My Hottest 100: 2010s

On the 14th March 2020 Australian radio station Triple J, had their Hottest 100 of the 2010s. Inspired by this, I decided to come up with my own Hottest 100 of the 2010s.

In coming up with this list I did have some ground rules:

 - One song per artist
 - At least ten songs from each year
 - No kowtowing to the obvious
 - This list will be a combination of what I knew at the time and what I discovered at a later date
