The Rubens slam dunk Hottest 100 with Hoops

Now in its 23rd year, triple j’s Hottest 100 pulled in 2,094,350 votes cast by music fans from 172 countries around the world. 

The network’s core demographic of 18-24 year olds made up 44% of the voters. 

Of the 16,000+ songs voted for in the 2015 Hottest 100, it was The Rubens song ‘Hoops’ which triple j listeners crowned #1.

triple j’s Content Director Ollie Wards says of the song “Dropping in July 2015, the song’s four to the floor beat and sing along lyrics make it a total earworm for triple j listeners. Despite it being a slower song for the band, ‘Hoops’ always gets the crowd moving at their awesome live shows. After just a few listens the song makes you feel like you’ve been hearing it for years. That familiarity combined with The Rubens trademark RnB-meets-blues-rock swagger got it to 2015’s Hottest 100 #1.”
