4ZZZ launched its glorious tradition of counting down listeners' 100 favourite songs on New Year's Day 1977. More than 10 years later, 2JJJ in Sydney (which employed many ex-Zed staff) began conducting its own Hot 100. Because 4ZZZ held the rights to the name Hot 100, there was a little bit of legal biffo when TripleJ became a national broadcaster, so they changed the name of their survey to the "Hottest 100".
Flood warning updates
Updates have been released regarding the flood situation in southern inland Queensland as some residents have become isolated.
Blackall-Tambo mayor Jan Ross said localised flooding has cut off roads and hopes residents have enough food and water to wait out the inundation.
Areas that could also be affected by flooding include Charleville, Mitchell, Roma, St George, Blackall and the Carnarvon Ranges.
