Chronology
← Previous; 2001	Next →; 2003

The 2002 Triple J Hottest 100, announced on 26 January 2003, was the tenth of such countdowns of the most popular songs of the year, according to listeners of the Australian radio station Triple J. As in previous years, a CD featuring 39 (not necessarily the top 39) songs was released. For the first time, a DVD, containing film clips of songs from the Hottest 100 was also released. This was also the last time that phone voting was allowed; in the 2003 poll, only internet voting was permitted. SMS voting was removed for the 2003 poll but was reinstated in the 2004 event

When the announcers got to the number one track, they announced that rapper Nelly's song "Hot in Herre" had won the Hottest 100, after playing half of the song, they declared that it had been a joke, broke the CD on air, and began playing Queens of the Stone Age's "No One Knows".

The band Salmon Hater came in at number 26 with their song "6.66" after Triple J morning show hosts Adam Spencer and Wil Anderson made an effort to rig the event, telling listeners to vote for the otherwise unlikely candidate.^[1]

Notes

It was announced that song #101 was "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Jebediah. Triple J morning show hosts Adam Spencer and Wil Anderson later apologized to the band, as Salmon Hater "took their spot" in the countdown.
Grinspoon equal Killing Heidi's record of the highest placing of a Triple J Unearthed artist at #2.
At age 42, Mark Lanegan is the oldest person to win the Hottest 100.
A record low 62 different artists appeared in the 2002 Hottest 100.
Dave Grohl's ten entries with Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana and the Foo Fighters in the 2002 countdown, sets the record for most appearances in a Hottest 100.
- Following his appearance on "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age, Dave Grohl is the first artist to have won both an annual Hottest 100, as well as an "Of All Time" countdown (Grohl previously won the 1991 and 1998 Of All Time countdowns with his appearance on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana)
