It's all in the stats.

Who wins this weekend's Hottest 100 Of The Decade is anyone's guess right now but one thing we do know is that Flume should feature heavily in the countdown... statistically speaking, that is. 

A deep dive into all of the countdowns since 2010 will show you that the Sydney producer has placed in the Hottest 100 more than any other artist, with 12 songs... 15 if you  count remixes and collabs.

In that time, Flume has scored one #1 track and four songs in the top ten alone. Check out the full list below:

  • Holdin On charted at #4 in 2012
  • Sleepless featuring Jezzabell Doran charted at #12 in 2012
