The Hottest 100 is almost here, and in anticipation of triple j's countdown this Sunday, we had some local acts share with us who they voted for and why.

OCEAN ALLEY

Matt Corby - All That I See

Phantastic Ferniture - Fuckin 'N' Rollin

Maze - Nice Biscuit

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - Sister's Jeans

"Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever's interwoven guitars on Sister's Jeans are bloody magical. The dreamy, warm slide guitar drives the song, and the lyrics add drama as they describe someone's dusty morning. It's uplifting, melancholic, and it's an absolute ripper."

MALLRAT

Allday - Wonder Drug

Tyne James Organ - Graceful

Cub Sport - Sometimes

Golden Vessel - Hesitate

Skegss - Up In The Clouds

Eves Karydas - Further Than The Planes Fly

Billie Eilish - When The Party's Over

A$AP Rocky feat. Skepta - Praise Da Lord

Maggie Rogers - Falling Water

Tia Gostelow feat. Lanks - Strangers

Kota Banks - I'm It

“I'm so excited for the countdown! Didn't realise that Groceries was so popular until I started seeing these Hottest 100 predictions. Crossing all my fingers.”

WAFIA

“This year I voted for Childish Gambino and Travis Scott alongside Tkay Maidza and Jeffe. As for placing, I’m going in with no expectations. This whole process has been so exciting to me and it’s just so humbling to have seen people voting the way they did!”

FISHER

Ninetoes - Finder (Carl Cox remix)

Michael Bibi - Hanging Tree

Cloonee - Gospel

Mele & Shovell - Pasilida (Extended remix)

Camelphat - Drop it (Mason Maynard remix)

Wongo - Mars

Chris Lake & Green Velvet - Deceiver

Mihalis Safaras - Ity

GW Harrison – Spaceman

Solardo & Camelphat - Accelerator

"My number one pick for the Hottest 100 if Carl Cox’s remix of Finder. That fruity little number has been working around the globe for me and when it hits D floors, let me tell you, you’ll be boogie-ing all night long."

---------------------------------------

A slew of other artists shared their picks with triple j:

AMY SHARK

Brockhampton – Thug Life

Post Malone - Better Now

Didirri - Formaldehyde

Chance The Rapper - Work Out

Mallrat - Groceries

Middle Kids – Mistake

“I love Brockhampton's Thug Life so much! It somehow manages to sound so fresh but so old school at the same time. I just wish it went longer than two minutes and three seconds.”

COURTNEY BARNETT

Laura Jean - Girls On The TV

Janelle Monae - Make Me Feel

Loose Tooth - Keep On

Sampa The Great - Energy

“I love the lyrics and production on Fallingwater by Maggie Rogers. My favourite part is near the end where it breaks down. I think the song slows down in tempo, and you get this anti-build, which I love. I'll put my headphones on and listen to this non-stop. Huge fan.”
