And The Winner Of The Hottest 100 Of The Decade Is…

Tame Impala have taken out the Hottest 100 of the Decade with their track ‘The Less I Know The Better’.

They beat out strong entries from Gang of Youths, Flume, and Kanye West to nab the crown.

As the station flagged prior to the broadcast, the countdown was heavy on the nostalgia. Old favourites like Robyn’s ‘Dancing On My Own’, Adrian Lux’s ‘Teenage Crime’, Flight Facilities’ ‘Crave You’, and Disclosure’s ‘Latch’ made appearances, alongside newer cuts like Mallrat’s ‘Charlie’, Cub Sport’s ‘Come On Mess Me Up’, and Fisher’s ‘Losing It’.

In somewhat surprising news, Adele’s ‘Rolling In The Deep’ made its Hottest 100 debut at #97 — and consequently pissed off a large chunk of triple j listeners.

The Hottest 200 was counted down throughout the week, featuring a number of curious entries: Tones and I’s mega hit ‘Dance Monkey’ only came in at #182, and Kanye West’s ‘Power’ just missed out on the 100 by placing at #102. It was a strange countdown, to be sure.

Check out the full Hottest 100 below.
