The Triple J Hottest 100 of the 2010s was held on the 14 March 2020. It is a countdown of the most popular songs of the 2010s as chosen by listeners of Australian radio station triple j. 1.8 million votes were cast by listeners choosing their top ten songs of the decade. [1]
Tame Impala's "The Less I Know the Better" was voted into first place.
The triple j Hottest 100 of the 2010s allowed members of the public to vote online for their top ten songs of the decade, which were then used to calculate the decade's 100 most popular songs. Any song initially released between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019 was eligible for the decade's Hottest 100.
On 23 January 2020, triple j first announced that a 2010s countdown would take place. Voting opened on 11 February 2020, [2] [3] and closed on 9 March 2020. Between 10 and 13 March, triple j presenters Lucy Smith, Lewis Hobba, and Michael Hing progressively announced the songs that ranked between #200 and #101 in the countdown. [4] Voting in recent countdowns has been restricted to the preceding year. There have been some exceptions, namely the Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time in 2011, and the Hottest 100 of the Past 20 Years in 2013. This is the first countdown that charts the best songs of a decade.
Based on media reports following the announcement of the existence of the countdown, some of the most frequently mentioned contenders are Frank Ocean, Lorde, Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar, Flume, and Beyoncé. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Once voting closed, bookmakers' three most likely songs to take #1 were Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" (featuring Kimbra), Arctic Monkeys' "Do I Wanna Know?" and Rüfüs' "Innerbloom", both behind Gotye.

The Triple J Hottest 100 is an annual music listener poll hosted by the publicly funded national Australian youth radio station Triple J. Members of the public are 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.
Like a Version is a weekly segment on Australian youth radio station triple j. It involves Australian and international artists playing two songs live in the triple j studio, one of their own songs and then a cover version, hence the name of the segment. The title is wordplay on the Madonna song "Like a Virgin".
The 2008 Triple J Hottest 100 was announced on Australia Day, 26 January 2009. It was the sixteenth countdown of the most popular songs of the year, as chosen by the listeners of Australian radio station, Triple J.
The Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time was a music poll conducted in 2009 amongst listeners of Australian youth radio network Triple J. Over half a million votes were compiled, with Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" collecting the highest number of votes. Voters could submit a list of up to ten different songs as well as nominating one of these as their "all-time" favourite song. It was the fifth such poll organised by Triple J, following similar polls in 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1998. Initially, all songs were eligible for the annual Triple J Hottest 100. However, from 1993 onward, only songs released in the previous year were permitted. Thus, the Hottest 100 of All Time is conducted via a separate vote, held irregularly to reflect listeners' favourite songs across all eras. The 2009 list was designed to reflect the twentieth anniversary of the Hottest 100's inception. The Triple J Hottest 100 of all time was broadcast over two nights on ABC TV's music show Rage. However, certain songs were omitted from the broadcast because they were never made into music videos.
