Here’s Who ‘100 Warm Tunas’ Is Predicting Will Take Out The Hottest 100 Of The Decade

As music fans across the country continue to rattle their brains to think of the perfect 10 songs to vote for in Triple J’s Hottest 100 of the 2010s, Nick Whyte’s Hottest 100 prediction site ‘100 Warm Tunas‘ already has an idea of who might take out the top spot – and it’s an act who has never won before.

At the mighty, creme-de-la-creme top spot is Violent Soho‘s monstrous 2013 hit ‘Covered In Chrome’. This is especially interesting because, as we reported last week, the band released a pretty convincing campaign in an effort to get your vote – looks like its working.

In fact, none of the current top four are by acts that have won the countdown. Arctic Monkeys’ 2013 banger ‘Do I Wanna Know?’ is currently in second, Tame Impala’s 2015 hit ‘The Less I Know The Better’ is in third and Gang Of Youths’ ‘Magnolia’ is in fourth. In fifth place, however, is Gotye and Kimbra’s all-conquering 2011 collab ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ which did win the 2011 Hottest 100.

Voting for the Hottest 100 of the 2010s is open now, and will remain open until Monday, 9th March. Then, on Saturday, 14th March, the countdown will take place and we’ll see if Violent Soho will be “hell fuck yeah!”ing all the way to the top spot.
