The songs that receive the most airplay on Triple J often perform well on the Triple J Hottest 100.
As many international artists have been heavily rotated, it wouldn’t be a shock if an overseas artist reaches the top spot of the much-loved chart.
For example, “Azizam” by British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is one of the most played songs of the year to date.
Also, New Zealander Lorde’s hit song “What Was That” is a huge hit, and Thai rapper LISA’s track “BORN Again” featuring Doja Cat and Raye could claim the number one spot.
A Popular Australian Act Could Win
While the odds are in favor of an international act winning the Triple J Hottest 100 in 2025, some Australian artists and groups could secure the top spot.
For instance, Aussie rock band Spacey Jane has a strong chance at number one, as their brand-new album If That Makes Sense reached number two in the Australian Album (ARIA) chart.
Also, the “Like a Version” covers typically perform well in the Triple J Hottest 100, meaning it only takes one fantastic cover from an Australian act to top the chart in January 2026.
Jimmy Barnes shouldn’t be overlooked, either, as the Aussie rock legend secured his sixteenth number-one album in 2025, as DEFIANT recently shot to number one. As a result, one of his releases could win the Triple J Hottest 100 this year.
When is the Triple J Hottest 100 Announcement?
The Triple J Hottest 100 for 2025 is likely to be announced in January 2026. It is often held at the start of a brand-new year to celebrate the biggest and best songs of the previous year, and it’s a much-loved event for Australians everywhere.
Based on recent patterns, the official announcement is likely to be made on the fourth Saturday of January. While it used to be held on Australia Day, the chart announcement was pushed back due to controversy surrounding the national day.
