Triple J Hottest 100, 2025

The 2025 Triple J Hottest 100 was broadcast on 24 January 2026. It was the 33rd annual countdown of the most popular songs of the year, as voted by listeners of Australian youth radio station Triple J. Throughout the following week, the station announced the Hottest 200, counting down songs 200–101 from 27 January through to 31 January 2026. Merchandise sales from the event will support homelessness charity We Are Mobilise.
English singer Olivia Dean's song "Man I Need" was voted in at number one, and Dean tied with Australian band Spacey Jane for the most entries in the countdown, with five each. Dean became the third consecutive female solo artist to win the countdown after Chappell Roan and Doja Cat topped the countdown in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Background

Previously, the 2024 Hottest 100 featured just 29 Australian songs, the lowest representation for Australian music since the 1996 poll.

Voting

Online voting opened on 8 December 2025, and closed on 15 January 2026. Individuals could vote for up to 10 songs released between 1 December 2024 and 30 November 2025. A maximum of five songs per artist were included in the voting list.

Eligibility

On 8 December 2025, Triple J announced the following criteria for songs to be eligible for the Hottest 100:

Each song must have had its initial release between 1 December 2024 and 30 November 2025;
Covers, live recordings of previously unreleased songs and remixes are eligible;
If a song has been significantly reworked after its initial release, the reworked song is eligible;
Live versions of songs by an act are not eligible.

Votes generated as part of a competition promoting a song and/or artist would not be counted. Campaigns that would "undermine the Hottest 100" may result in that song and/or artist being disqualified from the countdown.

Projections

In December 2025, Australian online bookmaker Sportsbet favoured "Man I Need" by British artist Olivia Dean, followed by "iPod Touch" by 2025 J Award winner Ninajirachi, "Dancing2" by Keli Holiday and "Keith" by Playlunch. All artists except Keli Holiday had not previously appeared in the Hottest 100, with Holiday's appearances occurring through Peking Duk. On 22 January 2026, Guardian Australia declared "Man I Need" to be the clear favourite to win the countdown.
