The 2007 Triple J Hottest 100, revealed on 26 January 2008, marked the fifteenth iteration of the annual ranking featuring the most favored tracks as voted by listeners of Australian radio broadcaster Triple J. Voting took place between 1 and 20 January 2008, accumulating more than 700,000 ballots. The countdown aired live starting at 10 a.m. AEST, simultaneously broadcast across all time zones for the very first time. Triple J organized live celebrations at The Domain, Sydney and Melbourne Docklands.
This particular countdown was the narrowest in the history of the Hottest 100, with just a margin of 13 votes separating the first and second positions. It also matched a record by including 52 songs from Australian musicians, equaling the total set in 1999.
