Triple J’s Hottest 100, 2010!

2010 was a brilliant music year. And so far, it looks like 2011 will be one too.

The Triple J Hottest 100 is an annual music poll, based on the votes of national Australian radio station Triple J listeners, in order to determine their favourite song of the year. Voting is conducted by the internet and begins roughly 2 weeks prior to the new year for the previous year’s songs. The 100 most popular songs are then counted down on Australia Day weekend – usually Australia Day itself.

“This year an incredible 155,222 voters from 152 countries registered 1.26 million votes in triple j’s annual survey to find the hottest songs of 2010. Add to that 3,526 Hottest 100 parties held by listeners across Australia and internationally – making 2010’s poll our biggest yet. triple j’s Hottest 100 truly is the world’s biggest musical democracy.”
