Hottest 100 season is in full effect and, while everyone’s doing their best to get their shortlist down to just 10 songs, the legends over at 100 Warm Tunas have begun work on predicting who’ll take the whole thing out. As it stands, they think that honour will go to Perth’s Spacey Jane.
For those who are new to how the website works, it collates votes from across social media using various hashtags, and tallies them by amount of votes. Then, an aggregation of the top 100 songs with the most votes at any given time is spat out and we’re given a rough prediction of what the countdown will look like.
It’s incredibly early days, and the tally is updated a few times a day, but at the time of writing, Spacey Jane are tipped to be the ones walking away with the crown with their single ‘Booster Seat’.
Trailing behind them are Glass Animals with ‘Heat Waves’, Ball Park Music with ‘Cherub’, Tame Impala with ‘Lost In Yesterday’ and Flume with ‘The Difference’ alongside Toro y moi.
The entire top 20 has some surprising appearances, with particular attention to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘WAP’ poised for a #16 entry. This is surprising considering that the all-conquering song, according to @triplejplays’ Twitter account, was only played twice on the station throughout the year.
