Flume deserves a good round of applause after Australia named ‘Never Be Like You’ the top hit of the year. Triple J’s Hottest 100 is Australia’s international music poll to find the best songs of the year. It’s a tradition to listen to Triple J’s countdown to number one while enjoying the summer barbecue on Australia Day, the country’s day of independence. 2.2 million votes were sent in this year making it one of the biggest music polls in the world.
‘Never Be Like You’ beat phenomenal tracks from other artists like Amy Shark, Childish Gambino, Blink-182, Beyonce and What So Not. Let’s not forget other successes by the artist in the Top 100 like ‘Say It’ at number 8, ‘Smoke & Retribution’ at number 37 and ‘Lose It’ at number 95. The lovable Australian has given us so much to enjoy on his album Skin and Flume isn’t showing any sign of slowing down.
