In August 2017, Triple J launched a survey asking for public opinion on whether the date should be changed.[29] 60% of participants voted in support of moving the date; 39% responded to not change it.[30]
In 2017, Triple J announced that they would no longer hold the Hottest 100 on 26 January. Instead, the Hottest 100 would be held on the fourth weekend of January each year, beginning with the 2017 countdown on 27 January 2018.[30]
It hasn’t been on the 26th for ages,
sauce
I know, and as an Australian Aboriginal i think it’s wrong.
