Rumours had been spreading over the weekend leading up to the annual Triple J Hottest 100 Countdown, suggesting that the ‘leak’ of Mumford & Sons’ Little Lion Man as being the winner on the ABC Shop website five days before the countdown – was an elaborate marketing ploy. Alas no – it was just a garden variety stuff up – which probably means that someone at the ABC or Triple J will be signing on the dole this week.

So no surprises at the top of the list, and the execrable Art Vs Science showed the voting public haven’t improved their taste with their high school French quoting novelty hit Parlez Vous Français? going in at number two.

Interestingly, there was very little crossover between the ARIA charts and the Hottest 100, with Little Lion Man only charting at #87 on the 2009 ARIA charts and six of the Hottest 100 acts being unsigned. This was the year that disposable electro infused pop music seemed to compete with skip hop as the genre of choice  around the country, but let’s be frank  – anything is better than having Hilltop Hoods at Number 3.
