Notable Records
- Dolores O'Riordan, the lead singer of The Cranberries, holds the distinction of being the first female artist to top the Hottest 100 chart.
- Up to 2024, The Cranberries remain the sole Irish group to have claimed victory in the Hottest 100.
- The inaugural African musicians featured in the countdown are Angélique Kidjo from Benin and Youssou N'Dour from Senegal; meanwhile, Lucas Secon is recognized as the first Danish artist to appear.
- The Offspring established records for achieving back-to-back placements at No. 3 and No. 4 and were pioneers in securing two entries within both the Top 5 and Top 10 of a single annual countdown — a feat later equalled by Dom Dolla in 2023.
CD Release
This compilation has been issued in three distinct editions. The initial release on 24 July 1995 is no longer available. Soon after, Universal Music Australia reissued it with an identical tracklist but assigned a catalogue number corresponding to Universal's reissues from 2004. The third edition emerged in 2004 under Warner Music Australasia, featuring an updated selection: "Closer" and "Seether" were omitted, while "A Certain Slant of Light" was repositioned as track 2 on Disc 1.
Although credited to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the track "Do You Love Me?" is attributed solely to Nick Cave.
