The 2002 Triple J Hottest 100, revealed on 26 January 2003, represented the tenth iteration of the annual ranking showcasing the year's most favored tracks as selected by listeners of the Australian broadcaster Triple J. Alongside the countdown, a CD compilation featuring 39 handpicked songs was issued, accompanied by the inaugural DVD release containing music videos from the list. This year was notable for being the last to allow voting via telephone; starting in 2003, votes were accepted solely through online platforms. Although SMS voting was discontinued in 2003, it was reinstated the following year.
Initially, hosts announced rapper Nelly's track "Hot in Herre" as the top song, only to reveal this as a prank, subsequently breaking the CD live on air and playing Queens of the Stone Age's "No One Knows" as the actual number one.
The group Salmon Hater secured the 26th position with their song "6.66," following encouragement from Triple J’s morning presenters Adam Spencer and Wil Anderson who urged listeners to support this unexpected nominee.
