As triple j get ready to hold their annual Hottest 100 celebrations on Saturday, January 22nd, they’re doing things a little bit differently this year, kicking off the festivities with their list of the tracks that almost made it.
Having revealed the 100 songs that didn’t quite make the top tonne since 2008, it’s only been since the 2012 countdown that triple j have been playing the top 200 for your listening pleasure. For close to a decade, the station have assuaged all cries of “But what about…?” by sharing the second 100 on the days following the countdown.
This time around though, they’re mixing it all up, kicking off with the Hottest 200 before following on with the Hottest 100 the next day.
Not only does it make a bit of chronological sense, but it’ll make it all the more exciting as the numbers slowly dwindle and we begin to wonder just where our favourite songs ended up. Or in many cases, we’ll hear out favourites fill out the #191-200 spots and we’ll realise the rest of the poll will be nothing but surprises.
In recent weeks, we’ve seen some of the names who are tipped to likely storm the top ten, make Hottest 100 history, or receive some well-deserved glory. But now, it’s time to find out just who exactly has some of the hottest songs in Australia this year.
Follow along with Rolling Stone Australia from 10am AEDT today as provide live updates on all the placings in triple j’s Hottest 200 countdown of 2022.
