There's an alternative to Triple J's Hottest 100 for those who want to have laugh while enjoying their music charts. 

The Coldest 100, hosted on X by former journalist Andrew Sholl, landed on Saturday and rattled off Australia's worst and most cringey tracks. 

Coming in at number one was no less than Abbie Chatfield's boyfriend Adam Hyde, under his stage name, Keli Holiday. 

Adam won the honour of Australia's least popular song for his track, Islands in the Stream, alongside Karl Stefanovic, which he released last year.

At number two was English pop star Jarvis Cocker with Two Little Boys - which was his bizarre impression of disgraced children's entertainer Rolf Harris

The Pulp frontman performed the comedy routine on a 2002 episode of British television series Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes. 

At number three was X Factor Spain hopeful Nieves Muñoz belting out a very odd version of Sia's Chandelier during the auditions phase of the singing competition. 

The viral clip has done several rounds on the internet since surfacing in 2016 and this year landed on the Coldest 100 chart. 

At number four was Canva Rap, a work conference rap starring Canva CEO Melanie Perkins and a number of employees. 

It was released in 2024 and caused widespread amusement at its cringe lyrics and awkward dancing. 

At number five was a long forgotten promotional video for a local NSW shopping centre. 

I Am Wollongong, from the  Gateway On the Mall Shopping Centre, was released in 1986 and still fascinates viewers today. 

Other notable mentions were Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport by Shirley Bassey in 1976 and Hello Kerri by Kerri-Anne Kennerley in 1998.

Where Is the Love, a promo from the Sunrise team from 2004, likewise made the quirky list at number 44. 

You're the Voice by Julian Assange in 2013 was at number 17 and Simon Says by Simon Townsend from 1984 charted at 100. 

It comes after Chappell Roan was crowned as the winner of the Triple J Hottest 100 during the January 25 countdown on Saturday.

In the third position was US pop star Billie Eilish with her hit Birds of a Feather while UK singer Lola Young claimed number four with her viral track Messy.

Another American rounded out the top five, with Gracie Abrams winning the slot with her single That's So True.

The top ten featured another Eilish hit, her collaboration British star Charli XCX, Guess, at number six, while at seven was Aussie DJ Dom Dolla with girl$.

Listeners were less than impressed however, with many sharing their thoughts on the countdown on X. 

'If ever there was a reason to defund The ABC, it's over the current state of Triple J and the #hottest100' wrote person. 

'Never heard the song. Never heard of the artist. It's officially dead #hottest100' said another. 

'S**t song won yet again, gross' wrote one more while someone else posted, 'If you're listening to Triple J you should just cut your ears off'.

'Okay and it's not that I'm old okay, I'm normal age, it's just that Triple J used to be an ALTERNATIVE station they used to play INTERESTING music now they play SLOP they play CRAP' said one more. 

'Remember when Triple J was the alternative to mainstream radio with an alternative music mix? What is this s**t they're coughing up these days? Horrid' posted one more listener.

Just 29 songs of the top 100 came from Australian acts, with Dom Dolla charting highly and Melbourne punks Amyl and the Sniffers (pictured) gaining multiple entries 

This year's countdown was dominated by Charli XCX (pictured) and Eilish. The stars broke the record for the most songs in a Hottest 100 countdown with eight each

'Triple J has a quota of 40% Aussie artists and just 29 songs made the 100. Has to be the lowest in years? Grim' complained someone else. 

'Here's the thing I don't think Taylor and Gracie should be in the hottest 100 but also by their standard of stardom people like Billie, Dua, Olivia, Charli and more also shouldn't be in it' one more complained.

'Triple J has completely lost the plot like there are barely any Aussie artists' they added. 

Others were happy with the result, with one person posting: 'If an American has to win at least it's my fav lesbian'. 

Another wrote: 'That was all a bit of a yawn but f**k yes that number one is the right choice!'

'Hottest 100 redeemed by Good Luck Babe CHAPPELL U BLOODY LEGEND' yet one more said. 

This year's countdown was dominated by overseas acts, with Charli XCX and Eilish ruling the chart.
