The Hottest 200 of Australian Songs is coming to Double J
The Hottest 100 of Australian Songs has been an amazing celebration of the music that has been important to the people of our nation. Look, we know making that list of 10 songs was hard. But hopefully it feels worth it now. We know that some of your favourite songs didn't make it, even though they really, really should have. And we know you want to know which songs just missed out on the countdown. So, all week on Double J we will count down the songs that made it to 200-101 in the official vote count. Every morning with Michael Hing, and every afternoon with Dylan Lewis, we'll count down 10 songs that didn't quite squeeze into the main list. If the Hottest 100 is anything to go by, it's going to be another amazing list of songs. If that doesn't work for you, or you just feel like throwing another party, we'll play the full list of 200-101 on Double J next Saturday 2 August. Tune into Mornings with Michael Hing and Arvos with Dylan Lewis on Double J from Monday to hear the Hottest 200 of Australian songs all week.

Hottest 100 of Australian songs — when it happens, how to listen and more
The Australian music-loving public was put to the ultimate test in recent weeks when the teams at triple j and Double J asked us to vote in the Hottest 100 of Australian Songs. In typical Hottest 100 fashion, people were given the chance to vote for their 10 favourite songs, this time from the history of Australian music. Getting that list down to 10 is a tough task when you only have a year's worth of music to choose from. When voting for songs from the entire history of Australian music, it felt impossible. This Saturday, we learn which locally made songs Australians love the most. Here's everything you need to know about the countdown. Make sure to join us here on the ABC News site as we take you through every moment in our live blog from 9:30am AEST. Things kick off a little earlier than usual for this Hottest 100: coverage starts at 10am Australian Eastern Standard Time, and you'll hear number 100 play out not long after that. Of course, not everyone lives in the same time zone, so here's what time to tune in around the country. ACT: 10am New South Wales: 10am Northern Territory: 9:30am Queensland: 10am South Australia: 9:30am Tasmania: 10am Western Australia: 8am If you're overseas, click here to find out what time it starts in your part of the world. Now there's one question we can't answer, because we don't know how long the songs will be or how much our esteemed announcers will rave about the tunes played. Put it this way: if you count each song as being roughly 4 minutes long and make some time for the announcers to talk about the songs, interview some artists and chat with music lovers around the country enjoying the countdown, you quickly get to around 10 hours. So, we reckon you'd be safe to assume the number one song will land somewhere around the 8pm mark. Don't hold us to that. Stay tuned early! This countdown will be streamed right across the triple j network, meaning you can tune in on triple j, Double J, triple j Unearthed or triple j Hottest. If you need the radio frequency for triple j in your area, you can find it right here. Otherwise, you can listen online, on the ABC listen app, the triple j app, on your TV, or you could always crash a party and listen to it there. Of course. And while there's nothing stopping you pulling out the cheese and kabana and throwing your own, there is a stack of venues around the country willing to do the dirty work for you. You can find a comprehensive list of Hottest 100 parties happening around the country right here. An esteemed bunch of announcers from across the triple j and Double J families will take you through the countdown on Saturday. Here's a rundown on who you can hear and when. 100–81: Ash McGregor and Dave Woodhead 80–61: Dylan Lewis and Yumi Stynes 60–41: Abby Butler and Tyrone Pynor 40–21: Concetta Caristo and Luka Muller 20–1: Zan Rowe and Lucy Smith Sorry to say, you're already too late. Voting closed last week and the teams at triple j and Double J have been busy crunching numbers ever since. It's not too early to start thinking about how you might vote in the Hottest 100 for this year, though. Keep a running list of your favourite songs of the year and keep your ears on triple j (or eyes on their socials) to find out when voting opens. Heaps! Hundreds of thousands of people voted (as you probably noticed on social media over the past few weeks) and the final tally of votes is a whopping 2,655,826. That means whoever makes it into this Hottest 100 has commanded a serious number of votes, no matter where they place. No idea! But if you want to get a sense for some songs that might make it into the countdown, a bunch of Australian artists and entertainers have revealed their top 10s as part of the Hottest Seat program. If Prime Minister Anthony Albanese gets his way, the winner will be one of these. While triple j usually plays out the 200–101 songs in the annual Hottest 100 the day after the countdown, that's not happening for this one. No information has been released about how we can see the list of songs that just missed out on the countdown at this point. If there are plans afoot, we expect you'll hear about them on the broadcast or on the triple j socials after the countdown. The Hottest 100 of Australian Songs happens from 10am AEST on Saturday 26 July.
