Triple J has ruled out moving its Hottest 100 countdown from Australia Day in 2017, but has left the door open to changing the date in future.
"In 2017, triple j's Hottest 100 will be on the 26 January," the ABC's national youth radio station said on Tuesday.
"Future years are under review and we'll continue to talk to indigenous communities, artists and our audience about this."
Campaigns to shift the date gathered momentum in recent weeks over concerns holding it on January 26 was disrespectful towards indigenous Australians.
A change.org petition pushing for the shift was launched in August and attracted close to 3000 signatures, while social media has been abuzz with the hashtag #ChangeTheDate.
Indigenous rappers Briggs and Trials added to the debate last week with the release of their track January 26 under their collaborative name A. B. Original.
They said it "represents the annual frustration many indigenous Australians feel from the farce of a holiday".
On January 25 this year, Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes of electronic duo The Presets said they would not celebrate Australia Day because it was "frankly sickening that we continue to celebrate on this cruellest of anniversaries" for indigenous Australians.
The Hottest 100 program counts down the year's most popular songs according to a listener poll, and has been broadcast since 1989.
