Triple J – Hottest 100 2017

27 Jan Triple J – Hottest 100 2017

I love listening to the Hottest 100 on Triple J. It is such a great way to find new music. And this year was very special, because they changed the date of the broadcast to be not on Australia Day or Survival Day as Indigenous Australia call it, out of respect for Indigenous Australians.

It was a great countdown. I didn’t realise that Gang of Youths had struck a chord with so many people. It was great to hear so much of them in the Hottest 100.

My favourite song of the whole 100 was one I have heard in passing, but it has so much soul – Feel it Still by Portugal. The Man (a Canadian group, of all things!).

I did find a few new bands that I was not aware of. I would love to hear more of Methyl Ethyl and Baker Boy was another stand out!!
