The 2022 Triple J Hottest 100 countdown was revealed on 28 January 2023, marking the 30th iteration of this annual event showcasing the year's most favored tracks as chosen by listeners of Australian broadcaster triple j. The day prior featured the Hottest 200, ranking songs placed between 200 and 101. Proceeds from merchandise sales contributed to the Australian Conservation Foundation.
Australian artist Flume claimed the top position with his song "Say Nothing", which features May-a. The Australian indie rock group Spacey Jane dominated with six entries, including three tracks within the top ten. Voter participation exceeded 2.4 million, highlighting 57 Australian musicians in the final list.
Background
Eligible songs for the 2022 triple j Hottest 100 were those released from 1 December 2021 through to 30 November 2022. Listeners cast their votes online for their ten favorite songs, which collectively determined the final top 100 rankings. Voting commenced on 13 December 2022 and concluded on 23 January 2023.
In the previous year’s countdown, the Wiggles' rendition of Tame Impala’s "Elephant" from their Like a Version series secured the number one spot. That event generated over $1.2 million for Lifeline, a partner organisation providing crisis support.
Predictions
On 10 January 2023, triple j disclosed that fewer than 125 votes separated the leading two contenders. The predictive platform 100 Warm Tunas, known for its reliable forecasts of the Hottest 100 results, tipped "In the Wake of Your Leave" by Australian alternative rock ensemble Gang of Youths as the likely winner, followed by "Hardlight" from Fremantle-based rock group Spacey Jane, and "Stars in My Eyes" by Brisbane’s pop rock band Ball Park Music. Both Gang of Youths and Spacey Jane also achieved significant success in triple j’s Album Poll and at the 2022 J Awards. On countdown day, bookmakers such as Sportsbet favored English DJs Eliza Rose and Interplanetary Criminal’s "B.O.T.A. (Baddest of Them All)" alongside Australian producer Flume’s "Say Nothing" as frontrunners.
