editThe 2022 Triple J Hottest 100 culminated with "Say Nothing" by Australian musicians Flume and May-a reaching number one.[2] Meanwhile, Spacey Jane had the most songs in the countdown with six, including a record-breaking three in the top six.[3]
Any songs released between 1 December 2022 and 30 November 2023 are eligible for the 2023 Hottest 100. Listeners can vote for up to ten songs via the Triple J website.[4] Voting opened on 12 December 2023, and closed on 22 January 2024.[5]
Projections
editVarious publications reported on the findings of Hottest 100 prediction website 100 Warm Tunas, which has predicted the countdown's number one song with 67% accuracy since 2016.[6] On 9 January 2024, it predicted the winner would be "Not Strong Enough" by American indie group Boygenius, which placed at number 30. Other strong contenders were "Rush" by Australian singer Troye Sivan (placed at number 8), "Rumble" by American producer Skrillex and British producers Fred Again and Flowdan (placed at number 12), "Leaving the Light" by Ghanaian-Australian singer Genesis Owusu (placed at number 69), and "What Was I Made For?" by American singer Billie Eilish (placed at number 7).[6][7] Meanwhile, men's magazine GQ published its list of predictions, with "Paint the Town Red" by American singer Doja Cat at number one (which topped the countdown), followed by "Rhyme Dust" by producers MK and Dom Dolla (placed at number 4).[8]
On 11 January 2024, Triple J announced that there was just one vote splitting two tracks in the top five, and that a musician who debuted in the 2022 countdown was projected with three tracks in the 2023 countdown.[9]
