triple j starts their 50th year strong

As triple j ushers in their 50th year, they have demonstrated age is only a number by delivering strong results in GfK Survey 1 released today.

Across the 5 capital city markets, triple j added 296k more weekday listeners and 218k more weekend listeners.

Sydney was a standout where the network saw a +0.9% overall share increase driven by a +3.9% jump in the 18-24 target demo.

Breakfast with Concetta and Luka is reaching 840,000 listeners across the 5 capital cities, an increase of 115,000 survey on survey. In Sydney, Breakfast saw a +1.3% increase for their program.

These results came despite much of the triple j Hottest 100 campaign sitting outside the survey period this year.

Head of triple j, Double J & ABC Country, Lachlan Macara, said: “It’s nice to see these GfK numbers reflect the massive impact triple j’s already had across socials to start the year. Like A Version’s alone during this survey period have racked up 33+Million views across triple j’s TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channels.”

Votes in the Hottest 100 were up 5% on last year with a massive 2.49m total votes counted. Over 70% of voters were under 30, showing the continued impact triple j and the Hottest 100 has on its target demographic.

With almost 2 million subscribers to the triple j YouTube account and 320k on TikTok, triple j is undoubtably the most impactful youth media brand in the country across platforms. The triple j Instagram account also clocked a massive milestone last week by joining the 1 million followers club.

On Tuesday, triple j announced the date and line up for the 2025 One Night Stand. The event will take place on Saturday 24 May at a location to be announced at 4pm AEDT today.

The all-Australian line-up features Spacey Jane, LUUDE, singer-songwriter Ruby Fields and award-winning hip hop supergroup 3% and a huge set from a local triple j Unearthed competition winner.

Tickets for triple j’s One Night Stand will be on sale at 5pm AEDT today after the location is revealed on triple j.
