The Triple J Hottest 100 is an annual music listener poll hosted by the government-funded, national Australian radio station, Triple J. The public is invited to vote for their favourite Australian and alternative music of the year, in an online poll conducted two weeks prior to the new year. Since its inception in 1989, the 100 most popular songs were counted down from 12pm on Australia Day. From 2018 however, the countdown has been held on the fourth weekend of January due to ongoing debate about the meaning of the date of Australia Day to Indigenous Australians. On the day after the Hottest 100, Triple J plays the Hottest 200 from 10am.
