Voting Closes This Week for Triple J's Hottest 100
With only four days left to vote in the Hottest 100, triple j has shared some sneak peeks into this year's race.
Four days out from voting closing, triple j has dropped a sneak peek at the Hottest 100 standings, and its tighter than anyone expected.
As the current votes stand, one artist has a back-to-back entry, four places are locked in a tie, and 20 songs are separated by 10 or less votes - with the current No. 97, 98, and 99 all separated by just one vote.
The clock is ticking! Voting closes at 5pm (AEDT) on Thursday, January 15th.
The official Hottest 100 countdown will take place nationally on Saturday, January 24th, 2026, kicking off at 12pm (AEDT). Then on Sunday, January 25th, Double J will travel back twenty years, reliving the Hottest 100 of 2005.
In the days following – Tuesday, January 27th to Friday, January 30th – triple j’s Hottest 200 of 2025 will play, with 20 songs a day from 8am-4pm. Then, on Saturday, January 31st, triple j”s Hottest 200 of 2025 will play in full, from 10am (local).

For the second-year running, triple j is teaming up with We Are Mobilise, the charity best known for its impactful and innovative work tackling homelessness.
Last year, the funds raised from the Hottest 100 enabled We Are Mobilise to expand their network to every state in Australia and resulted in 7000 nights (or around 20 years) of housing provided to those in need. Head here to donate and buy this year’s Hottest 100 T-Shirt.
