Triple J Hottest 100, 2014
The 2014 Triple J Hottest 100 will be announced on Australia Day, 26 January 2015. It will be the 22nd countdown of the most popular songs of the year, as chosen by the listeners of Australian radio station Triple J.
Voting commenced in mid-December 2014, and closed on 18 January 2015. Voters each nominate ten songs that were released during 2014 and submit them through the Triple J website.[1]
A controversial social media campaign to vote for Taylor Swift's song "Shake It Off" was started on BuzzFeed and continued on Twitter with the hashtag #Tay4Hottest100. The campaign originated as a protest against Triple J not including the song on their shortlist of songs.[2] The rules and voting system allow any song released in 2014 to be manually added, so it is eligible, despite not being played on Triple J at all during 2014.[3] The song quickly became one of the favourites to win according to betting agencies.[4] The song was eventually disqualified from the countdown; however, according to Triple J, "Shake It Off" would have made it to No. 12 on the countdown.[5]
