Today, voting officially opened for the Triple J Hottest 100 2016, and to help you decide which of the countless songs released this year deserve your vote, Triple J reached out to a handful of Aussie artists to find out their top ten picks of the year.
Flume, A.B. Original, Violent Soho, Tkay Maidza, Illy, Remi, Alison Wonderland and The Rubens all shot through their picks for the year, and we’ll just pretend it isn’t awkward when one of them picks another, but that love isn’t reciprocated.
Here’s the full list of picks for this year, some surprising, and some… less so. Check out the list below, and even more even more artists here, and hopefully it’ll spark a few ideas for your own list – voting is open now.
