Hottest 100s and 1000s

Hottest 100s and 1000s

Since 1993, the Hottest 100 has been the largest annual music poll in the world. Countless acts have graced the chart, from Dido to Depeche Mode. We're going to talk about all of them. Hottest 100s and 1000s is a Sydney-based podcast hosted by longtime friends Adam Buncher, Andrew McDonald, David James Young and Nathan Harrison. They look back at every Hottest 100; and every song that has been deemed hot enough to be a part of it over the course of 20+ years.

It's all in the family on this week's episode of Hottest 100s and 1000s. We are exiting the swinging 60s in style with a brand-new mixed bag of faux-siblings, method actors, puppets, animated bands, weirdly-specific gunpoint threats and large hats.

You'd have thought we'd have had enough of staying at home by now, but honestly, what's out there? Awkward discos? Festivals that are either too hot and/or too cold? Towns? Nah, too crazy.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was a jaguar in that opening bit of 2001: a space odyssey, right? He messes up one of the dudes in the ape suit, which i always wondered about because there were definitely no special effects used. Some dude in an ape suit straight up got attacked by a big cat. Maybe several. There would have to have been multiple takes... I mean, incredible movie, but Kubrick was a bit of a jerk, surely... Oh, righ...

Yeah let's talk metrics. Like can you really measure pop success in sales? Canadian success in ice hockey sponsorships? How do you know if a song is emo? How much cruelty is enough?

ENTER STAGE LEFT: four brave and handsome podcasters. Ones arse is clearly showing. Nevertheless, they stand centre stage, arms aloft dramatically and begin to recite the classic theatre text "Hottest 100s and 1000s' thoughts on the first five songs of the 2000 countdown's top 20."
