Triple J

TRIPLE J is reportedly in serious talks to move its annual Hottest 100 celebrations from Australia Day, in light of growing concern that the countdown should be aired on a less divisive day.
A petition hosted on change.org, which has garnered more than 2300 signatures so far, argues that it is disrespectful to host the countdown on a day that many indigenous Australians see as a day of mourning.
January 26 marks the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet on Australian soil in 1788, considered the birthday of the nation.
However, many indigenous Australians prefer to refer to Australia Day as Invasion Day or Survival Day, because to them it is when their land was invaded by Europeans.
“By changing the date of the Hottest 100 countdown, Triple J can send a message to First Nations’ Peoples that they, and their experiences, are valued and respected by other Australians”, the petition states.
Triple J has been in contact with numerous high-profile Aboriginal musicians in order to get their views on the matter, according to “multiple well-placed sources” cited by pop culture website Pedestrian.

Indigenous hip hop artist Briggs told indie music site Music Feeds it’s a conversation “we should all be having”.
“It’d be an obvious salute for us if [Triple J] did move it,” he said.
“That’s solidarity right there, for something that would be right … would be the right thing to do. That’s a conversation that we should all be having, with why we are celebrating that day.”

For many, the annual countdown is synonymous with their Australia Day celebrations, however the Hottest 100 has not always been held on the public holiday. The countdown was first held in March of 1989.
A number of public holidays occur after mid-December, when major labels cease sending new music to radio. Most stations don’t add new music to their playlists during this period, so the countdown could easily be shifted to a more universally celebrated public holiday without losing any of its impact.
You’d still be able to have your Hottest 100 barbecue, only without the guilt.
News.com.au has approached Triple J for comment.

I don't see an issue with it. Maybe it will prompt some serious discussion to move Aus Day to another day of the year.

Can we also create a day to celebrate the Afghan camelleers arrival in Australia in 1838?

If it means we get another public holiday, then yes

Personally I think we should move our national day to April 25th

That was the day our nation was born, not the day the Brits rocked up here

I'm a bit of a neutral on the issue but IMO It doesn't matter what day Australia Day is on, it will never be accepted much like government apologies.

If they find it neccessary to move the count perhaps New Years Day would be good, out with the old in with the new

Yes, but its probably the first moment in our history that we forge our own identity imo.

I haven't listened to Triple J since they stopped supporting Australian rock bands but this is a good thing, it's a pity they've whimped out this time. Jan 1 would be ideal for both occasions.

They should move it to April 1st. With what Triple J play these days that would be more appropriate ;) :D

Triple J will not have the Hottest 100 on Australia Day.

Triple J said it will now be holding a “Hottest 100 Weekend” every fourth weekend in January.

This year the Hottest 100 will be held on Saturday, January 27 and the Hottest 200 on Sunday, January 28.

Triple J said it would have alternative programming on Australia Day highlighting the diversity of Australia as well as playing nothing but local music all day.

How is taxpayers money being poorly used here? All the announcers and staff will be paid the same as any other day it's held.

If anything, moving it is probably a better use of taxpayer $$$ than paying for staff to spend time discussing whether they should move the count, responding to debates about the issue and defending their decision to hold it on Australia Day. Being involved in this debate is actually very time consuming and time costly for staff.

So they're making Australia Day ( Jan 26 ) even more Australian by only playing Australian music.

Huh.

I'm a radio slut, so I listen to a huge range of stations. Triple J rotates through on my radio.

Currently protesting at the minute......didn't listen to it all day apart from my morning alarm. That will also change tomorrow....

*my reason for protesting is because they have become involved in an issue they shouldn't be anywhere near. Let the politicians sort it out via a plebiscite ;)
