Triple J Hottest 100 2024: Will Charli XCX Have the Most Songs in the Hottest 100?

The annual Triple J Hottest 100 countdown is a major event in Australian music, with listeners voting for their favorite songs of the year. As voting for the 2024 poll draws to a close, one artist stands out as a potential record-breaker: British pop sensation Charli XCX. Let’s take a look.

Charli XCX’s Triumphant 2024

Charli XCX has had an incredible 2024. In June, she released her smash album Brat to rave reviews and huge commercial success. Featuring hits like “Yuck” and “You Make Me Sick”, Brat debuted at #1 in Australia and was nominated for seven Grammys, including Album of the Year. Brat also spawned ‘Brat Girl Summer’.

Critics praised Brat as Charli’s best and most adventurous album yet. In December, it was named the best album of 2024 by BBC News’ poll of polls. Charli also scored a featured artist credit on “Hot N Heavy”, a collaboration with Kim Petras that topped charts worldwide.

With multiple hit singles under her belt, Charli XCX is poised to dominate the Hottest 100 – perhaps even breaking the record for most tracks by one artist.

Previous Hottest 100 Chart Positions

Charli XCX has previously only appeared in the Triple J Hottest 100 once, back in 2017 with her simple but catchy song ‘Boys’. This reached number 60, but things have changed dramatically for her since then. Based on airplay and streaming data, experts predict Charli could have as many as six tracks in this year’s Hottest 100:

• 360 feat. Robyn & Yung Lean
• Everything is Romantic feat. Caroline Polachek
• Sympathy is a Knife feat. Ariana Grande
• Von Dutch feat. Addison Rae

With this range of smash hits, she seems likely to top her personal best Hottest 100 showing. But can she set a new overall record? We will soon find out.

Record in Sight?

The current record for most tracks by one artist in a single Hottest 100 is held by G Flip, who landed seven tracks in the countdown in 2023.

Only a handful of acts have equaled this milestone, including Hilltop Hoods, Kendrick Lamar, and Flume.

But with six strong contenders, Charli XCX is in prime position to set a new high mark for Hottest 100 dominance. Landing six tracks would be an unprecedented achievement.

The singer’s diverse 2024 catalogue gives her an edge, showcasing her ability to thrive in pop, punk, dance, and even country styles. This versatility has made her a Hottest 100 favorite.

We’ll have to wait for the countdown to know for sure, but one thing is clear: 2024 belonged to Charli XCX. Expect to hear that name a lot when the Hottest 100 results are revealed on January 25. Whether she tops G Flip’s record or not, Charli’s music clearly struck a chord with Triple J listeners this year.
