Here in Australia it's our national day of celebration, however for a few of us we celebrate the Triple J Hottest 100 instead.
I admit I am via bias to Triple J having been a fan most of my life and also having worked for the ABC for many years. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about Triple J is the youth radio station of the countries big broadcaster ABC - Australian Broadcasting Corporation - or the aussie version of the BBC or ABC (usa). From memory its been going for about 20 years where the nation votes the best songs released for the previous year. Hence the countdown being held today will be voting on the best songs released in 2010. From what I last heard the poll attracts over a million votes via web and SMS voting. So in honor of this great day I'm heading to a BBQ to hear the coundown with friends.
Happy Triple J day.
