## Trivia

[edit]

* Scoring songs at #1 and #3, Powderfinger set the current record for best performing pair of songs (ranked by adding their positions). This record was to be equaled by Kings of Leon in 2008. The Offspring held the previous record, with songs at #3 and #4 in 1994.
* Powderfinger also became the only act at that point to top the countdown twice, after "These Days" topped the 1999 list. Flume would later equal this record after winning the 2016 and 2022 countdowns.
* Furthermore, Powderfinger the first artist to feature in the top 10 of an annual countdown for three years in a row (1998–2000), and the first artist since The Cranberries (1993–94) to finish in the top 3 for the second year in a row. Both of these records would later be broken by Billie Eilish and Spacey Jane in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
* "Thank You (for Loving Me at My Worst)" by The Whitlams also featured in the 1999 Hottest 100 at #54, as did "Mutha Fukka on a Motorcycle" by Machine Gun Fellatio at #59.
* Bomfunk MC's is the first artist from Finland to appear in the Hottest 100.
* Dave Grohl made his ninth consecutive appearance in the Hottest 100, having featured in every annual countdown to date.
* Regurgitator made their sixth consecutive appearance, having appeared since 1995.
* Metallica, Powderfinger, Rage Against the Machine, The Whitlams all made their fifth consecutive appearance, having appeared since 1996.
