Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ll know by now that Melburnian master of soul, Chet Faker, took out the vaunted triple j Hottest 100 crown for 2015 with his seductive tune, Talk is Cheap. This year’s poll saw a record 2,099,077 votes cast from 188 countries, but the highest Australian contingent to date made the chart – 59 songs, way ahead of the 15 from the US. Some 35 artists made their Hottest 100 debuts, including FKA Twigs, Future Islands and Banks. If your fave tunes didn’t make it, check the #200-#101 countdown coming on triple j this Sunday, February 1, from 10am to see how they fared.
