How did each Australian state and territory vote in the Hottest 100?

We're continuing to wade through the record-breaking 2.38 million votes we received for this year's Hottest 100. After figuring out how guys and girls voted differently in the countdown, we decided to run the numbers on each state and territory, breaking it down into Top 20 songs voted for across Australia.

The biggest story? Kendrick Lamar's 'HUMBLE.' was the #1 vote all across Australia... except for the Northern Territory, where the top vote went to Baker Boy. The Fresh Prince of Arnhem Land's track 'Marryuna' ended up ranking #17 in the countdown, catapulting Indigenous language into the Hottest 100 top end for the first time ever.

The votes per state/territory pretty much reflect the final Top 20 that made the countdown. However, looking beyond the final 20 produces a few minor exceptions. For instance...

Melbourne's The Smith Street Band only appeared in the Top 20 for VIC, but 'Birthdays' landed at #21 in the Hottest 100.

The Wombats proved popular in the ACT, SA, and TAS and their single 'Lemon To A Knife Fight' ranked at #22.

Sydney songwriter Alex The Astronaut made the cut for ACT and NT and ranked at #23.

US rapper Post Malone was a favourite in NT and ACT with his track 'rockstar' ft. 21 Savage (#24)

Amy Shark is Gold Coast's own musical daughter but her song 'Weekends' (#25) scored the most votes with NT.

Hailing from Sydney's Northern Beaches, Winston Surfshirt's 'Be About You' (#27) made an appearance in NSW votes.

More interestingly, Tash Sultana went from #3 in last year's Hottest 100 to #28 this year with 'Mystik'. She didn't appear in the Top 20 votes in any Australian state/territory. However, taking a look at International votes - she nabbed ALL. THREE. top spots.

Unsurprisingly, international artists fared better from overseas voters than with Australian voters - Portugal. The Man, Arcade Fire, Architects, Haim, and alt-J are some obvious examples. Still, there's plenty of songs that are reflected in the final Hottest 100 Top 20.
