4ZZZ Hot 100

If you’re looking for a hangover cure for January 1 2013 then 4ZZZ has got you covered with the iconic 4ZZZ Hot 100 Countdown! Now in it’s 37th year, the annual countdown will help Brisbane celebrate New Year’s Day with 100 of the best songs from home grown and overseas talent.

Being the Sunshine State, the 4ZZZ Hot 100 Countdown will centre on a ‘Sunshine State of Mind’ which is all about summer, fun, independent music and radio and of course, pineapples in sunglasses!

The Countdown kicks-off at midday on New Years Day and gives listeners a chance to vote for their favourite tunes from a list of songs broadcast and released on 4ZZZ between November 2011 and November 2012.

But listeners have to get in quick as voting closes Christmas Day, so head to the 4ZZZ website, www.4zzzfm.org.au, for details and to cast your vote. Remember you can only vote once, so make your vote count!

For those who aren’t too dreary from the night before, there will also be events and parties organised in conjunction with the broadcast so you can keep the celebrations going!

The 4ZZZ Hot 100 Countdown follows a long tradition that dates back to 1976 when staffer Stuart Matchett created the Countdown to celebrate the best in music from Australia and around the world.

The Countdown has since seen number one hits ranging from the infamous surf-rock of The Beach Boys “Good Vibrations” to the punk rambling of Sex Pistols “Anarchy in the UK” and last years winner, Gotye and Kimbra’s “Somebody I Used to Know”.

Now that it seems we’re going to survive 2012 apocalypse, let’s celebrate 2013 with great 100 great tunes!
