For the first time in 11 years a British artist takes the No. 1 spot on Australia’s most coveted annual music poll.
Like most of the world, Australia’s multi-billion dollar music industry came to a quick and sudden halt as the Covid-19 pandemic took hold. Lockdowns were implemented and festivals, events and gigs were subsequently cancelled. Thankfully, bands and artists kept morale high with new music and various releases throughout 2020 and now in 2021.
This year’s Hottest 100 feels a little different with that in mind, we can’t go out and celebrate, nor can the artists. It feels a little lackluster but the music that was released throughout 2020 was still incredibly exciting. The hottest 100 list celebrates the wide diversity and talent across the globe, as well as home grown talent in Australia itself. The pandemic has been rough but even amidst all the madness music has kept us sane, better yet hopeful. The hottest 100 summarizes what Australia had on repeat to keep them going.
