Countdown prediction site 100 Warm Tunas currently has Roan tipped to win, with Royel Otis coming in behind. The site began scraping voting data from social media posts in 2016, though its accuracy has somewhat waned over the years as “people are now posting less and less to Instagram … and instead favour more ephemeral means of sharing, like stories,” says 100 Warm Tunas creator Nick Whyte.
Other pop stars likely to join the fray include Taylor Swift protege Gracie Abrams with That’s So True, a motor-mouthed kiss-off to an ex that became a fan favourite on TikTok; Tove Lo, with her Dom Dolla collaboration Cave; and Addison Rae, whose swooning single Diet Pepsi catapulted her from TikTok influencer to bona fide pop insider last year.
Data from 100 Warm Tunas, though, does have a bevy of Australian peers clocking in just behind the top 10, including Dom Dolla,, The Rions, G Flip – with a cover of Taylor Swift’s Cruel Summer – and Hottest 100 mainstays Ball Park Music, who have appeared 13 times in the countdown to date.
