The 2006 Triple J Hottest 100 countdown was revealed on 26 January 2007, representing the fourteenth consecutive year of ranking the most favored tracks as selected by listeners of Australian broadcaster Triple J.
Voting took place from 1 to 21 January 2007, with a total of 671,024 ballots submitted.
The event was broadcast beginning at 10 am and featured a live segment from Hyde Park in Sydney starting at position #75. The top ten songs were unveiled at 6 pm by the station’s breakfast hosts Myf Warhurst and Jay and the Doctor. The number one track, "One Crowded Hour" by Augie March, was viewed as a notable surprise victory over popular contenders "Black Fingernails, Red Wine" by Eskimo Joe and "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley.
