#hottest100 — Public Fediverse posts

This week #TripleJ have been dribbling out the next 100 of their #Hottest100 poll, and I've placed another vote, at 147. Given #Flume 's dominance of this poll in the past I'm a little surprised this was so low, but I like this weird little ballad with #EmmaLouise . https://youtu.be/758p-cCYI2E

My thoughts on quite a limited listen to the 2025 #JJJ #Hottest100

For *reasons* I only heard the better part of the top 20 songs in this year’s Hottest 100 after having a real listen from 2000-2009 and skipping those between then and now.

What I heard was a lot of music that was eerily similar to the kind of music that you would find in a 1980’s playlist - it sounded very mainstream compared to past lists from the naughties. I didn’t hear any (c)rap.

I also noted there was a hell of a lot more Australian artists in the countdown (which is a good thing) than in past years and, according to The Guardian, the songs in the Hottest 100 were reflective of the general JJJ playlist during 2025.

My thoughts on why these things have occurred come down to the retirement of Richard Kingsmill. Kingsmill had an outsized influence for a very, very long time on what got played on JJJ. I suspect that a lot of the songs that got played and thus ended up in the 2025 countdown would never have been given airtime while he was still around - they simply would not have been ‘alternative enough’ for Kingsmill.

FTR - I don’t have an issue with Kingsmill, I am just noting the change.

Overall, the change is probably for the benefit of the Australian music industry - more local talent getting air time and more results in the Hottest 100. I am fairly sure promoting Australian music was the reason Gough Whitlam’s government set up (what was then) 2JJ … yes, I was around to the hear the launch.

Dinosaurs like me might wish for a higher number of songs that sound like what I am used to on JJJ, but we are not the JJJ demographic. While we have ‘aged out’ of JJJ, we kept listening anyway.

I would note in passing Number 4: ‘Keith’by PLAYLUNCH … that is an absolute cracker of a song, reminds me of various ‘joke’ songs from the naughties, such as ‘Russel Crowe’s Band’ by Frenzal Rhomb and ‘The Bold And The Beautiful’ by The Drugs. It was good to see it up in the Top Five.

Ooh, placed another one, at number 5: https://youtu.be/rK5TyISxZ_M #Raye #TripleJ #Hottest100

Black Swan / Darren Aronofsky... placed my second song, at number 12. https://youtu.be/08C987fQEKU #TripleJ #Hottest100 #FredAgain #Skepta #PlaqueBoyMax

Here's my middle-aged Hottest 100 take: The same 4 artists over and over again and all the Ninajirachi tracks should have been higher #TripleJ #Hottest100 #ninajirachi

Just voted for the australian hottest 100, here are my picks

Triple J Hottest 100 for 2025
No particular order, but "Drenched" and the "Ashes to Ashes" cover would be at the top.

#AusMusic #TripleJ #Hottest100

My votes for the famous annual Australian music countdown, the #TripleJ #Hottest100 for 2025:

For the first time since I moved to Australia and started voting the kids are grown up & independent enough to want to cast their own votes, so I have no one to blame for the choices in this list but myself...

For those who felt that youth radio station #TripleJ 's #Hottest100 of Australian songs vote was taken over by millennials, they've released the top 20 as voted by 18-29 year olds and it's not very different, although Untouched does climb to number 1: https://themusic.com.au/news/triple-j-hottest-100-of-australian-songs-if-no-one-over-30-voted/QiX4VFdWWVg/03-09-25

📻 Double J's Hottest 200 Australian songs filled in some gaps in the Hottest 100. Classic songs by The Saints, Warumpi Band and The Triffids made the longer list. The Cruel Sea, Jebediah, Something for Kate and the Hoodoo Gurus were also in there

Some notable absentees were Magic Dirt, Camp Cope and Courtney Barnett

#triplej #hottest100 #Australia #doublej #music

Final positions after #Hottest200 on #DoubleJ. Still can't believe "Long Way to the Top" didn't make it.😠

Obviously, "Thunderstruck"(13), "Highway to Hell"(31) and "Back in Black"(37) are great songs.

