Olivia Dean has been crowned the winner of this year’s Triple J‘s Hottest 100 countdown.
The British singer reigned supreme with her popular single, Man I Need, topping the lauded chart on Saturday.
Coming in at number two was one half of Aussie duo Peking Duk, Keli Holiday, with his hit Dancing2.
Inside Triple J headquarters, Holiday, real name Adam Hyde and who is dating Abbie Chatfield, said he was about to cry after finding out he had secured a spot so high on the list.
‘I want to weep, I feel so so happy right now, it’s beautiful,’ he said.
‘(Dancing2) taught me that love will always reign supreme and that loving is the most beautiful thing we can do.’

In the third position was Tame Impala with their hit Dracula while Playlunch claimed number four with their viral track Keith.
Lovers and haters of Tame Impala were quick to jump on the artists’ staggering longevity on the hottest 100 charts throughout the years.
One said: ‘Death. Taxes. Hottest 100 having an entire Tame Impala album’ could only be guaranteed while another said: ‘One can only admire them for now having 29 entries in total by essentially reworking the same song for a decade now.’
