The 2024 Hottest Weekend will kick off on triple j on Friday, 24 January, from 12pm local time, with a pre-party warm-up on Double J featuring the Hottest 100 of 2004.
On Saturday 25 January, it’s time for the main event, the huge nationwide party, and the countdown of your favourite songs of the year – triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2024, live from 12pm AEDT. Then, on Monday 27 January from 10am Local Time, listen in to hear the tracks that just missed the final cut as the station play out triple j’s Hottest 200 (200-101) of 2024. All dates are listed below.
Last year’s countdown really turned it on, featuring 2.35 million votes, 35 Hottest 100 debuts and five tracks that first dropped on triple j Unearthed. It was a year of breaking records and making history: Doja Cat claimed #1, becoming the first woman of colour and female rapper to do so.
G Flip set a new record with seven entries in the top 100, Kylie Minogue marked a mammoth return with the longest gap between entries (29 years), and Hilltop Hoods further cemented their Hottest 100 legacy, extending their record for the most entries across countdowns (24 songs).
triple j is also teaming up with We Are Mobilise as this year’s charity partner. Best known for their work alongside endurance-running legend Nedd Brockman, Mobilise exist to unite Australia in ending homelessness, and triple j is linking up with them to help develop innovative ways to tackle the issue.
