According to The Music, there have been over 850 cover songs featured on triple j's Like A Version (LAV) segment since it began in 2004. That's plenty of fodder for the upcoming LAV Hottest 100, which airs from noon AEST on Saturday, July 15.
So which cover is going to win? I'll probably do a deeper dive on the favourites closer to the date (voting opens Tuesday, May 23, and closes Monday, July, 10) but I just wanted to share this list of all the previous LAVs to make it into the Hottest 100... and the Hottest 200.
There have been 36 LAVs that have made it into the Hottest 100 in the past, and as far as public records show, a further 53 were voted between 101-200. Could the upcoming LAV Hottest 100 list look a little something like this (original positions for where these songs came are in brackets)?
