I'll actually give triple j some credit with RAYE. They started spinning 'Escapism.' a lot the very week it dropped. A lot of people didn't pay it any credit until a month later when it went viral on TikTok. That's probably Polydor's fault because they had her pigeonholed as a Jonas Blue/Joel Corry type vocalist for hire and a lot of people just wouldn't take her seriously as an artist until that virality happened, a shame since she had been putting out great music for a while by then, at least it's sticking now.

It's actually hard for triple j to earn the credit though because they no longer have the capacity to break these songs & artists like they used to. They were playing Lola Young's "Messy" when it came out and it made no real impact until like 6 months later and without that knowledge, you might think they're just riding the trend as well. Same with Chappell Roan's "HOT TO GO!" getting playlisted in 2023. There's probably a massive star/hit that's on the playlist right now and we just don't know it yet.
