The 2024 Triple J Hottest 100 will be broadcast on 25 January 2025. It will be the 32nd annual countdown of the most popular songs of the year, as voted by listeners of Australian youth radio station Triple J. Two days later, on 27 January, the station will announce the Hottest 200, counting down songs 200–101. Merchandise sales from the event will support homelessness charity We Are Mobilise.[1]
Background
[edit]The 2023 Triple J Hottest 100 culminated with "Paint the Town Red" by Doja Cat taking out the number one position. Meanwhile, Australian multi-instrumentalist G Flip secured seven tracks in the countdown, including number two with "The Worst Person Alive", setting the all-time record for most entries in a single Hottest 100.[2]
For songs to be eligible in the 2024 countdown, they must have been released between 1 December 2023 and 30 November 2024. Voting began on 10 December 2024, and will end on 20 January 2025. Listeners can vote for up to ten songs.[3] The official artwork for the 2024 countdown was created by West Sydney 3D artist Serwah Attafuah, who was influenced by Renaissance and Afrofuturist stylings.[4]
Predictions
[edit]In November 2024, Australian online bookmaker Sportsbet was favouring five key songs, with the lowest odds for "Good Luck, Babe!" by Chappell Roan and "Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish– both artists from the United States.[5] Meanwhile, men's magazine GQ predicted that "Not Like Us" by American rapper Kendrick Lamar would take out the number one position.[6] Other frontrunners have included Royel Otis' Like a Version cover of "Murder on the Dancefloor" and Charli XCX's "Guess".[7] In articles written before the countdown, some music journalists wrote of their concern over the possible lack of Australian music at the top of the countdown,[8][9] when "One Bad Day" by Spacey Jane was projected to be the only original Australian song in the top 10.[9] On 9 January 2025, Triple J announced that two songs in the top five were separated by only 0.05% of the total votes.[10]
