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.
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:
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.
