Triple J Hottest 100, 2004

Triple J Hottest 100, 2004

The 2004 Triple J Hottest 100 was announced on January 26, 2005. It was the twelfth such countdown of the most popular songs of the year, according to listeners of the Australian 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 promtional 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.

The poll also featured:
*William Shatner's first track to be in a Hottest 100, with his version of Pulp's "Common People" He was 73 in 2004 and is the oldest person to have a song selected in a Hottest 100 line up.
*Three separate tracks about yo mama at positions #17, #23 and #25.
*Two versions of "Take Me Out" - the original by Franz Ferdinand reached #1, the cover by Scissor Sisters reached #44.
*U2's track "Vertigo", which was not played on Triple J that year, at position #38.
* Announcer Chris Taylor had agreed to streak across the grounds of the Sydney Big Day Out if the theme song from "Media Watch" polled in the countdown. At the number 7 position, it was announced that in terms of votes counted, the "Media Watch" theme had in fact come in at number 7, and Taylor proceeded to do his nude run. When he returned, it was revealed that because the song was not recorded in the year of 2004, it was not eligible to poll in the countdown.
