Having let slip yesterday that they’ve received a record 2.8 million votes, triple j have offered more insight into this years Hottest 100.

There’s only a couple more sleeps until the Santa of Australian music (triple j) comes down the chimney (the radio) and shares gifts of joy (the Hottest 100) with kids around the world (the earholes of grommies around the country), and the good people at the ABC have teased a few more details about this years countdown.

Here’s what we know:

– There’s no shortage of Aussie artists, who make up 65% of the tunes.
– There’s 21 Hottest 100 virgins who will be charting for the first time.
– 31 artist were first heard on triple j Unearthed (which is quite impressive).
– 5 songs were uploaded onto Unearthed in 2018.
– Two artists have back-to-back songs in the countdown.
– Eight artists will appear in the Hottest 100 for the third year in a row.

Are you keen or what? Tune into triple j Sunday from midday to see who takes the top spot!
