Local man put more thought into Hottest 100 vote than he did for the election

Local 36 year old Jeremy Smith has expressed relief after the “hardest vote of his life”: the Hottest 100 Australian songs.

Smith spent hours breaking down a long list of songs, whittling it down to just ten; a stark contrast to the much easier vote of the election which he came to a decision on in 5 minutes based purely on vibes.

“There is so much more to consider than you would think going into it,” he said after posting a screenshot of his list to Instagram which looked nearly identical to every other list posted.

“First of all, it didn’t hit me just how many options there were until I opened the website. Then I had to think, do I just pick my favourite songs or do I be strategic with my vote and try lock in my back-ups whose only chance is at the bottom of the hundred and arguably need the push more.”

“Even if I just went by artist do I do the same artist more than once? If not which of the songs do I pick? Are fans of this artist risking splitting the vote leading to none of the songs making? This is too much pressure!”
