This year’s Triple J Hottest 100 is now underway, counting down the 100 best songs of the past 12 months, as voted by the public.
Stay with us through the afternoon as we cover all the highlights – and upsets – in the race to this year’s number one song. And scroll to the bottom of this story for the full list, updated as its announced.
Massive hits just miss the top 10
A couple of last year’s biggest songs just missed a top 10 placing: Olivia Rodrigo’s ballad Vampire made number 11, while R&B singer SZA’s inescapable Kill Bill - the third-highest selling single of 2023 in Australia - ranked at number 13.
Fierce debate as pop dominates
The Hottest 100 seems to be getting more poppy as we head to the pointy end, with multiple entries for Dua Lipa, Tate McRae and Olivia Rodrigo, pop queens Kylie Minogue and Madonna both getting their first placing in decades, and several hits from the Barbie soundtrack making the list.
Some people are loving it...
And as you’d expect, others are not.
G Flip takes over
As we approached the top 20, G Flip just chalked up their sixth entry in this year’s countdown with Be Your Man at number 22. With placings at 24 and 26, it’s suddenly starting to feel a little like Triple J’s Hottest 100 G Flip songs. Are there more entries to come for the Aussie singer-songwriter and drummer?
Olivia and Troye tag-team Triple J
After entries from Madonna, Kylie, Dua Lipa and Tate McRae, the pop domination continues as we head into this year’s top 30:
34: Olivia Rodrigo - Get Him Back!
33: Troye Sivan - Got Me Started
32: Olivia Rodrigo - Bad Idea Right?
31: Troye Sivan - One Of Your Girls.
Rodrigo also had an entry at number 56, while Sivan is one of the biggest contenders for the top spot with his biggest hit of the past 12 months, Rush.
Kylie Minogue, record-breaking Triple J darling
She’s done it! Kylie Minogue has made her first appearance on the Triple J Hottest 100 in decades, with last year’s inescapable viral hit Padam Padam coming in at number 48.
Australia’s Queen of Pop first made her mark on the Hottest 100 in 1994 when her moody ballad Confide In Me landed at number 30. A year later, her Nick Cave duet Where The Wild Roses Grow cracked the top ten, and in 1997 she made her final appearance - until now - when the Indie Kylie anthem Did It Again made it to number 81.
The Triple J hosts announced that the 26-year break between drinks makes Kylie a record breaker: It’s the longest gap between entries in Hottest 100 history.
And a few songs later, another pop icon makes her first appearance in the Hottest 100 in decades: At 65 years old, Madonna is at #43 with her Weeknd and Playboy Carti duet Popular.
Her only Hottest 100 placings before this came in 1999 (Beautiful Stranger, 67) and 2000 (Music, 87).
Just outside the top 40 at 41, another big female pop artist made her Hottest 100 debut: Dua Lipa’s placed in the countdown for the first time in her career with her latest single Houdini. There is a possible explanation why this is the Dua song to suddenly make her a Triple J fave: It’s produced by Kevin Parker, of Triple J mainstays Tame Impala.
Fans fume over Triple J’s big change
The ABC announced some surprising news in August last year: The national broadcaster would be shutting down almost all their official Twitter accounts, among them Triple J, followed by more than half a million people.
Fast forward five months, and that makes for a very quiet Hottest 100 on Twitter, now X.
Without an official Triple J account to announce each new entry, there’s a distinct lack of buzz on the social media platform - and a lack of that old Hottest 100 favourite reply, “Shoulda been higher.”
Fans have noted how strange this new post-Twitter Hottest 100 feels:
Repeat offenders
At 3:30pm we’re approaching the halfway mark of the countdown, and already this afternoon, there have been a lot of repeat entries: Lana Del Rey, G Flip, The Kid Laroi and Genesis Owusu are among the acts who’ve already placed two songs. Aussie pop princess Peach PRC is having a killer year, with three songs already, and UK metal act Bring Me The Horizon pulled off a rare double, with songs charting at 57 and 58.
Aussie acts dominate first quarter
A quarter of the way through the countown, and Aussies have dominated so far, with 15 Australian acts among the 25 announced: Big hitters include The Kid Laroi at 78 with Bleed, G Flip at 80 with 7 Days and Peach PRC at 81 with Like A Girl Does.
The hosts have teased that this year, 52 Aussie acts in total make it into the Hottest 100. That’s actually down on last year, when 57 Australian acts placed in the countdown.
A very poppy surprise entry
Canadian pop star Tate McRae has scored a couple of big hits in the past 12 months with her very pop-heavy new material, complete with tightly-choreographed dance routines. She was a commercial radio and ARIA chart mainstay - but it was perhaps a bit more of a surprise to see her placing on the Hottest 100. Her single Exes was 82 -and later on, bigger hit Greedy just missed the top 20.
Higher up the list, two pop-heavy entries from the Barbie soundtrack: Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s Aqua-sampling Barbie World at 66 and Dua Lipa’s Dance the Night at 28.
Last year’s winner makes an appearance
Sydney singer-songwriter MAY-A won the Hottest 100 last year, as the featured vocalist on Flume’s hit single Say Nothing. One year on, and she’s placed at 94 with her own solo single, the rocky Sweat You Out My System. Will she have more entries on the list as the day goes on?
Coming in at number 100...
...Is Lost The Break-Up by English singer-songwriter Maisie Peters. And one spot higher, at #99, we have our first Like A Version entry: Aussie pop punk band Slowly Slowly with their cover of Blink-182’s I Miss You. And two more Aussie entries come in quick succession after that: Genesis Owusu’s Stay Blessed at 97 and Aussie rapper Chillinit at 96 with his Australian Crawl-sampling Boys Light Up.
This year’s favourites to win
Sportsbet has Doja Cat’s Paint The Town Red listed as the favourite to win this year’s poll – which makes sense, seeing as the song was one of the biggest hits of 2023.
But an Aussie act could still take it out for the third year in a row: Also in the running according to Sportsbet are MK and Dom Dolla’s dance floor filler Rhyme Dust and Troye Sivan’s banger Rush.
