Since 2001, ABC Classic has organised a number of Classic 100 Countdown surveys. The results of each survey are decided by votes cast by the listeners of ABC Classic. After the voting, the works are played in reverse order of popularity over an intense period of programming. A feature of the countdown is that the top 100 pieces are kept secret until announced.

The top five in each of the countdowns are as follows: ::data[format=table] | |Year | |Countdown | |Top 5 | |---|---|---| | 2001 | Classic 100 Original | | | 2004 | Classic 100 Piano | | | 2005/6 | Classic 100 Opera | | | 2006 | Classic 100 Mozart | | | 2007 | Classic 100 Concerto | | | 2008 | Classic 100 Chamber music | | | 2009 | Classic 100 Symphony | | | 2010 | Classic 100 Ten Years On | | | 2011 | Classic 100 Twentieth Century | | | 2012 | Classic 100 Music of France | | | 2013 | Classic 100 Music in the Movies | | | 2014 | Classic 100 Baroque and Before | | | 2015 | Classic 100 Swoon | | | 2016 | Classic 100 Voice | | | 2017 | Classic 100 Love | | | 2018 | Classic 100 Dance | | | 2019 | Classic 100 Composer | | | 2020 | Classic 100 Beethoven | | | 2021 | url=https://www.abc.net.au/classic/classic-100/2021/|title=Tune in to the Classic 100: the music you can't live without|access-date=2021-06-07|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation}} | | | 2022 | url=https://www.abc.net.au/classic/2022/|title=Classic100: Music for the Screen|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|date=2022-06-12|access-date=2022-06-12}} | | | 2023 | Classic 100: Your Favourite Instrument | | | 2024 | Classic 100: Feel Good | | | 2025 | Classic 100: Piano | | ::
