Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time, 1998

The Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time was a music poll conducted in August 1998 amongst listeners of Australian youth radio network Triple J. Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" collected the highest number of votes to claim the top position. Voters could submit a list of up to ten different songs as well as nominating one of these as their "all-time" favourite song. It was the fourth such poll organised by Triple J, following similar polls in 1989, 1990 and 1991. Initially, all songs were eligible for the annual Triple J Hottest 100. However, from 1993 onward (after having no list in 1992), only songs released in the previous year were permitted. Thus, the Hottest 100 of All Time is conducted via a separate vote, held irregularly to reflect listeners' favourite songs across all eras.

Other Notes

It was marked with a comical moment when Robbie Buck played the wrong Led Zeppelin song.[1]
Grinspoon's track 'Just Ace', which reached #88 and Ben Folds Five's track 'Brick' which came #32 is to date the only song to chart in an All Time countdown before an official yearly countdown.
