Triple J Hottest 100 2025 (Plus 200-101 and 2005 Throwback)

[RedmanWasHere]

Start your engines.

We'll be driving in December on our way to the next hottest 100.

Who's in pole position here?

How many spots will be used by those on TikTok?

We ready to launch the chatter.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Always hard to say until mid November. Need to see which tracks stick around.

 

[Perko16]

With most tracks that will fill the countdown now released can see the top 20 looking something like this (maybe):


1. Olivia Dean - Man I Need

2. Keli Holiday - Dancing2

3. Dom Dolla - Dreaming

Spacey Jane - Whateverrrr

Olivia Dean - Nice too each other

Lorde - What was that

Sombr - 12:12

doechii - Anxiety

Addison Rae - Fame is a Gun

Fred again.. - your a star / Victory Lap

Tame Impala - Dracula

Chappell Roan - The Subway

Ball Park Music - Please Don’t Move To Melbourne

Olivia Dean - So Easy (To Fall In Love)

Tate McRae - Just Keep Watching / Sports Car

Sombr - Undressed

G Flip - In Another / Disco..

Raye - WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!

Tobiahs - Angel Of Mine



♾

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Infohazard would surely get in.


Perhaps Britney in ‘03 or whatever the Confidence Man song is that Jade Thirlwall collaborated on.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Voting is open.

 

[Loonerty]

Working through my final 25 songs to cull now. I know a few of them aren't on the shortlist though...

 

[JT_the_Man]

I probably should've just done it quickly, cause I got a 10 I was pretty happy with then looked at the voting list again and now have problems cutting.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

As usual, I'm gonna listen to almost all of the samples and make a long shortlist then cut it down further.

The usual suspects like Kanye, Kendrick and similar rap types I avoid.

I built a prediction model to try and get a rough idea of H100 that updated as the year went on.
This is how it turned out (purely from numbers with no of my own opinions inputted).

I think it's done a pretty good job, that top 10 wouldn't be overly surprising to me. At the same time there are some obvious outliers that I imagine perform a lot better than the model predicts.
