Triple J’s midlife crisis

It was to celebrate the best of Australian music, but the hottest countdowns seemed to be more like a return than a new shot, IA’s music maestrou David Kowalski.

Did you catch the last triple j 100 HOT 100 Australian songs 26 July 2025? Judge print coverageMany people did. As usual, there were a lot of keyboard fighters who had concise complaints about filing the list with too many songs they never heard, and of course the classic complaint “must be higher”Regarding a graphic placement that does not match the wonder of the song in question.

What I didn’t expect was that the classic Aussie Pub rock still focused on the people of Australia, and what the countdown, the largest voting block of the countdown for the target audience of the 25s and six triple J, means for the target audience. Two Cold chisel Songs in the first tenth, in a row and the fourth single 1987 LP This has missed the first ten of Australia and has never appeared in the warmer 100 on top This is the countdown.

This song ‘Never smash us‘ with Inxs.

The top ten came to the fore Missy Higgins with ‘Wound trail‘– Powder with ‘My happiness‘ And Warren With 1986 classics ‘Don’t imagine it is over‘. This caused many comments that the countdown played more in washing Triple M Countdown in its place.

I also believed that the songs of the last 15 to 20 years that endure cultural prevalence did not make much graphics or how to draw in some cases. In fact, in the last memories, almost any Australian single’s song with the longest graphic reign ( 365 weeks during writing) ‘Riptide‘ with Vance JoyThe first five would be certainty. It was drawn here in #48.

Classical ‘somebody that I Used to Know‘ with Gotye (standing prominent Kimbra) The first place is placed on it. By the way, it is everywhere and does not end ‘Dance Monkey‘ with Tones and me There was no place to see.

For a survey that receives more than 2.6 million votes from the public, everything cannot make the list. . Next 100 songs Played during the Working Day at Digital Station Double J A week following the first broadcast. Heart fractures really start here.

For hoping to make one of the songs I voted for ‘Blackfella Whitefella‘ by Warumpi bandactually did it, but inside Position #197. Beaten by ‘Hot potato‘ with Wiggling. Go figure.

The hottest 100 unreachable discovery

A bonus direction of All-Avustralian music countdown, which was fascinating but largely reported inadequate, was the countdown. Triple J Elearned Digital Radio that 100 best uncovered discovery. This was a countdown of the best artists discovered through the program that began in 1995.

The general winner of the Countdown was, of course, Missy Higgins, the above mentioned above. Opening winners Drenched Voted at number ten. It is really surprising to look at the list and see how many artists are now such an integral part of the national music spot. It is also refreshing to see that this modest exit is a jumpboard board for these actions to begin the music industry.

The triple J, as a website and a digital radio station, continues to heavy lifting to put Australian music in front of many listeners and can continue for a long time. Maybe he needs a higher profile with his own FM frequency.

Daniel Johns’ weird movements

Silver Fans attracted their curiosity by the latest social media posts by the senior student. Daniel Johns. Recently published a encrypted message Instagram: ‘It’s happening.’

HE Then appeared In a small place with an adelaide group in the Southern Australian farm LizardsFor a sound control with them.

Kitchen To watch the show, away from the glow of bettors.

The bad -fame shy Johns eliminated rumors about the Silverchair combination at 2021 podcast. Who is Daniel Johnshe “Silverchair would not bring together 1 million dollars and a gun in my head”. I don’t think it doesn’t mean it would come together with old group friends, but many people commented that a Silverchair meeting would look a little like the last Oasis meeting in England. We will see what will happen.
