We've looked at the Deepest Stats, Frankest Facts around this year's Hottest 100, the various attempts at meme glory, the impact of Kendrick Lamar's 'HUMBLE.', and the Hottest 200. But now we're getting into another Hotest 100 hot topic.



What's the difference in voting between genders in the Hottest 100? Well, according to this year's countdown, quite a bit.

More women than men voted in this year's countdown: 51% of voters were female, 48% were male (1% elected 'other' or 'no answer'). But what about their tastes?

Our tech heads have crunched the numbers around this year's record-breaking 2.38 million votes and found that top dog Kung Fu Kenny was the dominant vote for both men and women, who also showed a neck-and-neck equal preference for PNAU (the #6 most popular vote) and Khalid (#12) but there's some interesting divergence beyond that.

There's far more Australian artists (including Unearthed acts) in the female Top 20, partly thanks to a strong preference for solo female artists (eg. Vera Blue, Meg Mac, Alex The Astronaut, Lorde). This might go towards answering a question we raised with Camp Cope bassist Kelly-Dawn on the Hottest 100 Tally Room - if women were voting for other women in this year's Hottest 100. The likes of Angus & Julia Stone, Thundamentals, and The Jungle Giants also proved a bit more popular with the ladies. As well as Ball Park Music's 'Exactly How You Are', which didn't rate in the male Top 20.

Looking at that list: Gang Of Youths proved slightly more popular with the boys, as well as hip hop (BROCKHAMPTON, Post Malone, Big Shaq, more Kendrick), loud guitars rather than softer ones (The Smith Street Band vs Vance Joy), and funnily enough 'The Man' by The Killers, which didn't crack the female Top 20.

And, of course, we now who's to thank/blame for Big Shaq securing his prestigious Hottest 100 debut with 'Man's Not Hot'. More like, 'Man's Not Sorry'.
