Well, with the (bi)annual music event over for another year, I'm going back to not posting again now.

But it was fun hanging out again today, folks! Thanks! 💜

All Time Top 10. Untouchable Top 19. And the big jet plane ran out of fuel at number 20 ✨

A great end, but yeah. Taken as a collective of great songs in no particular order.... How bloody great is Australian music. Sensational. Thank the universe for artists. What a fun day #hottest100
I think the way to survive this countdown is the same way I finally hit submit on my votes: noone's gunna hold me to this and there are too many good songs and there are no right answers and art cannot be ranked but is just wonderful on its own merit... but also so help me if Big Jet Plane is top 10

Number 3 for kids, Number 2 for the ageing Millennials, and Number 1 for the Gen Xers.

Honestly? Well f*%#king done Australia.

Nosebleed Section Number 1? Surely not. Unless? #hottest100

OMG EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING THERE'S A WOMAN IN THE TOP 5 #hottest100 Hell yeah Missy!!!
July 26, 2025 at 9:35 AM
lol!!! Every time I think I've got the No.1 they play it!!

Top 5 for Don't Dream It's Over! Fantastic!

Finally seeing Crowded House a couple of metres to from the stage at Bluesfest this year was a spiritual experience I've been waiting for since I was 13 and they are the absolute best #hottest100
Oh!! Wait!! Don't Dream It's Over!! Please be Don't Dream It's Over. I would love for it to be Don't Dream It's Over 😭 #hottest100

MY HAPPINESS AT 6??!? WHAT ON EARTH IS IN THE TOP 5, LET ALONE NUMBER 1??!?? #hottest100
Okay! Flame Trees at 7!! First of all, shouldabin higher. But also...

Surely My Happiness is Number 1 now. My Happiness better bloody be Number 1 now!
Gravy at 9!! Okay. Number 1 has gotta be either My Happiness or Flame Trees. And at this point, my money is on Flame Trees.

THRILLED Gravy's in the top 10. A song that can make me feel homesick for my family, even if I'm sitting at the Christmas table with them when I hear it #hottest100

Gravy and Khe Sahn back to back! Two of the greatest Australian storytelling songs without choruses, back to back in the top 10. Outstanding 🥳 #hottest100

Kind of stunned Somebody That I Used To Know is only in at Number 10, but mostly just happy that enough time has now passed since it was flogged to death that I could let out a spontaneous 'yay!' on hearing it again 💜 #hottest100 #choon

Was really starting to think Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again was going to get squeezed out!! Yay!! 🥳 #hottest100 #NoWayetc
July 26, 2025 at 8:46 AM
Thunderstruck!! This survived all but the last cut to my shortlist. A worthy high finisher. Whatta choon #hottest100

Ladies and gentleman, if you're able, please stand for the national anthem #YoureTheVoice #hottest100
July 26, 2025 at 8:25 AM
Beds Are Burning was my Midnight Oil vote, and it should have been higher, but the overwhelming relief I feel that it's up at least this high omg #hottest100
July 26, 2025 at 7:59 AM
Every #hottest100 banger makes me thrilled to hear it and scared about what's going to win if they're not even top 10 😂
July 26, 2025 at 7:09 AM
On the flipside of the 'shouldabin higher' phenomenon, I'm very relieved that a bunch of the songs I strategically didn't vote for in the belief they'd be safe have, in fact, made the #Hottest100 countdown so far

Bless you Natalie Inbruglia's Torn and everyone who voted for her 💜

The era hopping of this Australian Songs #Hottest100 is breaking my brain. I don't hate it, but ooft it's some serious musical whiplash
July 26, 2025 at 6:45 AM
ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME.

HOW is One Crowded Hour not in the #Hottest100 top 10??? HOW?!???

I was back to being chill, but with Big Jet Plane still on the table this is a national disgrace
July 26, 2025 at 6:35 AM
This isn't the original album version of The Special Two! What version is this?? It's great but unexpected!

But more importantly, yas Missy!! Chrissy, Thelma, and Missy, a good run for the ladies finally!!
