The 2012 Triple J Hottest 100 was announced on Australia Day 26 January 2013. It was the 20th countdown of the most popular songs of the year, as chosen by the listeners of Australian radio station Triple J.
Voting commenced on 19 December 2012, and closed at midnight on 20 January 2013.[1]
Over 1.5 million votes were cast in this countdown, beating the record set in 2011.[2]
In the week prior to the countdown, Nick Drewe, a Brisbane statistician and marketer, analysed the votes that had been published on social media and determined the possible top 100, naming it the Warmest 100. The votes that had been published represented approximately 2.7% of the total vote. Ultimately, his list correctly predicted 92 of the songs in the countdown, the songs comprising the top 10, and the top 3 in the correct order.[3][4] The ABC have announced that it would likely make changes to the voting system to prevent "spoiler attempts" in future countdowns.[5]

Notes
- For the second year in a row, the songs "Lonely Boy" and "Brother" charted in the countdown. This time "Lonely Boy" was covered by Matt Corby, who ranked at #3 (with his song "Brother") behind the original song by The Black Keys in the previous year's Hottest 100 (at #2). The version of "Brother" that appears in this year's countdown is a cover by Thundamentals.
- There were eight songs in a row by Australian artists between positions #55 and #48. This is the equal longest run of Australian songs since 1999.
- For the fourth consecutive year, an artist from Triple J Unearthed made it into the Top 10 of the countdown. Flume ranked at #4 this year.
- "Thrift Shop" is the first hip-hop song to top the chart in Hottest 100 history. It also breaks the record of highest ranking hip-hop song, which was previously set by Coolio, the Gorillaz and Hilltop Hoods who managed to place third in 1995, 2005, 2006 and 2009.
- "My Heart Is on Fire" by Asta marks the first appearance in the countdown by the winning entry in Unearthed High. 2011 winners Snakadaktal charted in the previous countdown with a song they had recorded after winning the competition.
- For the first time since 2008, no Australian artist featured in the Top 3.
- The four highest charting artists in this year's countdown were all debutants. This is the first time this has happened since the first countdown in 1993.
- Additionally, the four highest charting artists in this year's countdown were acts from four nations. This is the first time in the poll's history this has occurred.
- 78 artists made in into the chart; this makes this list the second most diverse list.
- For the second year in a row, Calvin Harris placed at #11.
- Greta Svabo Bech is the first artist from the Faroe Islands to appear in the Hottest 100.[9]
- Then Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced her favorite song of the year – "Clair de Lune" by Flight Facilities.[10]
- Ben Folds Five appearance at #73 with "Draw a Crowd" equaled the record set by Robert Smith in 2010 for the longest absence between countdowns; their last appearance was in 1999.
- Hilltop Hoods appeared in their sixth consecutive annual Hottest 100.
