The TikTok-ification of the Hottest 100 is complete.
52% of the
artists were Aussiesongs had Aussie artists… Including 3 out of the top 5.Gotta say congrats’ to G Flip, seven songs in the 100. Well done!
My kids know who G Flip is from TikTok.
Look I know I’m too old and not the TripleJ target audience, I fit the DoubleJ demographic. If this is a true reflection of what’s making waves with TripleJ listeners, that’s great. I would just question why?
Listen friend, I just turned 42 (if that counts). There were very few, what I would call, ‘bangers’ in the 100. The point I was trying to make was; there were more Aussies than internationals, and I don’t think a Chinese app influenced it all that much.
It’s more the format of tiktok favours a certain type of song. And because tiktok is how many young folk discover and connect with new music, we saw many of those type of songs charting.
Sorry, it’s not my jam.
Can’t blame you.
