The Hottest 100 of Australian Songs will be counted down by Australian youth radio station Triple J on 26 July 2025.

Listeners can electronically vote for up to 10 songs until 17 July 2025.
Background
The Hottest 100 is an annual music poll hosted by national youth radio station Triple J. The countdown has been held since 1989, and compiles the top songs of each year as voted by listeners. Several one-off special countdowns have been announced through the years, including the Hottest 100 of the Past 20 Years (2013) and of the 2010s (2020).[1] The 2024 Hottest 100 saw American singer Chappell Roan's "Good Luck, Babe!" voted number one, meanwhile the countdown featured the lowest number of Australian musicians in almost 30 years.[2]
The Hottest 100 of Australian Songs was announced on 17 June 2025 as part of Triple J's 50th anniversary celebrations.[3] For a song to be eligible, it must have been released prior to 19 January 2025, and 50 percent of its artists must be Australian. Covers recorded for Like a Version are not eligible.[2]
