Let the countdown begin! In no particular order...
KELI HOLIDAY - DANCING2
What a tune!! Keli Holiday's viral breakout hit Dancing2 perfectly captures the carefree, sun-soaked vibe of summer. This indie-electro gem feels like a late-night dance floor under fairy lights, blending nostalgic synths with a groove that's impossible to ignore, plus that epic, euphoric chorus! If this doesn't land in the Hottest 100, we'll eat our bucket hats.
You can catch Keli Holiday live on his 'Capital Fiction Tour' this March in VIC, QLD, WA & SA. Grab your tickets now!
PLAYLUNCH - KEITH
Melbourne bogan-funk favourites, Playlunch came in hot with their cheeky and chaotic single Keith! This track is a whirlwind of Aussie humour, punchy riffs and infectious energy that makes you want to grab your mates and belt it out at full volume. It's raw, fun and it doesn't take itself too seriously, exactly what we love about Playlunch.
Keen to see Keith played live? Playlunch are heading on 'The Sex Ed Regional Tour' this Mar-May in TAS, ACT & NSW. Secure your tickets now!
TAME IMPALA - DRACULA
When the legend himself Kevin Parker (aka Tame Impala) drops a track, the world listens and Dracula is no exception. Kevin has once again delivered a psychedelic masterpiece that feels like floating through a neon dream. With hypnotic basslines, shimmering synths and his signature lush production, Dracula is equal parts eerie and euphoric, pulling you into its orbit from the first note.
Will Dracula sink its teeth into the top 10? We wouldn't be surprised. This one's destined to dominate playlists long after the countdown ends.
OLIVIA DEAN - MAN I NEED
Olivia Dean has been serving soulful perfection all year, and Man I Need is the crown jewel. Smooth, heartfelt and dripping with emotion, this track feels like a warm hug wrapped in velvet vocals. Dean's ability to blend classic soul influences with a modern edge makes Man I Need a standout in 2025. It's been on heavy rotation for good reason: the groove is irresistible, and her voice? Pure magic. Our prediction? This isn't just a contender, it's a frontrunner. We're calling it for the win or, at the very least a spot in the top five!
BALL PARK MUSIC - PLEASE DON'T MOVE TO MELBOURNE
Everyone's favourite indie rockers Ball Park Music are in the running with another indie anthem, Please Don't Move to Melbourne! The tune is witty, warm and packed with that signature BPM charm with quirky lyrics, jangly guitars and a chorus that sticks like glue. It's the kind of track that feels like a conversation with a mate over a beer, equal parts heartfelt and hilarious.
Ball Park Music are hitting the road for 'The Rock 'n' Roll Adventure Continues...' Tour this May across VIC, NSW & WA. Grab your tickets now!
