Australia’s Coldest 100 returns for 2023 this Saturday 28th January with world class musical curiosities that only this wide and very beige land of Australia can produce.

Just look at this list of artists that Andrew Sholl has curated that you’ll never again see on the same list. This is Andrew’s seventh Coldest 100 and he doesn’t foresee running out of clips anytime soon.

The 2023 Coldest 100 brings Bud Tingwell, Wickety Wak, Germaine Greer, Tina Arena, The singing Citizens of Macarthur, Johnny Raper, Ian Turpie singing some Nirvana, and the legend himself, Steven Farnham.

Thrill to wonderful jingles that remind you of the natural beauty that is Perth, Brisbane and a chicken restaurant chain in Melbourne.

A recession may be averted by the use of interpretive dance on the Sunrise show…

After all, anyone can put together a list of the latest good songs. It takes a certain kind of goose like Andrew Sholl to put together 100 songs of Australian musical flotsam for 8 years in a row now.

The Coldest 100 this year has everything from Marlene Dietrich to Steven Farnham…

Andrew Sholl

It will all be going down from 9am Saturday 28th January on Twitter @Ozkitsch Andrew Sholl shows no sign of ever stopping his annual festival of Aussie frippery. So lean into it.

Australia’s Coldest 100 returns in January with some world class musical awkwardness that only Australia can produce. From The Bum Dance to Song of Wollongong, this list of 100 songs about Australia or by Australians (who may have received bad career advice) is a must for fans of the musical road less travelled.

The Coldest 100 is the creation of Andrew Sholl. He’s been featuring it on Twitter since 2016 and so far this year the combined worldwide interest in his list has seen 75 million views. So put that in your slouch hat and smoke it.

Every year I’m asked two questions: Where’s Johnny Farnham? and Where’s Alan Jones?

Andrew Sholl

I didn’t know Alan Jones was a singer, and I’m still not sure. But he gives I Am Australian a red hot try.

Any chance Alan gets to perform he’s up it like a rat up a rope.

Andrew Sholl

@Ozkitsch Andrew Sholl has been at this for 5 years now and he shows no sign of running out of Aussie musical oddities.

Australia’s Coldest 100 returns on 25th January with some of the weirdest music Australia has ever spawned.

The Coldest 100 was the creation of Andrew Sholl on Twitter in 2016 and has been the embarrassing family member at the barbecue of Triple J’s Hottest 100 ever since. Anyone can have a guess at the hottest song of the year. But who has ever nominated Margarita Pracatan or Daryl Somers performing his version of Thankyou for Being a Friend ?

@Ozkitsch Andrew Sholl has allowed me to play you a few spoilers from the big day on Saturday (about 25).
