Imagine a giant party where everyone gets to vote for their favorite songs! That's the Triple J Hottest 100! In 2024, it was a super special music countdown that happened on January 25th.

It's like the biggest music popularity contest ever, and it's all about the songs that made us want to dance, sing, and feel amazing all year long. It's the 32nd time this awesome event has happened, making it a long-time favorite for music lovers!

Over 2.4 million people, just like you and your friends, cast their votes! That's more people than live in a big city! They all listened to the radio and picked their top tunes.

The song that won was 'Good Luck, Babe!' by Chappell Roan. It got so many votes, it's the most popular song EVER in the Hottest 100's history! Wow!

Billie Eilish and Charli XCX were super popular too, with eight songs each in the countdown!

After the top 100 songs were announced, the fun didn't stop! Two days later, on January 27th, Triple J played the Hottest 200.
