Triple-J's Hottest 100 is an annual music poll conducted by the ABC's youth radio station JJJ. The poll counts votes for listeners' favourite songs of the previous year, and has been run (in its curre...
nt form) each year since 1993 with more than two million votes cast in 2014's Hottest 100.
I was curious to know which artists feature most prominently in the Hottest 100. So, I scraped the poll results for each year from Wikipedia, and used KNIME to aggregate entries for each artist. I then ranked artists by number of entries, followed by median entry position. This allowed me to come up with the "Hottest 100 Artists for 1993 – 2014".
I created an interactive chart using d3.js to visualize the Hottest 100 Artists. The chart is a scatter plot with a circle glyph for each Hottest 100 track by a popular artist. The position of a glyph is determined by its artist and the year it polled. Its colour denotes the track's rank in the poll (red=1; yellow=50; white=100). You can mouse-over a track to see more information about it, or mouse-over an artist/year label to highlight tracks for that artist/year.
We can see that Powderfinger currently tops the poll with 22 entries (median position 21.5; 1996 – 2009) followed by Foo Fighters (17 entries; median 37; 1995 – 2015). Lana Del Ray takes out the 100th position with five entries (median 32; 2011 – 2013).
