Triple J Hottest 100 (And 200) 2017 Results

Kendrick Lamar has taken the coveted spot as the winner of triple j’s Hottest 100 countdown for 2017—and he’s far from being HUMBLE. He becomes the first person of colour to win the countdown and trumped Gang of Youths, Angus & Julia Stone and Methyl Ethel in his path.

While Kung Fu Kenny also ranked in three other tracks in the 100—DNA, LOVE and LOYALTY—some other big hitters was Gang of Youths tied with four placements, Lorde with three and The Jungle Giants also with three. Some other impressive stats from the yearly event include 65 of the 100 songs were Australian—one less than last year’s record breaking 66—26 acts made their Hottest 100 debuts and 5 songs were uploaded and discovered from triple j Unearthed.

The day after, triple j then counted down the songs that just missed out—the Hottest 200. Pretty much the remainder of Gang of Youths’ and Lorde’s album made the cut along with the majority of heavy acts which made a considerable miss in the main 100. Acts like Trophy Eyes, Tired Lion, Polaris and Tonite Alive just missed the bigger accolades.

See the full list below and make your own judgements.
