Last week we let slip that less than 350 votes separated the #1 and #2 songs in the 2020 Hottest 100 just days before voting closed. Since then, the Hottest 100 tally room has been in overdrive, crunching the numbers to reveal all the juicy stats about this year’s Hottest 100, what it means for the year in music and trends going forward.
So pop on your trivia hats as we reveal some clues about the songs which make up the 2020 Hottest 100…
– 66 songs are from local heroes, which ties with 2016 as the most Australian entries in a countdown
– The hottest month with the most amount of entries was January, before COVID really hit hard
– There are 26 artists making their Hottest 100 debut this year
– Language warning! Expect 61 F-bombs across 19 songs during the countdown
– Two artists are set to make their 7th consecutive Hottest 100 countdown, with six others celebrating their 4th consecutive run
– Three artists land back-to-back songs in this year’s Hottest 100
Reckon you can pick some entrants off the back of those tips? There’s only one way to know for sure, by tuning into the 2020 Hottest 100 from Midday AEDT Sat 23 Jan!
Find out how to listen here, including via your FM radio, digital radio, stream on the triple j website, on mobile via the triple j app (downloadable on iPhone or Android), on social media via Facebook, Instagram,Twitter and on TikTok.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
