triple j has started the year with strong momentum, delivering a standout result in GfK Survey 1 as audiences tuned in for the Hottest 100 and a summer of big moments for Australian music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In survey 1 the network reached 2.123 million listeners each week, up 20% since the last survey and 9.1% year-on-year, with share increasing across every metro market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
triple j’s performance includes another powerful Hottest 100, which once again demonstrated its ability to be a huge cultural event. 2.1 million votes were submitted this year and there were 3.44 million total stream starts across the entire Hottest Weekend (Saturday & Sunday) and 45M+ views of our content across the Hottest Weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
triple j\u2019s Hottest 100 continued to resonate most strongly with young Australians, with 18\u201329-year-olds the largest voting demographic, and around one-third of all Australians engaging with the countdown across the weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australian music was front and centre in this year\u2019s countdown which saw an 86% increase in Australian entries compared to the Hottest 100 of 2024, with 54 Australian artists featured in the list and 113 Australian tracks across the full Hottest 200. The introduction of a dedicated Australian artist voting tab made it easier than ever for audiences to discover and back local acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Head of triple j & Double J Lachlan Macara said, <\/strong>\u201cWhat\u2019s most encouraging is the level of support we\u2019re seeing for Australian music at the moment. From Unearthed artists making their Hottest 100 debut to a significant lift in Australian tracks across the countdown, our audiences are clearly backing local artists in a meaningful way. The Hottest 100 continues to be one of the biggest platforms for Australian music in the country, and it\u2019s great to see that support reflected in both engagement and listening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n triple j is again calling on audiences in regional Australia, with submissions now open for the next One Night Stand. Following its triumphant return, audiences are being invited to pitch why their town should host the iconic all-ages live music event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From discovery to the country\u2019s biggest music countdown, triple j continues to shape the national music conversation. The strength of this result underscores the Hottest 100\u2019s enduring cultural relevance and triple j\u2019s ability to bring audiences together around Australian music, year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: GfK Radio360 Ratings, SMBAP Survey 1 2026, Mon-Sun 12MN-12MN, Reach (000s), Share %, total radio, triple j, double j Reach (000s), AP10+<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" triple j has started the year with strong momentum, delivering a standout result in GfK Survey 1 as audiences tuned in for the Hottest 100 and a summer of big moments for Australian music.
