Talk:Triple J Hottest 100

message: What would you guys think about creating Hottest 100 by Year articles? Ambi 05:32, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: An excellent idea.  I hadn't done them yet for fear of being instantly VFDed.  (Well, that, and the usual "laziness" :) ) -- Chuq 07:43, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It'd be nice if someone a little better at formatting than I could set up the page so that the links wouldn't be so obscure (I could pipe-link the years where they are now, but no one would probably notice they were seperate pages). If someone can do that, I'll get to creating individual pages. Ambi 08:30, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, so I was bored - 2003 Triple J Hottest 100. Thoughts? It's also an orphan, so if someone could fix this page up and all, that would be cool. Ambi 10:33, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: So far as name goes - what do you think of Triple J Hottest 100, 2003, instead? -- Chuq 10:38, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine with me. Shall I move it? (and is that format okay, as far as creating others go?) Ambi 10:47, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I've added a see also section with a link to KROQ Top 106.7 Countdowns, as it's an interesting comparison to the hottest 100 - the two radio stations are similarly influential, have similar playlists and target audiences, and these seem to be the only articles on 'listener-voted' countdowns in WP.

message: I've given this article a high importance rating because the hottest 100 usually coincides with Australia day. Listening to it, having a barbie and playing some backyard cricket has become a national rite of passage for the younger generation. There are often numerous international events based around the hottest 100. As such I think that the hottest 100 is internationally recognisable as an important part of Australian culture. --Spuzzdawg (talk) 04:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Could we put the table in reverse chronological order (newest first)?  That seems like it would be more useful to me, but I'm open to being overruled. --Irrevenant [ talk ] 07:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Table -> Reverse Chronological order? 

message: The 1991 Triple J list states that The Cure had 9 titles in the list, a record which still stands today. However, the 2006 & 2007 lists state that Wolfmother holds the record for the most titles. Can anybody explain to me?
: The first three polls aren't usually counted as they were made before they were limited to songs from that year.  Wolfmother holds the record for the most songs from one year in a poll. 121.222.247.191 (talk) 11:31, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most titles in a list 

message: The hottest 100 in 1992 was a competition to enter your own hottest 100 list and the winner presented their selections as guest programmer on rage. The winner was Natasha Schaade. She was a big Cure fan and Nirvana did not feature. Great list otherwise. Twoshabby (talk) 05:10, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was always under the impression that the 1992 countdown was just the 101-200 continuation of the 1991 countdown. Which, when you look at the 1989 and 1990 countdowns, makes sense. For example, a song which was number #90 in 89 might have been #99 in 1990 and then found it's way into the 1992 countdown.
I've done a lot of research on it, and that's the only info I can find.
The Triple J website (back in early 2005) had an entry for it (), but no other info.
I don't believe that the entry on the Rage site posted above would be accurate. Just the fact it's 6 years later, there's no indication of a playlist and that, if I remember correctly, Triple J ran a competition around the time of their 1998 'All Time' countdown for a listener to program rage, which is probably what that was.27.33.125.37 (talk) 06:12, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi. There is a discussion about the deletion of a list that is identical in nature to the 23 Triple J Hottest 100 lists. The Triple J lists have been cited as precedence for keeping the Classic 100 Countdown lists. Make no mistake: if the Classic 100 lists are deleted, then the Triple J lists would be next. If you have any interest in whether the Triple J lists should be retained on Wikipedia, please click on the above link and add (with one or more reasons) a Delete or Keep indication. Thanks.  GFHandel.   20:27, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Can someone do a count for me on the number of Foo Fighters songs across the yearly lists vs the number of Powderfinger songs. They say that FF have the most songs in the lists. --JB Adder | Talk 09:43, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I have revised the History section so that it is more coherent with subsections, but a lot of information is missing. Regards,--Soulparadox (talk) 14:14, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: As the "1998–present" section covered a time frame that is too broad, I have created another subsection; however, I am hoping this will change as more content is added. Regards,--Soulparadox (talk) 06:40, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  History section requires expansion 

message: I have included "Taylor Swift campaign" in the subsection title under History, as it is has resulted in the most significant media coverage of a Hottest 100-related issue in the 21st century. Until the subsection is expanded with other notable content, then I think it is appropriate to leave it. I cannot recall the Hottest 100 appearing in the global media at such a magnitude for many years, but I am open to other views. Regards,--Soulparadox (talk) 04:39, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the title to "Taylor Swift controversy," as this seems more apt now that we are in the "aftermath," for want of a better term. Regards,--Soulparadox (talk) 06:41, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
