Tame Impala has finally claimed the top spot in triple j's Hottest 100 with 'The Less I Know The Better', a feat that frontman Kevin Parker describes as the most significant achievement of his career. In an interview with triple j's Sally & Erica, Parker expressed his lifelong dream of winning the countdown, saying it means more to him than headlining festivals or winning Grammys.
The song, released in 2015 on the album Currents, became a cultural phenomenon, turning the name Trevor into a meme and sparking widespread discussion. Parker joked about the Trevors who voted for the track, thanking them for being good sports.
Parker revealed that he had a strong feeling the song might win the Hottest 100 of the Decade, noting its enduring popularity. Unlike many artists who grow tired of their biggest hits, Parker says he still loves 'The Less I Know The Better' and enjoys playing it live.
Tame Impala also placed three other songs in the countdown: 'Let It Happen' at #26, 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards' at #65, and 'Elephant' at #66.
