triple j’s Hottest 200 of 2020 took place yesterday, counting down the 100 songs that just missed out on Saturday’s Hottest 100 countdown.
While Glass Animals took out the top spot on the Hottest 100 with ‘Heat Waves’, it was Sydney band Middle Kids who got #101 with their track ‘R U 4 Me?’.
Celebrating their topping of one countdown but their omission from another, the band took to social media to write: “captain of the b team baby”.
Other acts that failed to crack the 100 but made yesterday’s (January 24) countdown include Disclosure‘s ‘My High’ featuring Slowthai and Amine, Tkay Maidza‘s ‘Shook’, Phoebe Bridgers‘ ‘Kyoto’, King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard‘s ‘Honey’ and more.
Some lucky acts managed to crack both countdowns, such as Ruel, Ball Park Music, Megan Thee Stallion, Tame Impala and even Hottest 100 winners Glass Animals.
