30. Patrick James – Covered In Rain
“Patrick James finally released his debut album this year, and this track was a standout. Throwing everything we love about Patrick James at us, and pulling it off on tape which can prove tough at times.” – Gemma Bastiani
29. Fanny Lumsden – Soapbox
“Soapbox is a warm, upbeat and completely catchy country tune by rural NSW very own, Fanny Lumsden.” – Lucy Inglis
28. Lupe Fiasco – Prisoner 1 & 2
“For 10 minutes, Lupe ferociously and humorously explores the industrial prison complex in America, zipping in and out of different perspectives as he mocks and chastises the system. It’s ambitious and very much in-line to the outspoken, innovative emcee. ” – Chris Singh
27. Seaway – Best Mistake
“Hilarious music video which shows a humorous side to the talented Canadian bunch. A fun-loving song which masks all the elements of pop punk being done right!” – Jana Angeles
26. Adele – Hello
“Oh come on, you might grimace at this, but we all know at some point in the last couple of months you’ve found yourself in the car, screaming along at the top of your lungs (and more than likely fist pumping/crying) to this killer comeback track from Tottenham’s finest export.” – Elliot Oakes
25. Halsey – Hold Me Down
“It’s the kind of song you can’t help but join in singing, before you know it, you’re belting it out. Such a unique incredible voice.” – Mairead Bilton-Gough
24. Methyl Ethyl – Twilight Driving
“Twilight Driving proves why Perth’s Methyl Ethyl are one of Australia’s most buzz-worthy bands” – Larry Heath
23. Jarryd James – Do You Remember
“Delivering one of the most infectious songs of the year, Jarryd James has had a huge 2015 – there’s simply nothing not to love about this track.” – Larry Heath
22. Safia – Embracing Me
“Ben’s vocals have a way of communicating to the masses on an intimate level and Embracing Me is the loveable pop song with a 2015 electronic twist” – Antigone Anagnostellis
21. Gold Class – Life As A Gun
“Our introduction the the phenomenal Melbourne four-piece Gold Class. Driving, persistent post-punk that puts others to shame.” – Gemma Bastiani
