Australian indie artist Chet Faker has taken out Triple J's annual Hottest 100 countdown.

The number one song is played every year on the evening of Australia Day, after a day-long countdown generally accompanied by beers, mates and a blow-up pool. Over 3,829 Hottest 100 parties are held in 80 countries around the world on Jan. 26, Australian time, according to Triple J.

As the national day comes to a close, the best tracks of 2014 — voted by the alternative radio station's audience — are finally in the public sphere, putting many a rowdy pub argument to bed.

Melbourne musician Chet Faker's 'Talk is Cheap' grabbed the coveted first spot, followed by Aussie electronic duo Peking Duk's tune 'High' (Ft. Nicole Millar) and in third place, Adelaide hip hop act Hilltop Hood's track 'Cosby Sweater.'

Chet Faker's influence in this year's list was record-breaking. being only the second artist ever to get three songs in the top 10 in one year (the other artist was Powderfinger in 2003). His influence is also infiltrating America, with a recent performance for fan Ellen DeGeneres.

“Talk Is Cheap dropped right at the start of 2014. By year’s end, it was still sounding as fresh as the first day we played it," Triple J’s Music Director Richard Kingsmill said in a statement.

In the top 100, 59 tracks came from Australian artists, a further 15 songs came from the US and UK artists represented with 14 songs. The remainder of the countdown was made up of artists from New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Iceland, France and Canada.

This year was dominated by a campaign to let American songstress Taylor Swift in on the game, with thousands of Australians voting for the mainstream pop princess to be allowed to win — despite her songs not being played on the anti-commercial station in 2014.

After much internet campaigning, Swift was shut down with an official ban Monday, due to KFC supporting the push. The competition does not allow commercial campaigns. The fast food chain apologised for ruining everyone's fun, but the damage had been done — Taylor Swift had gone down in flames.
