'Your street cred has been spent': Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's top 10 Australian songs list divides social media
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has stirred up debate online after revealing his top 10 Australian songs of all time as part of Triple J's upcoming Hottest 100 vote. Posting to Instagram on Thursday, the 67-year-old Labor leader shared his list, which leaned heavily on classic pub rock and '90s indie anthems. "Hard to narrow down to just 10," Albanese wrote, placing The Angels' iconic track 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' in the number one spot. Also featured were 'Flame Trees' by Cold Chisel at number two, 'Dogs Are The Best People' by The Fauves at three, and 'Cattle and Cane' by The Go-Betweens in fourth place. Midnight Oil's politically-charged 'Beds Are Burning' and Paul Kelly's storytelling ballad 'How to Make Gravy' also made the cut. According to Triple J, the special edition countdown, which airs on July 26, is "dedicated to the homegrown artists and tracks that have resonated across generations, and helped define our nation's sound". While some praised the PM's musical taste and joined in with their own suggestions, many others weren't impressed, particularly those angry over what they saw as a lack of attention to serious global and domestic issues. Most of the criticism came from supporters of the 'Free Palestine' movement. "Your PR team going in overdrive to try and make you seem human/ relatable… but there is NOTHING relatable to a PM who has absolutely lost touch with his humanity," one user wrote. "Seriously??? This is what gets posted??? Far out. What a disgrace," said another. "We don't care, Albo. All of your street cred has been spent #freepalestine," a third wrote, while another simply added: "Cringe. Genocide Albo." Others used the moment to comment on their desire for a Treaty between the Government and First Nations peoples. "Still no Treaty?" one follower asked, while another added: "How about Treaty by Yothu Yindi? It's time!" Still, there was support in the comments too, with users welcoming the list as a bit of fun and an insight into the PM's personal taste. "Albo mate wheres Carrion by Parkway Drive," one user joked. "Respect to Albo!" said another. "All beauties, but so many more gems missing… I can't even make a top 10!" added a third. The post even earned the attention of the artists involved. "I'm glad Albo picked Flame Trees," Cold Chisel frontman Jimmy Barnes told The Australian. "It's a great song and he's a great leader. Maybe he could lead us all into singing the chorus. Come on Anthony, let's sing!" The Angels' guitarist Rick Brewster also weighed in, saying: "It's an honour to be included with all these amazing artists." He joked about the track's famous crowd chant, "No way, Get f****d, F**k off!" suggesting Albanese may have had a hand in its origins. "How Face Again took such a sharp left turn when the well-known chant began is anyone's guess. No internet, no mobile phones… just good old Aussie bush telegraph! Maybe you started it, Anthony?" Known for his love of spinning tracks as alter ego 'DJ Albo', the Prime Minister has long expressed his passion for music. Late last year, he shared his Spotify Wrapped list of favourite 2024 tracks, all by Australian artists. That list, which saw Melbourne artist G Flip's Australia taking top spot, also sparked backlash from followers. "Is he for real?" one X user wrote in response at the time. "I'm not interested in your music selections. I'm more interested in what your selections for our country are," said another. Still, there were those who defended the post. "Come on, even the PM is allowed to have some fun," one user said.