#AusMusic #TripleJ #Hottest100

Monday after #Hottest100, which of course means re-listening to the countdown! Thanks #JJJ for having the broadcast recorded and repeatable 💚

📻 a few thoughts on triple j's hottest 100

Spiderbait had two songs on the list: Calypso & Black Betty. However, their song Buy Me a Pony wasn't in the list. It was the first Australian song to top the hottest 100 back in 1996

Courtney Barnett, Something for Kate and the Warumpi Band were some of the notable absentees from the list

Double J will play the songs voted from 101-200 during the week. This will fill in some gaps and reveal some more trends

As some who was born in Sydney and grew up listening to the J's (#doublej & then #triplej), I need put this on the #ausMusic record, as much it pains me:

TripleJ did _not_ invent the #Hottest100

They nicked it from 4ZZZ who started it in 1977 & run the countdown on New Years Day.

TUNE. #NicheToot #hottest100

I like The Veronicas but... Number 3? Really? #triplej #hottest100 #hottest100ofaustralia #Untouched

📻 Listening to triple j's hottest 100 Australian songs. So far it's a mix of classic tunes that I expected and more recent songs that I have never even heard of.

#triplej #doublej #hottest100 #Australia #music

#TripleJ are playing songs 200-101 of their #Hottest100 countdown now, and another one of our votes has turned up at 184 (fun video too) https://youtu.be/sYySr4E7kLg #StandAtlantic #Polaris

#GFlip taking over the #TripleJ #Hottest100 with 5 songs so far and I'm here for it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5xxdwEaI40 #TripleJHottest100

And we also voted for number 1! Guitars 'n' drums soft rock is hardly my usual genre of choice, but #DMAs do such an elegant, natural job of #Cher 's Believe that you'd swear it was one of their songs, and Cher did the cheeky dance remix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmwFnoMoDDg #TripleJ #Hottest100 #TripleJHottest100 #LikeAVersion

Our fifth vote came in at number 2: #DenzelCurry leaps outside his usual sound to rock out a #RATM song as hard as possible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY4ywyFXdik #TripleJ #Hottest100 #TripleJHottest100 #LikeAVersion

Shout out to Tones And I's cover of Gang of Youths' Achilles Come Down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyGp5IQg-jY&pp=ygUadG9uZXMgYW5kIGkgbGlrZSBhIHZlcnNpb24%3D Didn't make the top 100 but hey, it must have been #101

And here we are: Dumb Things at #5 with AB Original and the man himself, Paul Kelly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICcewg7fxho That's now five out of my ten picks - not bad!

And my fourth pick in at #6: Gang of Youth's covering The Middle East's Blood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLTO3U5644A&pp=ygUUYmxvb2QgZ2FuZyBvZiB5b3V0aHM%3D Love the strings in this one.

Another new one for me at #16: Flume covering Bag Raiders Shooting Stars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLcXIrTwPUM This one's laugh out loud funny - well worth a watch and listen 😂

This one's a new one for me: The Herd covered Redgum's I Was Only 19. Wow. They say it's a cliche to say that a Hottest 100 gave you goosebumps, but this one did it for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yfuR5b-hBo

It's the #triplej #hottest100 in #Australia this weekend which is an amazing celebration of music (the world's biggest musical democracy!) but in recent years I've personally been captivated by the retro 100 countdown, where they replay the list from 20 years ago on their sister radio station #DoubleJ the day after the main event.

I won't spoil the #2002 winners (you can easily look it up online) but it was definitely the year of Dave Grohl, getting 10 entries between #QueensOfTheStoneAge, #FooFighters and #Nirvana.

Aside from that, it was a fairly eclectic year of music. The top 10 was mostly rock but there was some hip-hop and rap in there, and a fair bit of #house, #dance and #techno further down the list.

A lot of people remember those landmark years where Powderfinger, Gotye or Kings of Leon won but this year looks like it's got a heap of underrated tracks instead. It all starts Sunday 10am local time (in Australia) on Double J and I can't wait!
