For the first time in Hottest 100 history, triple j has broadcast the songs that placed 200 to 101 before the 100 instead of afterwards.
For those fresh to the Hottest 100 weekend, the Hottest 200 - which would be more accurate but less catchily dubbed the Second-Hottest 100 - is usually played the day after the main event.
However, this year the national youth broadcaster switched things up on us (and we're not really sure why).
There was a mixed response from regular listeners to the change, but if triple j listens to its consumers' opinions, we could likely see a change back to the original format next year.

The main event, the Hottest 100, will hit radio waves and Bluetooth speakers from 12pm AEST on Saturday, January 22.
It is simulcast so you won't be able to listen back to something by switching time zones on the app.
