Four, actually.Bernard Fanning's song has only 3 chords
Solid point!Hang on, so you kept listening AFTER Pretty Fly For A White Guy by the Offspring won it?
Just a fun fact.Four, actually.
And the amount of chords a song has (or doesn't have) isn't necessarily an indicator of a song's overall quality.
Usually it's quite the opposite. In most cases it seems as though a song has to be the most middle of the road, lowest common denominator type of rubbish to gain that sort of popularity.Solid point!
What a stinking piece of crap that song was. Just goes to show, just because it's popular doesn't mean it's good.
I was working on the theory that in the past, when the voting prize was bigger, trips to overseas festivals and such, that this encouraged more voting from those outside the regular JJJ listeners, resulting in winners such as The Offspring and every second Powderfinger song. In the last few years the prize has lessened and the mainstream crowd maybe doesn't care so much, so we end up with some not so predictable winners like Augie March and Muse.Just a fun fact.
I'd hardly think its the majority of people (who listen to commercial radio) who vote in the Hottest 100 anyway. They hear it on commercial radio, the JJJ listeneners hear it on JJJ. It's the JJJ listeners who are voting. (Convoluted and probably exceedingly obvious explanation, basically trying to say it's not the mainstream listeners voting.)
Sounds like a pretty solid theory- only JJJ listeners are interested in free tickets to every JJJ gig through the year.I was working on the theory that in the past, when the voting prize was bigger, trips to overseas festivals and such, that this encouraged more voting from those outside the regular JJJ listeners, resulting in winners such as The Offspring and every second Powderfinger song.

Hit the nail on the head right there Rod, bring back the old Hottest 100 when it wasn't just limited to that years pitiful offerings. I miss the days of seeing The Doors, Stone Roses, Joy Division and Grand Master Flash in the same countdown. Oh well, they were better times.I don't vote - just listen on the day and complain.
Seconded!Hit the nail on the head right there Rod, bring back the old Hottest 100 when it wasn't just limited to that years pitiful offerings. I miss the days of seeing The Doors, Stone Roses, Joy Division and Grand Master Flash in the same countdown. Oh well, they were better times.

Yeah but didn't that mean that Joy Division's epic 'love will tear us apart' won EVERY year!Hit the nail on the head right there Rod, bring back the old Hottest 100 when it wasn't just limited to that years pitiful offerings.

Where's the problem?Yeah but didn't that mean that Joy Division's epic 'love will tear us apart' won EVERY year!
Personally I'm going to shit bricks if Glasvegas' 'Geraldine' doesn't get it but I just know it'll probably be MGMT or the Kings of Lame.
wankers.
Unfortunately..And I'm pretty certain the top two will be Electric Feel and Sex on Fire..
I just think your sex could use somebody on fire.If KOL get the #1, I'm going to stab some people.
