‘Say Nothing’ was also Flume’s third appearance in this year’s countdown, having come in at number 50 with ‘Slugger 1.4′ and number 30 with his and Toro y Moi’s cover of Bag Raiders’ ‘Shooting Stars’ for triple j’s ‘Like A Version’.
Spacey Jane took up three spots in the top 10: ‘Hardlight’ at number 3 and back-to-back entries ‘It’s Been a Long Day’ and ‘Sitting Up’ at number 6 and 7 respectively. All tracks came from their sophomore album ‘Here Comes Everybody’.
Also securing spots in the top 10 were Steve Lacy (‘Bad Habit’) Lizzo (‘About Damn Time’), Ball Park Music (‘Stars In My Eyes’), Gang of Youths (‘in the wake of your leave’) and Joji (‘Glimpse of Us’). Find the full list of songs that appeared in the triple j Hottest 100 of 2022 here.
