Get ready, music fans – triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2024 kicks off this Saturday at midday AEDT, and it’s shaping up to be one for the record books. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:
• Record-breaking votes: Every song in this year’s top four received enough votes to have won last year’s countdown.
• May dominates: Tracks released in May top the charts, with more entries than any other month.
• A bit cheeky: Seven songs in the countdown feature the infamous c-bomb – talk about edgy tunes!
• Two records to fall: Keep an ear out as two massive Hottest 100 milestones are smashed.
• Doing good: Over $160,000 has already been raised for We Are Mobilise, providing 3500+ nights of housing for those in need.
A weekend of music
The countdown may be the highlight, but the Hottest 100 weekend has more in store. Today, Double J rewinds to the Hottest 100 of 2004 (think Missy Higgins, Scissor Sisters, John Butler Trio, and The Killers) from 12pm local time. On Monday, tune in from 10am for the Hottest 200-101, featuring the tracks that just missed the cut.
Helping those in need
This year’s countdown partners with We Are Mobilise, tackling homelessness through innovative solutions. Over $160,000 has already been raised, but there’s still time to contribute. Buy a $45 t-shirt to fund a night of housing or donate directly- every dollar helps.
