... It's amazing that Triple J and/or The Hottest 100 has any cultural relevance in the year 2026.

What’s the point of Triple J’s Hottest 100?

This week #TripleJ have been dribbling out the next 100 of their #Hottest100 poll, and I've placed another vote, at 147. Given #Flume 's dominance of this poll in the past I'm a little surprised this was so low, but I like this weird little ballad with #EmmaLouise . https://youtu.be/758p-cCYI2E
