Number 1

  • "Somebody That I Used to Know" is the first collaboration between separate artists to top the Hottest 100. It also marks the first time that the Hottest 100 and 4ZZZ's Hot 100 have featured the same winning song.
  • For the second consecutive year and the third time ever, the #1 song featured a female vocalist. This was also the second consecutive year the #1 song was a duet between a male and a female artist.
  • Gotye is the first artist to win the Hottest 100, the Triple J album poll and the J Award for Australian Album of the Year in the same year.
  • Kimbra became the first New Zealand artist to feature in the #1 song of a Hottest 100. In addition, Kimbra's four tracks equals the record set by Lily Allen in 2006, and Florence and the Machine in 2009 for the highest total from a female artist.

General

  • Producer François Tétaz helped write, produce, and mix eight songs that charted in the countdown. The songs he helped write/produce/mix were all the songs by Architecture in Helsinki, Kimbra, and Gotye.
  • This is the first countdown since 1995 not to feature any previous Hottest 100 winners.
  • The song "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire charted in the countdown for the second year in a row after a cover by Mr Little Jeans featured at #100. Similarly, Owl Eyes' cover of "Pumped Up Kicks" was #28, four places higher than what the original version by Foster the People could manage the previous year.
  • For the third year in a row an artist from Triple J Unearthed got in the Top 10. This year it was Boy & Bear, San Cisco and The Jezabels.
  • The 2010 and 2011 Unearthed High winners (Stonefield and Snakadaktal) both made their first appearances in the Hottest 100. This is the first time this has been done.
