If there's one thing the internet is Germany Archivesgood for, its disrupting normal proceedings.
So nobody should have been surprised when a number of cheeky social media users piled on the "Hottest 100," an annual tradition hosted by Australian indie radio station Triple J.
A public poll that's been around since 1993, the countdown is announced in real time online as well as over the radio, setting it up as the perfect fodder for "sh*tposters."

Taylor's route was to make an occasionally NSFW pun based on each song's title, resulting a host of wordy gems. Highlights include his comment on the placement of Milky Chance's "Cocoon."

After 99 claims that the song in question should have ranked higher, he finally dropped his comment on the number one track, Flume's "Never Be Like You".

Think we know who the real winners of the competition were. Well played, boys.
