From iconic frontmen to powerhouse performers, the countdown was one for the ages. Names like Bono, Bruce Springsteen, and Amy Winehouse dominated the upper ranks, but in the end, only one voice stood above them all.
And the GOAT Lead Singer Is… Freddie Mercury
After weeks of voting and fierce debate, the people have spoken — Freddie Mercury takes the crown as Triple M’s Greatest Lead Singer of All Time.
The Queen frontman’s unmatched range, stage presence, and show-stopping charisma have stood the test of time, inspiring generations of artists and fans alike. Even decades on, Freddie’s voice continues to define what it means to be a true rock legend.
Only 38 Votes Separated the Top Three
It was a nail-biter right until the end. The final leaderboard came down to just 38 votes separating the top three contenders — proof that Australia’s love for rock’s greatest voices runs deep.
The poll saw an incredible mix of eras and genres represented, from classic rock pioneers to modern icons, showing just how passionate Triple M listeners are about their music.
One Lucky Listener Takes Home a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy
