1 | '''Triple J''' ('''JJJ''') is a youth radio station in Australia. Due to its spread through the Internet, It has become the most famous radio station in Australia.

3 | Though it has no format per se, Triple J leans more alternative rock with some rap. It hosted the Big Day Out music festival yearly from 1992 to 2014, which has attracted big names such as Music/KanyeWest and Frank Ocean. |

5 | Since 1993, it has hosted the annual ''Hottest 100'' poll for the most popular songs of that year. With approximately a ''million'' votes cast from all seven continents each year (with 2019's vote setting a new record of three million), it is the largest radio poll in the world. Such popular artists as Music/KingsOfLeon, Music/{{Oasis}}, Music/{{Muse}}, and even Music/{{Macklemore}} have won in the past. |

7 | Since TheNewTens began, Triple J has become somewhat of a ColbertBump for indie artists. Mumford and Sons got an alt-rock hit after their Hottest 100 victory. Gotye and Macklemore both had #1 hits globally shortly after they won the poll, and Vance Joy even got a record deal out of his own victory. Unfortunately, after that, [[OneHitWonder it (usually) does them no good]]. |
