‘No f***ing way Doja cannot be number one, this is a f***ing joke’ raged another. 

Others were angry that Australia pop star Troye Sivan, who had been tipped as the winner, was ‘robbed’. 

Scores of fans listening to the countdown at home were outraged that the US top star slid into the peak position, with many sharing their thoughts on X. But others were pleased 

‘Nah I’m tuning out now… Doja Cat cannot come number one she’s not Australian’ said yet one more. 

Some pointed out that Doja Cat was unlikely to listen to the countdown with one person writing, ‘Doja Cat would not even know this was happening lmao’. 

Others were pleased with the victory, with one fan writing, ‘Congrats Doja. Deserved’. 

Australian pop superstar G Flip came so close to victory, rolling into the number two spot with the track The Worst Person Alive. 

The non-binary artist however made history, as the highest placing for a non-binary artist ever and a record-breaking seven entries in the countdown.
