Voting began on 6 June, and concluded on the evening of 26 June. The countdown was carried out over two weeks, starting on 28 June 2011, and finishing at 5pm on 10 July,Generations battle it out as music lovers vote for their Hottest 100 with Brisbane band Powderfinger's 2000 album, Odyssey Number Five (which contained two Hottest 100–winning tracks: "These Days" in 1999 and "My Happiness" in 2000), announced at No. 1.
During the countdown, selected tracks were played from selected albums, with some other albums being aired in full, including each of the albums to make the top twenty.
