AB Original is hoping they will.
That Fairfax story is misleading - the comments by Molloy & Kennedy were made well before the âOzzest 100 controversyâ became a story

Surely it would be the first time in at least 30 years that a commercial radio station would take any notice of public votes for a supposedly âpublic-votedâ countdownâŚ

Or a non-commercial network, if truth be told.
There was a campaign from Taylor Swift fans to get her song into the Triple J countdown and they famously announced that it was out of contention because it wasnât a song ever on their playlist.

Yeah but thatâs fair enough. Taylor Swift is about as far from Triple Jâs core purpose as they come. Allowing her to be played wouldâve been a disaster for the public broadcaster.

I disagree completely. Imagine all the free publicity!
No-one who listens to Triple J currently would have switched because of it, and they might have picked up new younger listeners who would never have considered them before.
Now to see if we can get Taylor Swift in the âozzestâ 100âŚ

Surely we can adopt her like we do every other slightly famous person who give even the slightest flattering remarks about Australia�
We do have strict standards now though so she wonât pass the test. 
Taylor Swift on Triple M gee i never thought i would see the day.
It already happens in regional areas that have their âheritageâ stations now carrying the Triple M name.

I can kinda understand stations like Sea FM Rocky and stations like that playing Taylor Swift as they have always had a wider group of music.
If you told me 2 years ago there might be a day you would hear Taylor Swift on 4GR and Triple M Brisbane⌠I would have called bullcrap.

Listen to some of the regional Triple Mâs, they flog her to death.

Taylor Swift will be on the Pure Gold network before longâŚ
Some of the songs they play now are terrifyingly recent.
No Doubt, Smashmouth, Powderfinger, Green Day, Maroon 5⌠I remember when all these were on high rotation on the FoxâŚ

Yes, as recent as 2014âŚPharrell Williamsâs âHappyââ is the most recent song Iâve heard (on WSFM).
Likewise âGeronimoâ by Sheppard, which came out on the same year.

And while weâre at it⌠Lorde too. The only reason why she didnât win in 2013 was because (seemingly) Australians hate Kiwis so much!
Fair enough.
Sweeper on Triple M SydneyâŚ
âIcehouse⌠As Sydney as Triple MââŚ
Then they played âWallsâ, which was by Flowers. I know Flowers became Icehouse, but still, the song didnât quite match the sweeper⌠They should have played âBaby Youâre So Strangeâ, which doesnât get enough airplay imo.
