Red Hot Summer Has Had A Massive Impact on The Triple J Hottest 100 of Australian Songs

The Red Hot Summer tours over recent years has had an incredible impact on moulding the artists featured in Triple J’s Hottest 100 Australian songs.

Congratulations to Duane McDonald who has done an incredible job of curating Australian artists on the Red Hot Summer program.

Artists who have played Red Hot Summer in today’s Triple J Hottest 100 Australian Songs include The Screaming Jets, Icehouse, Angus & Julia Stone, Killing Heidi, The Veronicas, The Church, Eskimo Joe, Killing Heidi, The Church, Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger), John Farnham, Crowded House, Jon Stevens (doing INXS), Missy Higgins, Hunters & Collectors, Ross Wilson (Daddy Cool), James Reyne (Australian Crawl), Wolfmother, The Living End, The Church, Daryl Braithwaite, Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel, Paul Kelly, The Angels and Jet.

Triple J programmers have missed the point. 2.6 million votes shows whoever is programming Triple J (I seriously have no idea), has no idea what the audience is thinking. Triple J’s Hottest 100 Australian Songs is a massive win for Australian music and an incredible failure for Australia’s Triple J no name programmer.

Given that the most votes from from 18-29 year olds, Triple J really is out of touch with public tastes, and that also is showcased in the radio ratings.
