- On Saturday 26 July 2025, the countdown begins at 10 am AEST with public voting determining the top ten historical Australian songs, broadcast by Triple J and Double J.
- With the broadcast approaching, a broader cultural question emerges about defining an ‘Australian song’, spotlighting shifts from pub rock to diverse modern voices like Thelma Plum and Baker Boy.
- In recent years, inclusion has grown, underscoring evolving recognition of Indigenous musical heritage in Australia despite past marginalization.
- On Saturday, the countdown revealed a top-20 song that had never appeared in a Hottest 100 before, and pub-rock classics are unlikely to crack the favourites.
- Beyond the countdown, the event provides a forum to rethink Australian identity, with critics noting art’s role in challenging dominant narratives.
