The Best Memes And Reactions To This Year’s Hottest 100

Well, the Hottest 100 is over for another year, with Billie Eilish’s ‘bad guy’ taking out the top spot. It marks first time a solo female artist has topped the countdown.

This year was the biggest countdown ever — with a staggering 3,211,596 votes counted, a 16.4 percent increase on last year. Sixty-five songs were from Australian artists, just one notch below the record which was set in 2016.

Seventeen artists made their debut this year, and nine artists completed a hat trick — having appeared in the countdown three years running, which is pretty neat.

But the real winners of the day of course, are the meme-makers and internet chucklers — who come out in force to deliver us some triple j-themed comedy gold. So without further fucking around, please enjoy some of our favourite memes and reactions to this year’s poll.

The year is 2030, every song on the #Hottest100 is a like a version version of a like a version from a decade ago. Blue Ivy Carter’s version of Milky Chance’s version of Tones & I’s ‘Dance Monkey’ should’ve been higher.

Peppa pig released one of the most forward thinking pop records last year and I hope that is reflected in the #Hottest100 x

best bit of the #Hottest100 so far is how, now that she’s off-air and doesn’t know what songs are coming next, @lcysmth is sitting in the office shouting “aw yes good one!” every time a new song gets announced. Woman Of The People.
