Triple J Hottest 100, 1993


The 1993 Triple J Hottest 100, counted down in January 1994, was the first countdown of the most popular songs of the year, according to listeners of the Australian radio station Triple J. As opposed to previous incarnations of the poll where listeners could vote on any track or song, the 1993 poll was the first poll to restrict voting to tracks released in that year. About 50,000 votes were counted for this countdown.
A double CD featuring 32 of the songs was released. This compilation was, and many of the ones to follow in future years were, some of the highest selling CDs in Australia.
