Well, a good friend of mine told me the NO.1 was leaked, I flat out told her if she spoiled my day i would be VERY disappointed.
I was hoping for Florence to hit NO1(knew it wouldn’t), my next choice was little lion man, yayayayayayyayaayayayayayyayayya. I’m very happy with the result and the 1st year i got it right

HEY MOST PECULAR MAMA (or what ever the f you call yourself), you are the crap fest, why are u joining this discussion if it is a ‘crap fest’ go back to yor crev. u r an effing dik. by by

Ern’sCat & Chind - agreed. Most had stopped feeding that troll last year but over the break some new, good hearted, people seemed to think that it could be reasoned with. They rapidly realised it ain’t so.
I believe that it uses several different names (the ‘style’ is easily discernible) so, on detection, DO NOT FEED.

Unfortunately too many, EMC.

I call for a collective boycott. Just pretend she’s not there and eventually she’ll get bored and bugger back off to Andrew Bolt’s blog.

does this site not have some sort of moderator? how can harrybelbarry get away with calling Alan Jones a [Mod. comment deleted] as though that’s what’s offensive about him, not his views and the manne in which he conducts his show. it’s very disapponting to see homophobia perpetrated on Crikey. you should be ashamed harrybelbarry.

[Moderators note: we absolutely do not encourage homophobic comments on Crikey. Unfortunately sometimes things slip through the safety net. Thanks for drawing our attention to it. It has been moderated. ]

So is Crikey a tabloid now! Seeking cheap publicity by leaking this info. You didn’t have to leak it, but it seems by doing so you’ve made some headlines around the country. Very much a tabloid thing to do.

Hahaha Well spotted Crikey I say!
BTW… community radio in Brisbane - 4ZZZ - has been doing a much more interesting top 100 for many years.

Who still listens to triple J? Hundreds of thousands of people who enjoy the music and programming provided by triple J. Some people are determined to dislike anything that is enjoyed by many other people, regardless of merit. They will only enjoy music, film, literature and arts which are truly ‘underground’ or not recognised in the mainstream. This is a terribly small mindset and at its core stems from ego and pretentiousness. Sure triple j dont cover the full gamut of quality music that is out there, but thats because it is a youth station. The music they do play is of excellent variety and quality. They are an important and unique national radio station, and without them Australia would be missing a jewel in its radio crown.

Settle down you lot. Its only a radio station. Personally I am a j’s listener, where I live I have no choice. We only get the j’s, the ABC and a local AM station belting out the best of the 60s and 70s. As for internet radio, crikey it took me ten minutes to download this page. (I recently asked a Telstra bloke when we were getting broadband and he laughed and said ‘you lot only just got star ten hash’). Anyway I love the j’s but at the end of the day I believe in a person’s right to listen to whatever the hell they want without being judged by others.

who still listens to triple J? well, lots of people in regional australia who don’t have great community radio available to them. As a radio producer and presenter I stopped listening to triple J as soon as I discovered the true brilliance of Triple R and PBS in Melbourne. Of course I didn’t have those options on the south coast of NSW.

@plonk clearly there would be no commercial banter as triple j is a non commercial radio station supported by the 8c a day that tax payers pay the abc.

Off topic, hey @crikey web masters, could you make it any more harder to post comments using a mobile browser, needing to register when i could use a word press account and that password you email out is utter shit, couldnt you let us pick our own off the bat at least? Try entering it in on a mobile while you cant even have it open in another window…

@mpm

have you actually listened to anything that is on the aria charts at the moment? there’s heaps of great music if you take the time to look. i challenge you not to shake your ass to the black eyed peas ‘i gotta feeling’ - beware, you may even have fun!

of course the music industry is a business. it’s an industry

but music is not about business.

music is fun.

haha. That is such a funny story. If any one really cares anyway. Maybe they do, who knows.
I remember when the hottest hundred was born and it all seemed to matter, as Love will Tear Us Apart found it’s rightful place back in ‘89.
But I mean, did this poll ever really matter since the year that Tim Freedman sat on his computer all night/accessed it at every opportunity to vote over and over and over and over and…you get the oicture, to ensure No Aphrodisiac won the 1997 poll (True story)…

i listen to triple j because well i don’t have access to internet radio in my car and it’s the best of a very bad bunch. JJJ is just like any other crappy commercial station, they happen to play different shit to slightly more pathetic stations but the material is equally bland and repetitive, although i do enjoy some of the segments they play late at night such as Sound Lab.
MPM - i’m on your side. you may be a little more heated about it than i am but it’s true. Triple J is just like any other station, especially their prime time programs and the sooner JJJ listeners realise this the sooner they can pull their heads out of their asses and stop thinking they’re so cool and indie

Wow, its funny how lots of people who don’t listen to Triple J have strong opinions about the Hottest 100.

MPM really shows its pain with this derailing - more posts by it (and more verbiage though that’s per usual) than all others combined.

“…BTW, you still didn’t say what sort of music you listen to. How about some examples?…”

Everything and anything. Depends on my mood.

I am open to everything, even the stuff that is yet to be written.

Maybe even some of the stuff YOU like.

Sadly the art of live peformance is being swallowed up by venues who think I want to listen to some wiggah scratch ‘toons’ out from his iPod.

They do ‘cause he’s cheap. Talent is event a consideration. Meanwhile a million left-handed motherfuckin’ genius guitarists play to the mirror in their bedroom instead of in front of an audience where they belong.

Nothing competes with the sweaty, sticky carpet goodness of a good live band…never has, never will.

Or the 4AM souvlaki with extra sauce after the gig.

Until of course they shut all the venues down.

I like a list with personality, where a definite stance is taken on the type of music listed. hottest one hundred is very dull listening, and although I have never listened to it on the radio, i can imagine you would also be hearing a lot of moronic commercial banter. if that’s your cup of tea, knock yourself out.

MPM,
Thanks…I will check out internet radio.

One more and you’ve got a straight flush.

“…FYI (???)- who do you consider ‘shit new talent’?…”

Where does one start. The entire ARIA chart?

How about Ke$ha and work back from there.

Or is she not eligible because edgy yoof stations like JJJ would never play such commercial pap; only the ‘cool’ stuff, ‘edgy’ fun people like you listen too?

The music industry is a business; it’s there to make money.

Creativity runs a very distant second.
