Back on Day 16, I voted for my top 10, and only 5 of my 10 songs appeared in the top 100, at numbers 97, 81, 56, 16 and 2. There were over 1.3 million votes this year.
Songs I liked in the Top 20:
20 Bluejuice - Act Your Age
17 Seeker Lover Keeper - Even Though I'm a Woman (BRILLIANT song, please listen to it, it is just gorgeous) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qeLI_6t6ds&ob=av2n
16 Grouplove - Tongue Tied
15 Foster The People - Helena Beat
11 Calvin Harris - Feel So Close
9 The Jezabels - Endless Summer
7 San Cisco - Awkward
3 Matt Corby - Brother (isn't he the little guy from Australian Idol a few years ago? Good tune anyway)
2 The Black Keys - Lonely Boy (yahoo!! my fave)
9 songs I really liked out of the top 20 - I'm still hanging in there hmm?
Number 1 was a totally expected and dull (in my opinion, but not nearly as bad as last year's Angus & Julia Stone snoozefest) Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know. I liked it for a while, but as usual, mainstream radio got a hold of it and overplayed it big time, so now I am a bit over it. Good on the Aussie though, to get to Number 1. And his real name is Wally, a true blue Aussie name if ever there was one. Good for him.
My big discovery was the Seeker Lover Keeper song. It is wonderful - Sarah Blasko is one of the 3 girls in this band, and I always love listening to her voice, whatever she sings.
Boy & Bear and The Wombats had 3 & 4 songs respectively in the Hottest 100. I have never warmed to Boy & Bear, I think they are fairly d-ull, although they had a song in the top 10 which had a bit of beat to it! The Wombats are okay, and obviously "the kids" love them.
Well that's it for another year, and that's my day over!
