Turns out Aussies can’t get enough of the countdown.

With the dust settling on US pop star Billie Eilish taking the #1 spot in this year’s Hottest 100 with her single ‘Bad Guy’, and their Hottest 100 of the decade receiving thousands of votes each day, triple j have released some stats about who was listening that will make your head spin.:

• 19% of Australians aged 16 and over listened to the Hottest 100 live on 25 January 2020 – that’s more than 3.25 million people, not including overseas listeners
• 29% of Australians aged 18-34 listened to the Hottest 100
• 78% listened along with other people
• 38% of Australians aged 16 and over were across the Hottest 100 in some way – either having listened, voted or checked it out online via social media, news coverage or the triple j website, which is an estimated 6.67 million people!

As the Hottest 100 winner was announced, there were more than 333,790 digital streams going out via the triple j app, website, smart speakers and other platforms – pretty crazy right?!
