The 1993 Triple J Hottest 100, announced in January 1994, represented the inaugural yearly countdown showcasing the most favored tracks of the year as selected by listeners of the Australian broadcaster Triple J. Transitioning to an annual format occurred after it was observed that earlier open-era polls exhibited minimal variation from year to year. Close to 50,000 votes were collected.

A two-disc CD set containing 32 songs was issued, becoming one of the top-selling albums in Australia and establishing a model for future yearly compilations.

• "Sober" was replaced by "Friday I'm in Love" performed by The Cure
• "All That She Wants" gave way to "Animal Nitrate" from Suede
• "My Sister" was substituted with "I Feel You" by Depeche Mode