Anthony Albanese: Prime Minister casts vote for top 10 Aussie songs of all time
While his days as a part-time DJ might be behind him, Anthony Albanese has proven he's still a music-lover at heart by sharing his collection of top 10 Aussie songs ever released. Casting his vote in Triple J's Hottest 100 of Australian Songs, Mr Albanese listed what he believed to be the best homegrown songs in history and shared them with the nation on social media. 'Hard to narrow down to just 10,' he said. Loading Instagram Post The PM's votes were part of a national poll held by the alternative radio station, with the survey typically held annually in January to highlight the top 100 songs from each year. However, with Triple J celebrating 50 years of operation, a countdown of the greatest 100 songs of all time will be revealed on July 26 as voted by listeners. 'They've been the playlist to our lives, defined the sound of the nation and echoed across generations, and now we get to champion all the tracks that have lasted a lifetime (or more),' Triple J's website reads. Among the PM's list are Paul Kelly's Christmas anthem How To Make Gravy, Midnight Oil's politically fuelled Beds Are Burning, and The Angels' pub classic Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. With such a contentious proclamation, naturally, Aussies chimed in with their approval rating. And they didn't hold back. 'Not surprised 'How to make gravy' made your list mate, although I'm sure 'Dumb Things' is much more appropriate,' one person wrote. 'I have a song for you Albo … Shaddup You Face — Joe Dolce,' another teased. Several followers suggested the PM should focus more attention on fixing the issues crippling Australians. 'Thanks mate power bill went up 10% in the time it took me to read this,' one said. John Farnham, Daryl Braithwaite, and AC/DC were three of several big-name artists the public implored Mr Albanese to consider. And some noted that his list was heavily dominated by male artists, asking, 'Where are the women?' However, there were some fans of his selection. 'How To Make Gravy to be a hot contender,' one person wrote. 'Great taste Albo! The coolest Prime Minister ever!' another said, albeit likely sarcastically. After he was similarly mocked in 2024 for sharing his Spotify Wrapped top songs, the PM either didn't learn his lesson the first time, or didn't care. His top five most-listened tunes last year included Australia by G Flip, Letting Go by Angie McMahon, Still Have Room by Hockey Dad, Lime Cordial's Pedestal, and Get Me Out by King Stingray. Years before Mr Albanese was exalted into the top job in politics, the PM was known to jump on the DJ decks at various events on the East Coast and spin his favourite tracks.

Abbie Chatfield's boyfriend and Peking Duk frontman Adam Hyde shares VERY harsh message for Peter Dutton live on stage at wild gig
Abbie Chatfield 's boyfriend made his political views well known at a gig in Margaret River over the weekend. Adam Hyde, who fronts the DJ duo Peking Duk alongside Reuben Styles, played a show at the Settlers Tavern on Saturday night as it was revealed the Labour party led by Anthony Albanese had won the Australian 2025 election. At the raging gig, Adam played The Angels' 1977 hit Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again and could be heard leading a chant, yelling into the microphone: 'No way get f***ed Dutton,' which the crowd joined in on. It is assumed that the DJ was referring to Peter Dutton, the leader of the Liberal party who fell behind in the polls and lost his parliamentary seat on Saturday night. In the clip, Adam wore a white singlet that showed off his toned, tattooed arms along with a pair of black pants fitted with a belt. The frontman, who began dating media personality Abbie last June, wore his messy locks in curls which fell over his shoulders as he riled up the crowd.

The It's A Lot podcast host, 29, could be seen crying as she celebrated Peter Dutton falling behind in the polls, telling her followers she was 'so proud of Australians' who gave their support to Anthony Albanese and the Greens. 'This is the most important election of our lives. There are so many things at stake here... This is just so relieving. This is so important for our mental health not living in a country where the majority of people are hateful,' she said. 'I really do believe Australians are intelligent, empathetic people as a whole... It felt like we were American levels of divided, this result has shown we aren't divided. 'We are so lucky to live in the best election system in the whole world.' As for Greens leader Adam Bandt, who Abbie has been a staunch supporter of, the former reality TV star said she was disappointed the party wasn't in the lead, but was happy to see Opposition Leader Peter Dutton falling behind. 'I'm very upset about the Greens situation obviously, but... I'm just so proud of Australians for not doing what Americans did,' she said, referencing Donald Trump winning the last US election for presidency. She went on to say she has been mercilessly 'trolled' by her critics and Liberal supporters in the lead up to the election. It comes after Abbie Chatfield (pictured) was left in tears as she went on Instagram live to film her real-time reaction to the vote count for the 2025 Federal Election 'I've never been trolled harder. I've been trolled to s***. It's been the worst it's ever been. It's all been worth it,' she said. A few hours before the vote, Abbie called for her followers to put 'the Libs last' on their ballots as she shared a gallery of photos which saw her posing with Bandt. She donned bright green slacks and a white T-shirt to show her support for the party as she took pictures with the Greens leader/ One photo saw Chatfield sitting on a desk with her arms cross as Bandt slipped on a pair of dark sunglasses and took a seat behind the desk. The last image in the gallery saw Abbie throwing her hands up and jumping with joy in front of a Greens billboard. 'AUSTRALIA YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!' she captioned the reel.
