I actually was the first person to make a thread concerning the countdown, everyone's stealing my ideas! Who cares who did it anyway. We've got this one now.
I hope #1 is Somebody That I used to Know as well. It's great when as Aussie artist get's it. Usually a lot of the songs that are popular during the voting period do the best so we could get a few surprising results.
Voting is open and my failed attempt at a FIRST! is complete

1. Somebody That I Used To Know 2. Lonely Boy 3. Video Games 4. I Love It 5. Shake It Out 6. Midnight City 7. Brother 8. Helena Beat 9. Boys Like You 10. Endless Summer
This could actually could be the hottest 100 top 10 except I wouldn't expect Helena Beat to be so high up does anyone know when the countdown begins tomorrow on Triple J radio
1. Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know 2. The Black Keys - Lonely Boy 3. Florence + the Machine - Shake It Out 4. Lana Del Rey - Video Games 5. M83 - Midnight City 6. Matt Corby - Brother 7.

Just missing out: Act Yr Age I Love It Feel So Close Pumped Up Kicks (Owl Face) Call It What You Want
100. Art Vs Art - With Thoughts
Despite the #1 being obvious... the rest of theT10 looks wide open to me! Gonna be a fun countdown, go The Weeknd, Otis, and 212!!!
1. Gotye & Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know 2. Florence & The Machine - Shake It Out 3. Hilltop Hoods - I Love It {Ft. Sia} 4. Jay-Z & Kanye West - Otis 5. Calvin Harris - Feel So Close 6. Eskimo Joe - Love Is A Drug 7. Foster The People - Helena Beat 8. Boy & Bear - Feeding Line 9. 360 & Gossling - Boys Like You 10. Jebediah - She's Like A Comet
And for 100 I'd say Foo Fighters - Rope do you remember when Wheels was 100.
It's a shame that E.T. wasn't included in the list if it did that would surely take the top spot for sure.
I'm not talking about the original I was talking about the one with Kanye West in it. Last edited:
More low-profile release from them, meaning you can be safe that Itchin' & Tongue Tied will figure much higher. "Colours" from the same EP barely missed the list last year
A solid start to the countdown. Only one song in the first ten which is dislike, that being Jay-Z/Kanye naturally. None of my votes have appeared yet, at best I'm thinking six of my ten will make it.
Another one of those moderately popular Australian (actually, nm they're from the US) artist/songs that I can never remember from the title alone. Last edited:
72. Flight Facilities (feat Jess) - Foreign Language
An anomoly for the chart, "Crave You" is clearly more popular, but this is their only charting hit. Also Jess is probably going to blow everyone away within a year
Interestingly places higher than anything from their "In Rainbows" album possibly due to a lack of a standout from that. Clearly one of the best film clips of the year too.
Way too low (well, i predicted this at #19 ), and Great Song! Travelling list continued - Paris, Beirut, Santa Fe, Bombay, Bali, Calgary, Zimbabwe, Perth, Washington, China... Last edited:
I thought that most of the songs in the countdown were going to be new songs which I hadn't heard before. But I know most of the songs. I hope to hear a lot more new songs.
generally good songs, if the pumped up kids original was allowed then it would be top 5 if not contention for #1. JJJ need to change the rules next year, if enough complain and obvious song should be allowed to chart two years in a row, if the second year was more appropriate then the first, as in this case.
I love that they said your favourite songs of last year when really it is just your favourite songs from the voting period.. Would love to see some analysis of when songs were released and their placings.
One of the most recent entries which just cracked the top 10 on iTunes. It's also the lowest placement they've gotten for any of their major albums, unless they can improve in the next year. Last edited:
Well done. It was definitely higher in my EOY in 2011 than BJP was in 2010. I just wished Otis was a bit higher, and the lack of Girls is a bit unfortunate too.
Wooo! GO GOTYE. What a year it has been for him. Also, congrats to Kimbra too, who features on the track. Great Top 10 (well, Top 11) this year. Til next year... Predictions - 3/50 - 6% and/or 3/10 - 30%
