triple j have shared the results of their 2019 album poll

triple j are in the midst of wrapping up another huge year of music, sharing the results of their 2019 album poll over the weekend.

For decades now, triple j have closed out the massive year that was by asking their listeners to vote in a poll that determines their favourite album of the year.

While Radiohead topped the list back in 1997, the ensuing years have been an exciting indicator of what folks have loved, with the likes of Silverchair, Something For Kate, and Arcade Fire have taken out the top spot, while acts like Tame Impala and Gotye have pulled it off on multiple occasions.

Now though, following news that voting for the Hottest 100 opens today, triple j shared the results of their 2019 album poll overnight, with the top spots likely a predictable concept for most listeners.

While the top ten features great Aussie acts like Angie McMahon, Stella Donnelly, the Hilltop Hoods, G Flip, Holy Holy, and Thelma Plum, a few international acts also make the cut, including Tyler, The Creator, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Lana Del Rey, and Billie Eilish, who takes top honours with WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?

Not enough for you? The station also shared the results of the top 20, and the top ten albums from Richard Kingsmill as well.

With the top 20 showing that artists like BROCKHAMPTON, Flume, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Foals, and WAAX just missed out, Kingsmill’s list largely agrees with the original top ten, save for the addition of names like Sampa The Great and PUP.

Check out all the details of this year’s list below.
