Over 2.4 million votes were counted in this year’s countdown. 23 artists debuted in the list.
For the second time in his career, Flume has topped the countdown, in 2016 he scored #1 with Never Be Like You ft. Kai. Not only has he clocked an impressive 17 total tracks in triple j’s Hottest 100 since his 2012 debut, he’s also the only act in the countdown’s history to rank a song in every position of the Top 5.
triple j’s music director Nick Findlay says: “’Say Nothing’ has been a force to be reckoned with ever since its worldwide first play on triple j Breakfast in February 2022. Flume’s disjointed percussion and hypnotic melodies, wrapped up in MAY-A’s enchanting vocals, had all the ingredients of an instant classic. Congratulations to Flume and MAY-A for an incredibly well-deserved win!”
Hilltop Hoods have made history with the most countdown entries ever, and there has been 10 songs from First Nations artists, smashing the previous record of 6 songs.
The party isn’t over yet on triple j. The Hottest 100 of 2002 began on Double J from 10am local time, Sunday 29, January.
