The Sydney six-piece came in at No 1 and No 100, in a broadcast which featured a strong turnout for women in the top 10
Sydney’s Ocean Alley have won the 2018 Triple J Hottest 100 with Confidence, one of four songs by the band to make it into this year’s countdown – the largest song poll in Australia.
Confidence is the lead single from Chiaroscuro, the second album from the northern beaches six-piece.

Annual reminder that if you don't like what's on the #Hottest100 and you're over 35, that's kind of the point!
To the middle-aged people who will inevitably whinge about modern music today, it’s worth remembering that Shaggy - Boombastic and Madison Avenue - Dont Call Me Baby made the #hottest100 in the glory days of the 90s @triplej

Overall in the #Hottest100 we saw 62:38 (all male acts) : (acts with at least one woman, incl fts).
AFAIK, only one track with more than one woman: SanCisco's When I Dream at no. 48.
If I'd been counting acts with at least 50% women, the stats would have looked VERY different.
