TRIPLE J vs THE CHARTS: THE TOP 100 SINGLES FROM THE TRIPLE J HOT 100’s (1989-1991)

Before the Triple J Hottest 100 became the biggest and most famous annual music poll worldwide, it was an annual “All Time” poll called the Hot 100. With the first list from 1989, the Hot 100 survived another two years before a rethink of the format was made. I mean, for how many years can we have Nirvana at the top, right?

For this list, we’re putting Triple J head to head with the chart success of the songs that made it in. The formula goes something a little like “chart success in Australia” x “position on the Hot 100”. And the more Hot 100’s the songs appeared in, the higher they go on this list.

We have huge hits here that just sneaked into a Hot 100, and minor hits that were very popular in Triple J circles, even making it into all three lists despite their lack of sales. And the, of course, everything in between.

The first three Hot 100 lists combined turned out exactly 102 singles that had, or have since, charted on the Australian Singles Charts. And phew! to just being able to make a full list. At that exact point in time, there wouldn’t have been enough, but a few singles through re-issue, digital download or streaming have manage to make their appearance in the Top 100. Better late than never.

This list has everything – pop, rock, metal, new age, punk, art, rap and hip hop. It’s pretty amazing how vast the music genres stretched amongst our youth back in the day – oh, which means me!
