Notes
- The Cure's seven entries is a new record for most appearances in a single countdown.
- Billy Bragg is the first artist in Hottest 100 history to have back to back entries in a countdown. His songs "Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards" & "Greetings to the New Brunette" came in at #58 and #59 respectively.
- Five songs maintained their positions from the previous year's countdown.
- Black Box is the first Italian artist to ever make it into the Hottest 100.
- This was the final countdown to be referred to as a "Hot 100" as Triple J was later forced to change the poll's name to 'Hottest 100' to avoid legal action with 4ZZZ.
