Triple J Hottest 100 2012 Follow Up

So this weekend, in case you missed it, was the

Triple J Hottest 100 Countdown! 
(and also Australia Day, Happy Belated Australia Day!)

It's one of the world's largest public music polls started in 1989, hosted by an Australian radio station. On Australia Day, they spend the whole day counting down the top 100 songs as voted by the people (check out my votes here). Usually, a lot of the top 10 songs on the poll subsequently become huge in the US the next year. This year was actually a strong year for US artists (or maybe just more US voters), and the top artist came outta the good ol' US of A (& I actually first posted about him back in May [my second Musical Monday post EVER]), so if you've been listening to the right radio stations, you've probably heard it already.
But I won't do the big reveal here... you gotta scroll all the way down through all the awesome music to find out! So without further Ado,
