Notes
edit- The Rubens are the first winning artist since Augie March in 2006 to only feature once in the countdown. Their next closest entry was "Hallelujah" at number 121, which was announced in the "second Hottest 100" (places 200 to 101), revealed on 31 January.
- Ngaiire is the first Papua New Guinean to chart in the Hottest 100 countdown.
- The song "Delete" by DMA's charted in the countdown for the second year in a row after a cover by Sticky Fingers featured at number 84. Similarly "Big Jet Plane" by Angus & Julia Stone which won the countdown in 2010 came in at number 81 with a cover by Tuka.
- The 2015 list features 11 different nationalities, breaking the record of 10 from 2013 and 2014.
- With their two entries in this year's list Flight Facilities have now had seven songs from their album Down to Earth in the countdown. This equals the record set by Wolfmother from their debut Wolfmother.
- The song "Cream On Chrome" by Ratatat is the only instrumental song to make the countdown, and is the 5th instrumental song to appear in the Hottest 100 since 1999.
- "Twilight Driving" by Methyl Ethel (#97) and "Be Together" by Major Lazer featuring Wild Belle (#98) were mistakenly played in the wrong order.
