Another week has passed, and triple j have spent it doing what they do best – delivering endless hit tunes by a wide variety of brilliant artists from both here and abroad.
Of course, with so many songs being played in a week, it can get pretty tough to know the artists that have been the most popular.
Well, thanks to our friends over at J Play, you don’t have to worry about not knowing who the most popular artists on triple j are each week any more.
triple j’s most-played artists for the week
20. Angie McMahon
Characterised by her powerful vocals and exceedingly impressive songwriting skills, Angie McMahon has been winning over fans for a while now. With tracks such as ‘Missing Me’ and ‘Slow Mover’ having seen constant airplay, it won’t be long before the whole world is catching onto McMahon’s brilliance.
19. Hockey Dad
After having an absolutely stunning beginning to the year, Windang’s Hockey Dad keep on proving why they’re one of the most in-demand groups in the country. With their second album, Blend Inn, still serving up the tasty tunes, ‘Sweet Release’ is currently this week’s eighth most-played track on the airwaves.
18. Jack River
After plenty of time giving us some sweet tunes, Jack River recently released her debut album, Sugar Mountain, and fans have loved it. While tracks like ‘Ballroom’ and ‘Limo Song’ have been doing the rounds in recent months, this collection of tracks is set to ensure that Jack River becomes one of this year’s most beloved acts
17. The Kooks
The Kooks are getting ready to unleash their new album, Let’s Go Sunshine, at the end of August. With a couple of tracks, ‘No Pressure’ and ‘All The Time’, already out there, there’s no doubt that the group’s fifth album will see them continuing to deliver brilliant tracks like there’s no tomorrow.
16. Chance The Rapper
It’s pretty amazing to think that Chance The Rapper has been on the scene for six years now, has charted in the Hottest 100, and teamed up with huge named like Childish Gambino, all before the release of his debut album. While Chance dropped a handful of new singles a couple of weeks back, it’s hardly any surprise we’ve been hearing plenty of him on the airwaves this week.

Courtney Barnett recently made her full-blown return to the charts with her second album, Tell Me How You Really Feel, and listeners have been lapping up every single song from the record. While none of her tracks are in this week’s most-played list, her upcoming Aussie tour might just change that somewhat.
11. Childish Gambino
Old mate Gambino recently dropped some fresh new summer tunes for his fans to jive to. Despite the fact that summer is still quite a few months away for us here in the southern hemisphere, triple j listeners have been loving ‘Summertime Magic’ enough to see it sneak into the fifth position on this week’s most-played list.
10. Amy Shark
After plenty of excitement and a slew of stunning singles, Amy Shark recently released her debut album, Love Monster, to plenty of critical acclaim.

Needless to say, you can expect to be hearing more of these loveable Englishmen in the coming months.

7. BROCKHAMPTON

Having already released a couple of year-themed tracks, including ‘1999 Wildfire’ and ‘1998 Truman’, fans have been digging these new ones enough to see the former score the honour of being named this week’s sixth most-played track.
6. Hilltop Hoods
Hilltop Hoods recently returned with their stunning new single ‘Clark Griswold’, and it’s turned out to be an absolute banger. Featuring Adrian Eagle on vocals, this celebration of South Aussie talent has resonated with listeners enough to see it score the honour of being this week’s second most-played track. There’s a pretty strong chance this one could crack the Hottest 100 this year, but will it be enough to get the Hilltop Hoods past that #3 spot at long last?
