Triple J Hottest 100, 2004
Encyclopedia
The 2004 Triple J Hottest 100
was announced on 26 January 2005. It was the twelfth such countdown of the most popular songs of the year, according to listeners of the Australia
n radio station Triple J
.
Voters were limited to 20 votes each: 10 via SMS
(charged at 30c each) and 10 via the Internet
(no charge).
From early in the voting process, it became very obvious that Franz Ferdinand's
Take Me Out would be the clear winner of this Hottest 100. Throughout the countdown, numerous references were made to this well-established fact, including announcers sarcastically claiming "Ha-ha! You thought they'd be #1" when the Dark of the Matinee was played at #50 as well a mock promotional piece heard in between in which votes for other bands such as Placebo
were ignored in favour of Franz Ferdinand
. When Take Me Out was officially announced as #1, it was reported that it had received more than double the votes of any other song. As with receiving more than double the votes, the presenters felt it sensible to also play a live version of Take Me Out directly after the studio version played at #1.
There were a record 475,000 voters that participated in the poll.
47 of the 100 songs are by Australian artists
