Triple J Hottest 100 - 2020

[Bigjobss]

That Dance Monkey song is a testament to how bad music has gotten. Absolute trash tier rubbish being churned out and somehow people/sheep like it...

Didn't that Macklehore abomination Thrift Shop win a few years ago?

jfc that was 2012! - god I am old.

To be honest it was no Amazing by Alex Lloyd

7 years ago...I am not depressed I am just deep in thought about wasting my life

Thrift Shop > Dance Monkey. Both bad but one is way worse

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Pretty Fly for a White Guy also won.

Anyway

Take your music discussion to the Music forum.

This is about betting on the Hottest 100, which by the looks of it, won’t be anywhere near as profitable as last year.

Was lucky enough to get on Billie and tones early.. but there's no value atm unless you want to back bad guy which looks like a 2nd place to me... But @5.60 it isn't the worst. Hopefully top 10 opens up on a few platforms with some better value.

or the year before

There were F all markets last year. I might’ve made like $200.

What's up with the Sportsbet market? PNAU as 2nd favourite seems bizarre. $5.65 for Billie Eilish is an odd price too.

not sure but its worth a $20 on Billie.

Ill probably end up dutching/hutching the top 2 once I am confident who it will be. quietly confident already tho

awesome. agree bulls on parade right up there.

 

[FallingLiefs]

What's the highest recent finish for a LAV? DMA's?? Bulls on Parade would have to be best chance for some time.

 

[Liljam]

Hopefully tab open up a bunch of markets this round because they usually let you get a bit deeper. Anyone got ideas on better ways to predict the outcome? All I can think is using the vote counter and resorting it with a list of previous notes about what goes better or worse on social media counts vs actual votes. Always going to be impossible to be certain but might reveal some value

 

[burge13]

So a cover that sounded near enough identical to the original is a top 3 chance? Just LOL at that

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Yep. Sounds identical. The original shits all over it. Must be Gen Z’s thinking it’s a new song.

 

[iluvparis]

Wait - #3 is a cover of the RATM song?

fk me I'm old

 

[burge13]

Yep. Sounds identical. The original shits all over it. Must be Gen Z’s thinking it’s a new song.

What a joke this countdown is.

 

[anabac]

It'll go in my votes and i ain't Gen Z, and i'm a huge RATM fan. No point having a cry over the fact it's a cover, who cares? it sounds good!

FWIW i reckon the top 3 stated above are pretty much set in stone. The rest are a bit of a raffle, except i think Ocean Alley and PNAU will both be higher.

 

[burge13]

If someone does a cover of smells like teen spirit next year itll blow JJJ listeners socks off

 

[NonPhixion]

Things like this make me realise how ****ing trash the music of my generation is. Kurt Cobain would be turning in his grave

 

[anabac]

And there's no doubt when Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden came on the scene late 80's early 90's that there was people lamenting the fact that the good old days of The Beatles and the Stones etc are over.... they just didn't have internet forums where they could whinge about these things.

 

[iluvparis]

To be fair - it has been all downhill since the Beatles - so they would have been right.

 

[Gibbsy]

Id be happy to lay that cover to the point of it not even finishing top 5. The hype is over.
