The hit song has gone double platinum in Australia, selling an incredible 140,000 units, proving its popularity with the public. Not to mention, it has earned an astounding 193 million streams worldwide.
As Triple J typically attracts young listeners, many might vote in his favor, as he rose to fame for his music on TikTok.
Due to the song’s popularity with Triple J’s audience, it is likely to receive continued airplay throughout the year, boosting its chances of topping the countdown in January 2026.
He May Face Tough Competition from Rosé and Bruno Mars
Alex Warren may have topped the ARIA chart more times than any other artist in 2025, but he faces tough competition from Rosé and Bruno Mars’s song “Apt.”
After all, it spent seven non-consecutive weeks at number one on the ARIA Singles Chart in 2025.
It has since gone eight times platinum in Australia, selling 560,000 units. Plus, the song has generated an incredible 1 billion streams globally since its October 2024 release.
Many Aussies might be tempted to vote in the duo’s favor, as Rosé was born in New Zealand but grew up in Melbourne, Australia.
As a result, they might choose a track from a local instead of American singer-songwriter, Alex Warren.
Plus, Bruno Mars is arguably one of the biggest pop, R&B, and funk artists in the world, meaning he likely has an army of fans willing to vote for the popular song this year.
For the above reasons, it wouldn’t be a shock if “Apt” by Rosé and Bruno Mars was named the number one song on the Triple J Hottest 100 for 2025.
Another Artist Could Reach Number One
Despite strong sales throughout the year, there is no guarantee that Alex Warren or Rosé and Bruno Mars will claim the number one position on the Triple J Hottest 100 for 2025.
After all, many artists have enjoyed chart success this year, such as US rapper Kendrick Lamar with “Not Like Us,” which spent two weeks at number one.
Plus, English singer Lola Young enjoyed two weeks at the top spot in February 2025, and American rapper and singer Doechii claimed number one for one week with her song “Anxiety” in March 2025.
Yet, the top spot could go to an Australian artist who has enjoyed recent chart success, such as Spacey Jane, INXS, John Farnham, Kylie Minogue, or AC/DC.
