Ozzest 100 announced

TRIPLE M has unveiled its own countdown for Australia Day after rival station Triple J controversially changed the date of its annual Hottest 100 countdown.

The rock-centric station said it would kick off its inaugural “Ozzest 100” on Australia Day next month.

“The taxpayer-funded FM has decided that there’ll be no soundtrack for Australia Day,” it said. “Let’s face it, that’s usually full of hipsters or kids making music on a Mac.

“We don’t care about a Top 40 chart position, who wrote it or even awards, it’s just got to be Aussie.”
