4ZZZ’s Hot 100 2018 Results

Each year, on New Years Day, Brisbane community radio station and Australian staple in independent music, 4ZZZ, counts down the best 100 songs of the year that’s been. For their 2018 edition, the station, yet again, championed homegrown, local talent as well some of the world’s greatest.

The countdown comes with somewhat of an upset as three-time #1 winners Flangipanis were beat by WAAX with their corker of a track, Labrador. Flangipanis, however, are humble in defeat earning the coveted #2 spot with Fuck You & Your Stupid Party.

RELATED: See last year’s 4ZZZ Hot 100 results HERE.

The top 10 is still filled with some greats and more repeats from last year including DZ Deathrays and Port Royal, as well as Amyl & The Sniffers, Dicklord, Arctic Monkeys and more. Other local and national talent sweeping the remaining 100 spots include Vesper Green, Hatchie, Being Jane Lane, Tropical Fuck Storm, KB Theory, Tape/Off, Glitoris, First Beige, Eyethewild, Methyl Ethel and literally so many more.

As always, both 4ZZZ and the community in which its built on should be applauded for their efforts in 208. Thank you for continuing to deliver a quality, independent service and going against the grain.
