THE J’s HOT 100 in 22
Flume was already a certified Hottest 100 favourite. But for the second time in his career, the Australian producer has topped triple j’s annual music poll – this time for his track ‘Say Nothing’ featuring MAY-A. Not bad for a guy who got his start using software from a cereal box (but more on that later).
Flume – or Harley Streten as the internationally renowned Sydneysider’s passport reads – has long seem liked the most likely to pull off this rare feat. He’s a heavyweight contender in any year he releases music.
Not only has the electronic auteur now charted an impressive 17 total tracks in the Hottest 100 since his 2012 debut (21 if you include his remixes of Eiffel 65, Lorde, Disclosure and Hermitude) but he’s the only act in the countdown’s history to rank a song in every position of the Top 5.
Flume’s Hottest 100 high points
2016 : #1 “Never be like You”
2019 : #2 “Rushing Back” ft Vera Blue
2020 : #3 “The Difference” ft Toro y Moi
2012 : #4 “Holdin On”
2013 : #5 “Chet Faker collab “Drop the Game”
Flume also charted at #8 in 2016 with ’Say It’ ft. Tove Lo. (So, he’s still got #6, #7, #9, #10 on his bingo card. )
Most significantly, Flume is the second ever artist to top triple j’s annual Hottest 100 twice, and more than two decades since Powderfinger did it back-to-back in 1999 and 2000.
Whereas Powderfinger had momentum on their side, there’s six years dividing Flume’s occupation at the top Hottest 100 spot. It’s an arguably more impressive feat, especially in a country where tall poppy syndrome thrives.
It’s more difficult than ever for artists to sustain mass appeal over the course of a decade, yet ever since emerging on the scene in 2011, Flume has maintained the kind of profile most musicians only dream of.
As we wrote when the track got its first play anywhere – on triple j Breakfast back in February – ‘Say Nothing is “a futuristic banger with an emotive vocal performance [in] the same megahit lineage” of Flume’s most popular work and all the ingredients of an instant classic.
Accompanied by the mind-bending visuals of the J Award nominated music video — a fever dream of mutating faces, tropical birds, and mysterious motorbike-clad figures — ‘Say Nothing’ has Flume’s sonic signature sound.
