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! 💜

Yeah, I'm honestly surprised, and it's a real shame. I love it though!!

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

Or, process of elimination!!! 😂

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

Honestly? Well f*%#king done Australia.

#hottest100

NEVER TEAR US APART THIS FREAKIN ROCKS I LOVE MUSIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCC #hottest100

Okay, one last guess. Never Tear Us Apart then, right? Which... Honestly? Fair. #hottest100

NOSEBLEED SECTION NUMBER 2!! NOUGHTIES SUPREMACY! MILLENNIALS BEEN VOTING!! WELL DONE EVERYBODY!! 🥳 #hottest100

Really though, I would LOVE THAT

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

🥳

Bwaaahaha Untouched actually made it to Number 3. Incredible result for Noughties cultural supremacy #hottest100

This high though? I'll be shocked. Shocked she didn't make the countdown at all, but would be very surprised if she's this high

My shortlist was 62 songs long 🫠

It has. I think we're tapped out of Crowded House entries now

OMG EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING THERE'S A WOMAN IN THE TOP 5 #hottest100 Hell yeah Missy!!!

Hey now, hey now, they were formed in Melbourne and the criteria were, "a band that's at least 50% Australian" and 2 of 4 Crowded House are Australian. Was that criteria almost certainly written to make Crowded House eligible? Sure. But still. I think we can legitimately share Crowded House :)

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

Ooh!! Is Friday On My Mind going to get in there after all??!? Too much to hope?? #hottest100

Ooh. An interesting point, that is interesting it hasn't come up!

oh lord, it better bloody not be

omg it's gunna be troye sivan and rush isn't it

MY HAPPINESS AT 6??!? WHAT ON EARTH IS IN THE TOP 5, LET ALONE NUMBER 1??!?? #hottest100

Also, fun Flame Trees fact... We can play it complete with "who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway" intact on ABC local radio. Hence, the unofficial Flame Trees Rule, that an unemphasised 'shit' is allowed

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!

You and, I suspect, half the country! And... There it is!!

Nahh, I reckon it's a fakeout. There is no way Flame Trees doesn't make the countdown. There just cannot be any way

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

I will take it! I'm treating this whole thing as a 'great songs in no particular order' collection
