It’s been a long day, but the Hottest 100 is over for yet another year! Here are the Top 10 entries who stole the airwaves.

Tunes galore:

10. DISCLOSURE – MAGNETS FT. LORDE

‘Magnets’ marked one of Disclosure’s biggest collaborations from their sophomore album Settle, recruiting Lorde for a sultry pop jam and a typically irresistible hook from the UK house duo. Having just visited Australia over the new year, we already can’t wait for them to come back.

9. THE WEEKND – CAN’T FEEL MY FACE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEI4qSrkPAs

This is the most commercial route that The Weeknd has ever taken – a powerfully groovy diversion from his ominous, hyper-sexual brand of R&B. A slick execution from production master Max Martin means that this won’t be leaving club dancefloors for the foreseeable future.

8. HERMITUDE – THE BUZZ FT. MATAYA & YOUNG TAPZ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTSJcpB9B0Y

‘The Buzz’ became one of last year’s most favoured festival anthems – a powerful display of the Elefant Traks act’s ability to craft catchy electronica with a hearty, hip-hop flavoured bounce. Their album Dark Night Sweet Light is best played loud – and sounds even better in their admirable live show.

7. JARRYD JAMES – DO YOU REMEMBER

Brisbane singer Jarryd James certainly made an impact with his debut single ‘Do You Remember’ – a slow-burner which reached Number. 2 on the ARIA charts, while it also won him an ARIA Award for ‘Best Pop Release’ at the ARIA Awards.

6. CHET FAKER & MARCUS MARR – THE TROUBLE WITH US

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAd–mEjcco

A fresh track from Melbourne crooner Chet Faker & UK disco don Marcus Marr, ‘The Trouble With Us’ is an upbeat number that spearheaded a collaborative EP between the two parties. A pleasant surprise from Chet Faker which sees him take his longstanding dance influences to funkier territory.

5. TAME IMPALA – LET IT HAPPEN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFptt7Cargc

Perth crew Tame Impala have long been one of the country’s most critically-acclaimed outfits – and ‘Let It Happen’ displayed all their dreamy pop sensibilities in nonchalant fashion. Their album Currents ranked as one of 2015’s best, culminating in a national tour that included a stunning effort at the Sydney Opera House forecourt.

4. TAME IMPALA – THE LESS I KNOW THE BETTER

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBzrzS1Ag_g

Two strong Top Five showings from Tame Impala confirm their place as contemporary Australian rock heroes.

3. MAJOR LAZER & DJ SNAKE – LEAN ON FT. MO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqeW9_5kURI

An undeniable summer jam with zesty Caribbean influence, ‘Lean On’ became Spotify’s most streamed song of all time in 2015, and is also omnipresent at clubs across Australia – sometimes with Ty Dolla Sign’s hazy remix. The super-group toured Australia this year as part of Stereosonic, and were live as ever.

2. KENDRICK LAMAR – KING KUNTA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRK7PVJFbS8

Compton emcee Kendrick Lamar earned worldwide praise for his adventurous album To Pimp A Butterfly, and he’ll be supporting the album with another Australian tour in March – and we can’t wait to hear ‘King Kunta’ in all of its live glory.
