To explain how epic the hottest 100 countdown (and triple j) is, here are a few sentences I ripped off wikipedia. xd
The poll attracts over half a million votes every year (over 1.1 million in 2009). Triple J claims that it is the world's largest music poll.
Triple J routinely championed many local and overseas acts whose early recordings were ignored by commercial radio—e.g. Midnight Oil, Models, Paul Kelly, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Pixies, Ben Folds Five and hundreds more.
The support of the Jays had a similarly significant effect on the worldwide success of many acts, including Blondie, Devo and more recently Ben Folds Five, Garbage and especially Ben Harper, whose popularity in Australia—which was almost entirely the result of support from triple j —was instrumental in breaking him back in his home country, the United States.

Hmm, interesting. Radio plays the same stuff over and over and over again. It's interesting when people get a chance to break out.

Lea Fealith Hmm, interesting. Radio plays the same stuff over and over and over again. It's interesting when people get a chance to break out. Honestly, triple j isn't like that. 3nodding
