Hottest 100 of the Decade Hall of Fame
ABCAs we get ready to count down the Hottest 100 of the Decade, we wanted to celebrate some of the amazing artists who soundtracked our 2010s. But instead of doubling down on the guitar scene dominance, Currents expanded the palette, subbing in trippy soul, dance music, mirrorball-lit funk, syrupy ballads and straight-up pop into Parker’s warped, singular vision. He’s also got a knack for the unconventionally addictive anthems, resulting in his highest Hottest 100 appearances with Vera Blue and Kai. “It hasn’t been a complete Cinderella story for me from day one,” Amy told triple j in 2018 about ‘I Said Hi’, an empowering pop gem that busted the myth of her ‘overnight success’. It pushed the band’s sound into new and fun territories, and resulted in their highest Hottest 100 position yet, with ‘Exactly How You Are’ reaching #18.
