From Ecca Vandal to ROSAL\u00cdA, Turnstile to Drifting Clouds, eight Like A Version covers and even 2024’s countdown winner Doja Cat, the Hottest 200 is bursting with absolute heaters.<\/p>\n

In the hallowed one-that-got-away 101 spot is none other than Playlunch and Aunty Donna, with their eternally-relevant diss track about real estate agents. And yes, it’s another song where they sneak a c-bomb or two onto the national broadcaster.<\/p>\n
