Hottest 100s and 1000s

Hottest 100s and 1000somny.fm
Since 1993, the Hottest 100 has been the largest annual music poll in the world. Countless acts have graced the chart, from Dido to Depeche Mode. We're going to talk about all of them. Hottest 100s and 1000s is a Sydney-based podcast hosted by longtime friends Adam Buncher, Andrew McDonald, David James Young and Nathan Harrison. They look back at every Hottest 100; and every song that has been deemed hot enough to be a part of it over the course of 20+ years.

On February 8, 2019, at the Canberra Theatre Centre, this goal was finally fulfilled. In front of an enthralled live audience, your brave lads bore the burden of picking apart the hottest five songs of 1999: their merits, their faults and how they managed or failed to predict the nightmare that was the Y2K disas...

REMIX '99 - Something Chill, Something Horny, Something Sad, Something Silly

It's the week before the big day. We've got our dress sorted, the venue planned and the priest booked in.

Plus we take some negative singing lessons, slack off from work, refuse to do our taxes, go through some of your takes (thanks!) and...

Unlike the Soviet Union to the people of Pripyat in 1986, we're not going to lie to you: this episode is a lot. Celebrity bits, chimp attacks, teen tragedy, some intense discourse, some good praxis and, above all, a very interesting start to the top ten of the triple j hottest 100 of 1999. It's a lot, and maybe it's not all good- but it's nothing compared to that one fateful April night in Soviet Ukraine. Oh, and Mark Sieberling loves it. SONGS COVERED: 10.
