#85 @FlightFac - ‘Heart Attack’ {Ft. @thisisowleyes} {Radio Edit} #Hottest100
All I've had to eat today is some yoghurt. Anyway...
#86 and we get another language warning. Also this band is absolutely screaming at us.
#86 @bmthofficial - ‘Happy Song’ #Hottest100
The BuzzFeed Oz office is ~PuMmppPiiiiInnnnnGGGG~
Christ the office is going OFF
Purity Ring bring out their chill vibes. The office is shakin' I tells ya.
#87 @PURITY_RING - ‘Begin Again’ #Hottest100
Purity Ring bring out their chill vibes. The office is shakin' I tells ya.
#87 @PURITY_RING - ‘Begin Again’ #Hottest100
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!
Lana Del Rey gets her first in the Hottest 100 at #89.
#89 @LanaDelRey - ‘High By The Beach’ #Hottest100
Lewi tell us that five of those last ten tracks featured female artists. Good stuff!
#90 is What So Not's "Gemini." Makes me feel sleepy, not great for 12:50PM.
#90 @WhatSoNot - ‘Gemini’ {Ft. @georgemaplemusi} #Hottest100
How are you celebrating Australia Day? Here's where I'm at:
TFW you're the only one in the office on Australia Day
The Wombats, who are apparently still a thing, are #91 with "Be Your Shadow." Good for them, I say. They're a fun bunch.
Good lord above Sydney is beautiful today.
The view on #AustraliaDay is 👌🏻
Golden Features (along with the incredible Thelma Plum) are #92 with "No One".
Jai Wolf's "Indian Summer" is #93 and it is a tuuuuuuuuuuunnnnneeeeeeee.
#93 @JaiWolfx - ‘Indian Summer’ #Hottest100
(I'm going to go pee now brb).
Some people are seriously pumped for this.
Just a little excited @triplej #Hottest100 #AustraliaDay
Lewi just gave a shoutout to a bunch of people. One of them was called "Grub Dog." What a country.
Meanwhile BuzzFeed News reporter Lane Sainty is really enjoying the #Smoothest100 on SmoothFM.
The thing, Smooth FM really is my easy place to relax. Johnny Farnham's Burn For You at no. 59. #Smoothest100
Halsey's "Ghost" is #94!
#94 @halsey - ‘Ghost’ #Hottest100
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".
Number 96 is Rudimental's "Rumour Mill"!
Sledges rolling on on Twitter after Lewi's mixup.
Hahahaha Lewi you've had an absolute shocker mate #Hottest100
Turns out the order of music was screwed up, so switch that Major Lazer and Methyl Ethel track around. Good one Lewis!
Major Lazer's "Be Together" is #97!
"My grandma is 98," rings the radio as Methyl Ethel's "Twilight Driving" plays.
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.
Intense start. #99 is Bring Me The Horizon!
#99 @bmthofficial - ‘True Friends’ #Hottest100
And we're off! Seth Sentry bringing in the Hottest 100 at #100 with his track "Hell Boy".
#100 @sethsentry - ‘Hell Boy’ #Hottest100
Fifty-four of the songs in this year's Hottest 100 will be Aussie tracks!
Today you'll hear 54 Aussie songs & 26 artists who've never been in the @triplej #hottest100 before 🔥💯😎 https://t.co/pZR3uNHLiD
Also, don't forget to follow BuzzFeed News reporter Lane Sainty, who is live tweeting the Smooth FM #Smoothest100.
So Daryl Braithwaite's 'The Horses' came in at 71. I think I missed some Simon & Garfunkel while I was in the shower, too #Smoothest100
Half an hour before the countdown and Twitter is pushing hard to get all of its jokes out before it all begins.
hottest 100 party at my place today. all welcome. it's the hottest 100 tom waits songs tho
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.
