The Triple J Hottest 100 is over for another year and Vance Joy ‘Riptide’ is number one.
The Triple J Hottest 100 celebrated 21 years this year counting down the most popular song of the previous year as determined by Triple J listeners.
173,658 music fans cast 1,492,619 votes to compile the 21st Triple J Hottest 100.
Triple J Music Director Richard Kingsmill sang the praises of Vance Joy’s ‘Riptide’. “Vance Joy’s ‘Riptide’ is a first for the Hottest 100 in a couple of respects. We’ve never had a winning song from an artist who is so new that they’ve not even had an album to their name yet. It’s also the first #1 to have been written on a ukulele. After its first airing in March, the simple charm and endearing vulnerability of ‘Riptide’ stayed with listeners throughout the rest of 2013. But even as it did, it was still in the shadows of the world conquering ‘Royals’ and ‘Get Lucky’. Few picked it to trump either of those. But it has, and deservingly so, become our 11th Australian #1. Now we wait excitedly for that album to arrive!”
