procrastinator Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hey Coldplayers... I just thought I'd inform you of a bit of an Australian tradition that Coldplay is set to be part of this year by virtue of their most recent album, Viva la Vida... The Triple J Hottest 100, for all those non-Aussies out there, is an annual "Top 100 Countdown" by Australian independent radio station Triple J. Basically, everyone votes for 10 songs they loved in 2008, and then on Australia Day (a public holiday down here) Triple J plays them all, from 100 to 1. Now that might seem fairly innocuous but it's become quite a big event down here and people now have "Hottest 100 Parties" where they listen to the countdown, have a barbeque and beer, etc etc etc. It's what I'd call an "Australian musical institution". Anyway, seeing as Coldplay released music this year, they're in with a shot with the countdown. You can vote here http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/vote.htm and have a look at the songs you can vote for here: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/downloads/hottest100list_artist.pdf You're allowed to vote for 10 songs, and you're not limited to the ones on the song list...the listed songs are merely those which Triple J has played regularly this year. The only rule is the songs have to be released in 2008. So if anyone could vote, that would be great...it's free and you're helping Coldplay! Cheers folks... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Note Sex on Fire and Use Somebody's high positions. Have the FoxFM listeners been flooding the voting? Yeuch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauiwi Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yeah, that was the main criticism of the top 100 this year. I am glad I was at the BDO enjoying the day rather than listening through this troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
