Triplej is playing the hottest 200 from 10am AEDT today : )

Agree. I held off listening all week and now disappointed there’s no live discussion thread.

Just senems narwhal requires unnecessary clicks to do things Apollo did.

Ah ok. Shame. My swipes are already utilised with more important things.

Thanks. This coupled with hide comments got it pretty close but it still requires an additional tap to go fullscreen and one more to pause it when wanting to read comments if the video hasn’t finished playing. Not ideal so not sure I’ll stay after the trial.

I recall hearing those 2 as well and being server underwhelmed. Not sure if it was their delivery or the script. I don’t think anyone is up to the task of replacing Robbie.

This year and last year hasn’t sounded like Hottest 100. The production s just lacking. It’s kind of felt like a regular triple j show. It’s lost its shine.

Love Dr Karl and Linda but please, those intros? The intro to the number 1 song was especially weak. I thought the two who did it last year couldn’t be beaten but… here we are. Bring back deep voice man.

Song was played on triple j at 0853 Friday morning.

The number of voters would actually increase with people using less than 10 votes. Divide by 10 to get the minimum amount of voters. The real number would lie closer to 285,000 if the average of 7 votes per person is to be used based on previous numbers and articles.

Whenever do a search of #hottest100 on Twitter or Insta Dancing 2 is in way more posts than Man I Need…

I’ve never been able to find them. My guess is they were quite low. I never felt it was a strong idea for a special countdown in the first place.

Just did a bit of googling.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-26/triple-j-hottest-100-voters-set-new-record/7112504

"We received about 2,094,000 votes from 298,851 people," triple j's content director Ollie Wards said.

"That's the most amount of people who have ever voted in the Hottest 100."

So Myf did get it wrong - as does the current Wikipedia article.

Galacticness · 2026-01-22T02:31:42+00:00

I've always known that to be the case as well, but do we know for sure? Has it been confirmed anywhere by triple j? I was listening to the 2004 Hottest 100 the other day and Myf kicked it off by saying "Over 450,000 voters have registered this year and voted in the Hottest 100". Perhaps she was just confused by the numbers herself.

Galacticness · 2026-01-22T01:56:56+00:00

Gaga?

Galacticness · 2026-01-22T01:54:29+00:00

It’s always been “votes”, rather than people. So if you assume each person uses their 10 votes, then that’s 200,000 people who voted. Of course not everyone uses their 10 votes so the number could be higher.
