triple j Announces ‘Hottest 100 Of Australian Songs' For 50th Anniversary
triple j have revealed plans for a special-event Hottest 100, in which they plan to count down the Hottest 100 Of Australian Songs for the very first time – as voted by the station's listeners. The announcement comes as the youth broadcaster is celebrating its 50th year on air, having originally been launched as the Sydney-only station 2JJ back in January of 1975. The countdown is set to take place on Saturday, July 26th from 10am AEST, and will be simulcast on both triple and Double J. 'It's a big year for the triple j family, so what better way to toast our deep history than by doing our favourite thing: wringing our hands over trying to pick only 10 of our favourite songs released by Australian artists and bands,' the station shared in a statement. 'Nah, it'll be a breeze, right?' Any song released before January 19th, 2025 – triple j's 50th birthday – is eligible. The station has clarified, however, that Like A Versions performed by Australian artists are ineligible, as are songs where more than 50% of the featured artists are Australian. The station noted Mullumbimby native Iggy Azalea's 2014 chart-topper 'Fancy' (featuring the English Charli XCX) would be eligible, for instance, but 'Lose Control' by Young Franco (featuring US acts Earthgang and Jafunk) would not. The Hottest 100 Of Australian Songs will mark the 42nd Hottest 100 overall, as well as the 10th countdown to not focus on the year of music just passed. It follows on from 2023's Like A Version Hottest 100, which was conducted to celebrate 20 years of the station's flagship segment. The Hottest 100 of 2024 took place in January, and was topped by Chappell Roan's 'Good Luck, Babe!'. Voting is officially open for the Hottest 100 Of Australian Songs, and can be voted for here. Voting closes on Thursday, July 17th at 5pm AEST. triple j's Hottest 100 of Like A Version: 100-1 All The Trivia, Facts, And Broken Records Of Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2022 Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers Team Up with triple j's Concetta Caristo on 'The Song I Wrote When I Was 11' The post triple j Announces 'Hottest 100 Of Australian Songs' For 50th Anniversary appeared first on Music Feeds.
