The 2017 Triple J Hottest 100 will be the 25th countdown of the most popular songs of the year, as chosen by listeners of Australian radio station Triple J. Historically, the countdown has been announced on Australia Day (26 January), but this year's countdown is notable for its date being subject to review, due to opposition to the Day's celebratory commemoration of British settlement.[1]
Background
Triple J's Hottest 100 allows members of the public to vote online for their top ten songs of the year, which are then used to calculate the year's 100 most popular songs. Any song that was released for the first time between 1 December 2016 and 30 November 2017 is eligible for the Hottest 100. Voting opens shortly after the end of the eligibility period.
Announcement date
In mid-2016, support grew for a campaign calling on Triple J to change the date of the Hottest 100. Calls were led by Indigenous Australian activists and supporters, many of whom regard Australia Day as "Invasion Day".[2] Australian hip hop duo A.B. Original and their anti-Australia Day single "January 26" were instrumental in drawing support to the cause.[3] Triple J responded to the campaign in September 2016, announcing a review over whether the date of the Hottest 100 should be changed.[4]
The review of the date continued into 2017, including consultation with Reconciliation Australia, the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples, and the National Australia Day Council, while 2016's Hottest 100 was held on Australia Day without change.[5] In August 2017, Triple J launched a survey asking for public opinion on whether the date should be changed.[6][7] Former Triple J presenters Matt Okine and Kyran Wheatley came out in support of a date change.[8][9]
