If the Australian TripleJ audience is any measure of popularity it will be. The hottest 100 countdown (annual listener-voted song tally) for 2011 placed Gotye at #1 for Somebody I Used to Know and for last years countdown Macklamore took out the top spot for Thrift Shop. It's really interesting to see such a time-disconnect between the songs doing the rounds down here and making an impact on the US charts. I'm not trying to make this a "we're so ahead of you" thing but did Thrift Shop have any sort of airplay beyond the previous few weeks? It was way back in 2012 when it was popular on JJJ, same with Gotye, his song was the big hit of 2011 here and he's taking out the 2012 Grammys there. There's also a pretty big disconnect in duration between JJJ (Australia's main alternative radio station) and our commercial channels, there just seems to be a long gap between when something is released and when it gets played as new on the mainstream channels.
