It’s here. It’s almost upon us. The momentous day of the year. The day where the Australian passion for music, our tribal desire to drink in groups, and our multicultural enthusiasm for artists of different genres and backgrounds finally comes together in one piece.

The Ozzest 100. By Triple M. The greatest musical countdown in the world.

The Ozzest 100 is the greatest musical democracy in the world, with over eight blokes from Woollongong and South Woolloongong voting every year to determine whether Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel, or Ian Moss will take out the top gong.

Australia hotly anticipates each Ozzest 100 countdown with an energy that only rivals a Tina Arena arena spectacular at her peak.

And for fans of beers and Australian rock playlists on Spotify, the mid-week timing of the Ozzest 100 is a welcome surprise.

‘It’s really the most nailbiting, suspenseful day on the calendar,’ said a local man who didn’t make much eye contact.

No further comment could be reached from John Farnham.
