HOBART rising star Asta yesterday became the first Tasmanian musician to be voted into Triple J's annual Hottest 100 countdown.
The 19-year-old Rosny College student's electro-pop song My Heart is On Fire came in at number 50, beating out some of the biggest names in music like Mumford & Sons, Jack White and Kanye West.
The honour was a big surprise, especially for the singer herself, who yesterday admitted to the Sunday Tasmanian that she had already given up on hearing it by the time it hit the airwaves.
Last week, a website had predicted she would enter the chart at number 79 and when that place came and went Asta thought her chances might be over.
In Brisbane for a gig today, Asta listened to the countdown in a pub with friends.
When her song was announced they all jumped up and down screaming with excitement.
"I'm amazed, I can't believe it," she said.
"Apparently you need millions of votes so if someone told me yesterday I'd be number 50, I would not have believed them.
"I'm very grateful to my fans and everyone who voted. Thanks Tasmania!"
Asta has a new single, I Need Answers, coming out in a few weeks on iTunes and the radio.
