It barely feels like a year has passed, but triple j’s Hottest 100 has rolled around once again, with Australian music fans tuning in to see which tracks defined the past 12 months.
Voting opened late last year, giving listeners plenty of time to throw their support behind the songs they wanted etched into Hottest 100 history, before polls officially closed just over a week ago.
And if early signs are anything to go by, this year’s countdown is shaping up to be one of the closest yet, featuring 26 debut entries, a record number of back-to-back appearances, and at least one major Hottest 100 milestone set to fall.
Needless to say, there’s a lot of great songs – both local and international – in the running for musical glory this year, with the likes of Olivia Dean, Playlunch, Raye, and Ninajirachi among those fans hope to see at the pointy end.
The Hottest 100 glory will continue over the course of the next few days, with Double J travelling back 20 years to relive the Hottest 100 of 2005 on Sunday, January 25th. In the days following – Tuesday, January 27th to Friday, January 30th – triple j’s Hottest 200 of 2025 will play, with 20 songs a day from 8am-4pm. Then, on Saturday, January 31st, triple j”s Hottest 200 of 2025 will play in full, from 10am (local).
With millions of votes locked in and audiences around the world listening along, the stage is set for a tense finish as artists vie for top-ten spots, record-breaking moments, and Hottest 100 glory.
