Notable Records
- For the first time in the countdown's history in 1999, Australian artists dominated with a record-setting total of 52 tracks—a milestone that was later matched in Triple J Hottest 100, 2007 and exceeded in Triple J Hottest 100, 2014.
- The leading three tracks were all performed by Australian musicians for the first occurrence.
- The track "These Days" made history as the initial B-side to secure the top spot; its corresponding 'A-side' "Passenger" was positioned at No. 100. This achievement marked Powderfinger as the first act to claim both the first and last ranks within a single countdown.
- Killing Heidi and The Tenants, both discovered through Triple J Unearthed, achieved second and third places respectively—setting a record for the highest Unearthed placements until artists like Vance Joy, who won in Triple J Hottest 100, 2013, matched or surpassed this feat.
- A consecutive sequence of eight Australian tracks appeared between ranks #45 and #38—the longest such streak recorded in the history of the Hottest 100.
- Dave Grohl secured his seventh straight appearance; meanwhile, Garbage, Janet English and Regurgitator each maintained their fifth consecutive presence since Triple J Hottest 100, 1995.
