2022 Triple J Hottest 100: Australia’s Top Booking Agents, Ranked

Who are Australia’s Top Booking Agents?

Last week, TMN once again revealed Australia’s Top Artist Managers after crunching the numbers following the 2022 triple j Hottest 100 in January.

With some help from industry friends this year, we’ve dived even deeper into the data to discover Australia’s Top Booking Agents. These individuals work tirelessly behind the scenes to build careers, often from the ground up.

Like our managers’ list, agents are ranked based on how well their artists performed on the annual music countdown that stops the nation.

TMN has assigned each agent a score based on how well their artists charted. For example, a No.1 position gave Flume’s Agent a score of 100, No.3 gave Spacey Jane’s agent a score of 98, and so on.

Collating this data, we’ve compiled an in-depth list that helps to celebrate and spotlight Australia’s Top Agents.
