@peterrenshaw Triple J plays lots of Aussie music, but it's no longer the force it was (no radio station is) and the vast majority of voters probably do not listen to Triple J more than once a year. Having said that, don't take the Warm Tunas predictions as gospel - Australian music tends to do very well, with e.g. 52/100 songs last year including numbers 2, 3, and 4.
