This list compiles the dates for when each track that appeared in the Hottest 100 was released, and the name of the accompanying album or other applicable media format it was released on. It should be noted that the release dates listed are the earliest date at which the track in question was first released. This may mean it differs from the official release date of its accompanying album. In many cases, a track can be released months, or even years prior to its accompanying album. This may be due to a song being released as a single first, or being picked up and popularised by a radio station prior to an official release. Regardless, every date listed here has been thoroughly researched and checked to ensure its accuracy.

- #26: '6.66' - Salmon Hater: Originally a joke band made up by Triple J presenters, a listener created a real song to accompany the fake band.

- #33: 'Hate To Say I Told You So' - The Hives: Originally released in 2000 on the album 'Veni Vidi Vicious', but then re-released in late 2001 on the compilation 'Your New Favourite Band' and released as a single in February 2002.
- #46: 'Rock Star' - N*E*R*D: Originally released in September 2001 in a more electronic form, the album was re-recorded in a more conventional style and re-released in March 2002.
- #51: 'Down River' - The Wilcannia Mob: Released as part of a compilation organised by musician Morganics through his work with Indigenous musicians throughout varying workshops in Australia.
- #60: 'A Little Less Conversation' - Elvis vs. JXL: Originally released in September 1968, this song was remixed by Junkie XL in 2002 and released as a new song that was included with the Elvis compilation album 'ELV1S'. It was also released the following year on Junkie XL's album 'Radio JXL: A Broadcast From The Computer Hell Cabin'.
- #96: 'Lies' - The Waifs: Originally released in June 2000 on the album 'Sink Or Swim', this song was re-released on the 'London Still' EP in 2002.
