Chappell Roan Makes History with 'Good Luck, Babe!' Winning Triple J's Hottest 100

The American singer-songwriter's single achieved a record-breaking number of votes, cementing her rise to global stardom in 2024.

Chappell Roan's 'Good Luck, Babe!' received the most votes in the history of Triple J's Hottest 100, making her the first solo female artist to win with a single entry.
The standalone single, released in April 2024, marked a new chapter for Roan after her 2023 debut album, 'The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.'
Australian representation in the countdown declined significantly, with only 29 tracks from local artists compared to 52 in 2023, reflecting challenges in the global music landscape.
Sydney duo Royel Otis secured second place with their viral cover of 'Murder on the Dancefloor,' while Billie Eilish and Charli XCX dominated with multiple entries each.
Triple J's influence as a tastemaker has waned in recent years, with declining listener numbers and a shift in music discovery driven by social media and streaming algorithms.
