Well, it’s all done and dusted for another year, with The Wiggles taking out the top spot in triple j’s Hottest 100 with their cover of Tame Impala’s ‘Elephant’.
It beat out a strong pack of contenders, including Spacey Jane’s ‘Lots of Nothing’, The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s ‘Stay’, and Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘good 4 u’. RÜFÜS DU SOL, Lil Nas X, The Jungle Giants, Doja Cat, and comedy songwriter Tom Cardy also snuck in the top 20. Cardy scored two entries inside the top 20 — ‘Mixed Messages’ and ‘H.Y.C.Y.BH’ — as did RÜFÜS DU SOL — with ‘Alive’ and ‘On My Knees’ — and Lil Nas X, with ‘Industry Baby’ and ‘MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)’.
There were a number of repeat offenders across the countdown: Olivia Rodrigo had a bunch of songs from her debut album SOUR in there, including ‘traitor’, ‘brutal’, ‘deja vu’, ‘drivers license’, and the aforementioned ‘good 4 u’, while Kanye also had a stack including ‘Moon’, ‘Jail’, ‘Hurricane’, and ‘Praise God’. Lorde even got a handful with ‘Solar Power’, ‘Mood Ring’, and ‘Stoned at the Nail Salon’.
Catch the full list of the Hottest 100 of 2021 below, and the Hottest 200-101 below that (that was all counted down yesterday). Tomorrow, you can tune into Double J as they throw it back to the Hottest 100 of 2001.
