The 2018 Triple J Hottest 100 countdown was revealed on 27 January 2019, marking the 26th edition of this annual list showcasing the most favored tracks of the year as voted by listeners of the Australian broadcaster Triple J. The event saw a record participation with 2.758 million votes submitted, indicating heightened audience involvement.

The top position was claimed by Ocean Alley with their song "Confidence." The group also had four entries in the countdown and became only the second act to achieve both the No. 1 and No. 100 spots within the same year, a feat previously accomplished by Powderfinger in 1999.

Background

The Triple J Hottest 100 invites the public to vote online for their ten favorite songs released between 1 December 2017 and 30 November 2018. Voting commenced on 10 December 2018, supported by a promotional campaign featuring Liam Stapleton. High-profile musicians such as Billie Eilish, Tash Sultana, Amy Shark, and Anderson .Paak shared their selections publicly, boosting awareness. Among presenter picks were The Presets, Kwame, Rüfüs Du Sol, and G Flip.

When voting closed, Triple J announced a 14% rise in total votes compared to the previous year. The voter base was mainly Australian (95%) with a significant proportion (60%) under 25 years old, underscoring Triple J’s strong connection with younger audiences.

Projections

Ahead of the announcement, bookmakers including Sportsbet, Beteasy, Ladbrokes, alongside social media analytics platform 100 Warm Tunas, identified "Confidence" by Ocean Alley and "This Is America" by American rapper Childish Gambino as frontrunners for the top spot. Ocean Alley’s best prior ranking was No. 48 with "The Comedown" in 2017, while Gambino's highest was No. 5 for "Redbone" in 2016.

Announcement date

On 27 November 2017, Triple J declared that the Hottest 100 would no longer be held on Australia Day (January 26), shifting instead to the fourth Saturday of January. This change responded to advocacy from Indigenous Australian groups opposing Australia Day celebrations that mark British colonization. However, concerns emerged when the fourth Saturday in January 2019 fell on January 26 itself. Triple J newsreader Avani Dias and content director Ollie Wards indicated that the dates for 2019 would be reassessed and announced later.

Subsequently, on 6 December 2018, Triple J confirmed the countdown would be broadcast on 27 January 2019.
