Hottest 100
Well, after a shocker last year I did better in my guessing this time in the little comp with Mat and Toasty. We get to pick 5 songs that we think will make the top ten. My predictions (in no particular order), and where they rated were ...
(2) Silverchair - Straight Lines
(9) Soko - I'll Kill Her
(27) Operator Please - Just A Song About Ping Pong
(1) Muse - Knights of Cydonia
(39) Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire
I would've bet anything that Silverchair would end up number 1. They were close with just 13 votes out of the 700,000 odd recieved separating them from Muse. I also thought Operator Please would rate much higher. Cut Copy was my 'dark horse', I was way off!
Anyway, I ended up with 3. Mat also scored 3 but I picked the number 1 so that put me in front :-) Toasty scored 2.
So, they were my predictions but these were my ten official votes ...
Bonde Do Role - Solta O Frango
Camera Obscura - If Looks Could Kill
(21) Chemical Brothers - The Salmon Dance
(59) Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
Jamie T - Sheila
Jens Lekman - The Opposite Of Hallelujah
Kenneth Bager (Feat. Julee Cruise) - Les Fleurs
Mark Ronson (Feat. Amy Winehouse) - Valerie
Matt Costa - Mr. Pitiful
(9) Soko - I'll Kill Her
Good to see a few of them made the top 100.
Anyone else out there vote?

I voted for Fergie (Clumsy) - how did that go?
Darren Hanlon is lovely *swoon*. Very nice guy.
i never vote. i'm not a citizen yet. i'm sure triple j won't let me.
I didn't vote, but I put down Silverchair's straight line to finish 1. I thought Knights of Cydonia was last year so I would have definitely put that down as my vote though!
The last time I voted was in 1997
and only got a few in the top hundred. Top ten is just too hard!
here's the list if you want to reminisce.

I didn't vote either. Hope I don't get fined or be forced to listen to MixFM.
I didn't vote either - but that's because I can never remember the names of songs, but rather recognise them from the first few bars!
Didn't vote either. I'm still lost the 70's and 80's, got no idea of what the new songs are. I know what I don't like.
didnt vote in the hottest 100.
saving my voting energy for the CR awards :)
Yep, if you read my blog you will know I voted and got a couple in the top 10 after using the formula of supporting the CDs that I had bought in 2007.
I wanted and would have placed a lot of $$$ on Straight Lines!
Go the Chair!
A song about ping pong for me , it gets me movin ! ha
