Surprises and upsets as Triple J reveals Hottest 100 of Aussie songs
Australian music broadcaster Triple J yesterday revealed the results of their huge listener poll to name the 100 best Australian songs of all time – and there were a few upsets. Rock legends INXS took out the top spot with their classic ballad Never Tear Us Apart, but there were some more divisive choices elsewhere in the top 10. Coming in at second place was the Hilltop Hoods' 2003 single Nosebleed Section, a track that's now 10 x platinum here in Australia despite never actually charting in the ARIA top 50. Some in the comments section as the results were revealed on Triple J's Instagram expressed their surprise that the Aussie hip-hop act had pulled off such a high placing. Another surprise, given Triple J's indie leanings: The Veronicas' 2007 pop-dance hit Untouched has now been deemed the third-best Australian song of all time. Among those celebrating it as 'the national anthem' were those who were less enthusiastic about its placing: 'I don't get it! It's not a bad song, but seriously…. the 3rd best Australian song of all time??' asked one commenter. 'God this song sounds like a Raspberry Cruiser,' wrote another (which could be a diss or a compliment, frankly). The placing made The Veronicas the highest-charted females in a male-heavy top 100 – but they were joined in the top five by Missy Higgins, who scored a number four placing for her 2004 number one hit Scar. Rounding out the top five was another controversial entry: The classic Crowded House ballad Don't Dream It's Over. A brilliant song, sure, but as many asked in the comment section: Can we really claim it as our own when half the band (among them the man who actually wrote the song, Neil Finn) are from New Zealand? Powderfinger, Paul Kelly, Gotye and back-to-back entries from Cold Chisel rounded out the top 10. Some other surprises and notable entries, further down the list: • A couple of massive Aussie anthems made the list: John Farnham's You're The Voice at #15 and Daryl Braithwaite's The Horses at #30. • She might be our biggest pop export, but Kylie Minogue had to settle for a top 30 placing for her sole entry – Can't Get You Out Of My Head made it to number 27. • It pretty much hasn't left the charts since it was released over a decade ago, but Vance Joy's 16 x platinum monster Riptide only just snuck into the top 50 at #48. • Those who missed out: Not a single entry in the top 100 for beloved Aussie acts like Sia, Something For Kate, Troye Sivan, Madison Avenue, Tina Arena, Pete Murray, The Vines or The Easybeats.

Ed Sheeran's wife ‘can kill a song.' It's why he's careful about sharing music with her
Ed Sheeran knows to only play new music for his wife, Cherry Seaborn, when she is feeling positive. In a new episode of Kylie Kelce's 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast, the singer shared that he '100 percent' has a window of opportunity when it comes to playing new tunes for his spouse. 'Cherry can kill a song. She can. I'm actually really careful to play her songs when she's in a good mood,' Sheeran said. 'Because if she's like, 'Eh,' then in my mind, I'm like, 'Okay. That song's dead.' ' The 'Perfect' singer first met Seaborn when they were growing up in Sheffield, England. They married in 2018 after dating for three years. She knows him well, Sheeran said, adding that his wife has 'very good taste and read on things.' 'Like, even I would write, I'd say, three songs a day, five days a week,' he said. 'And I'll come home and I'll play them. And she can sift through that pretty easily.' She's not the only one. Their daughters, Lyra, 4, and Jupiter, 2, also have a good read on Sheeran's music. 'When I'm away, she'll play my songs to them to kind of, like, I don't know, introduce the music to them slowly,' Sheeran said. 'And it's interesting, the ones that they, like, gravitate towards. And it's definitely the ones that are, like that all kids have gravitated towards, I guess.'
