Thus, the Hottest 100 of All Time is conducted via a separate vote, held irregularly to reflect listeners' favourite songs across all eras.

The 2009 list was designed to reflect the twentieth anniversary of the Hottest 100's inception.

The countdown was also broadcast over two nights on ABC TV's music show Rage.

However, certain songs were omitted from the broadcast because they were never made into music videos.

Triple J released a compilation disc including 36 of the tracks.
