Which artist will claim top spot on Triple J's Hottest 100?

Settled as Kings of Leon

AMERICAN rock group Kings of Leon have topped the annual Triple J Hottest 100 poll with Sex on Fire.

Background:

Background: It's the great Australia Day tradition - laze by the pool, put a barbie on and listen to Triple J's hottest 100 countdown for 2008.

For all the nominees, either by song or by artist, and to vote you can go to the triple j website.

Or see the full 12-page list by artist here.

Starting odds have been loosely derived from here.

**Ps - Australia Day is January 26. Triple J is Australia's national, government-funded, alternative radio station.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source. I've set the suspend time to 5.30pm Sydney time. Hopefuly triple j will report the winner here http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/
