Hottest 100 History
triple j's hottest 100 is one of the largest public music polls in the world with millions of individual votes counted since it's inception in 1989.
Originally listeners were asked to compile a list of their favourite songs of all time and mail them to triple j. Diligent triple j staffers then tallied these votes by hand! Today things have been greatly simplified behind the scenes, with all voting cast online.
Joy Division topped the first hottest 100 with the classic ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’. The seminal British band stayed on top for successive years until a band called Nirvana released a little tune by the name of ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’ in '91.
The focus of the hottest 100 changed after these early years limiting the voting selection to songs released in the previous 12 months. Since the change, Australian artists have featured prominently with Spiderbait, The Whitlams, Powderfinger,Alex Lloyd and Jet all having taken the coveted number one position.
