See below for reasoning behind the leading contenders to take the No. 1 spot.

These Days – Powderfinger ($17 @ PlayUp)


Why it’s a favourite: Iconic Aussie rock staple—originally topped the Hottest 100 in 1999. Has strong nostalgic and chart presence for this all-time Aussie tracks countdown and is great value at $17.

My Happiness – Powderfinger ($2.20 @ PlayUp)


Why it works: Follows up “These Days” from the same album; synergy with the same artist dominating the voting. Market views it as a tandem leader and a deserved leading contender.

The Less I Know the Better – Tame Impala ($10 @ PlayUp)


Angle: Though it didn’t top its annual Hottest 100, it won the 2010s countdown, giving it momentum in this ultimate list.

Somebody That I Used to Know – Gotye ($5.00 @ PlayUp)


Why in market: Massive domestic/global hit. Its cultural impact makes it a strong bet in an Australian-themed poll.

1. Cult Following / Meme Status

Shannon Noll has evolved from Australian Idol runner-up to an Aussie meme legend, especially among younger Triple J listeners.

“What About Me” has long been the subject of online campaigns, jokes, and viral posts — ironically or not, it remains wildly beloved.

Past campaigns like “Nollsie for Hottest 100” have gained traction — and in an all-time list, this meme value could translate into real votes.

  • Betting angle: Triple J voters love to troll (e.g. Taylor Swift campaigns, Rickrolling tactics). A “meme bet” like Nollsie often sees inflated late support, which odds might not account for early.

2. Mass Recognition & Longevity

“What About Me” is one of the most recognisable Australian pop songs of the 2000s — a #1 ARIA single and multi-platinum hit.

It transcends genres and generations, giving it mass voter reach.

While the song wasn’t a Triple J staple, Hottest 100 of All Time votes often value impact over Triple J rotation.

  • Betting angle: Widespread familiarity boosts its dark horse chances — particularly with casual voters or nostalgia voters returning just for this poll.

3. Nostalgia-Driven Voting

The 2024 Hottest 100 of Australian Songs was heavily driven by early 2000s nostalgia — with Powderfinger, Silverchair, Missy Higgins and Jet ranking highly.

"What About Me" (released in 2004) sits perfectly in that cultural pocket of Aussie adolescence — its emotional punch still resonates.

  • Betting angle: If voters went emotional rather than “cool”, Shannon Noll becomes a sentimental sleeper pick.

4. High Social Media Engagement

Nollsie’s presence on TikTok and Instagram is surprisingly strong, often reposting fan-made edits or self-aware content.

Triple J voting campaigns often start on social media — and ironic voting movements can snowball fast.
