triple j’s Requestival has come and gone for another year, and as the dust settles on the chaos of last week, they are taking their hats off to triple j listeners and their brilliantly cooked collection of requests.

 
This year there was  everything from a Medieval cover of Shakira’s ‘Hips Don’t Lie’, to your favourite throwback TV theme songs and Julia Gillard’s Misogyny speech played out in full.
 
With more than 80,000 requests coming through via the triple j app, and plenty on the text line, they discovered that triple j listeners be weird, wonderful, nostalgic, unpredictable, and downright hilarious.
 
Content Director Laura McAuliffe says, “Round two of Requestival confirmed that triple j listeners will choose chaos every time and we’re absolutely here for it. We’ve loved seeing the audience up the ante this year, but what was most rewarding was hearing about the pure and personal attachments our listeners have to the songs they love. We’re already excited about the next round.”
 

 
For those who love a stat breakdown, they had over 598k song reactions via the triple j app during the week.
 
But which songs really got the audience to smash those thumbs up / thumbs down / heart-eyes / vomit emojis?
 
These were the top five most reacted-to songs:
 
Ludacris ‘Act A Fool’: 66% Loved, 34% Didn’t Love
