MELBOURNE’S Chet Faker won and Taylor Swift lost this year’s Triple J Hottest 100.
Faker’s Talk is Cheap beat favourites High by Peking Duk and Cosby Sweater by Hilltop Hoods.
Impressively Faker scored three songs in the Top 10 — the first act since Powderfinger in 1993 — and a fourth at No.21.
“I’m legitimately excited,” Faker told the station.
However the iconic poll was dominated by the will she or won’t she debate over a campaign to get American singer Taylor Swift into the Hottest 100, started by website Buzzfeed.
TAYLOR DISQUALIFED: Triple J accuses `trolls’ of trying to ruin poll
OPINION: Why Triple J fans need to broaden their minds
Angry at their poll being trolled, Triple J took exception to the campaign’s aim to “teach those music snobs a lesson” which then prompted the creation of an app to “spam” votes for Swift’s Shake It Off.

No Swift was good news for Adelaide’s teen rapper Tkay Maidza, who made No.100.

Melbourne’s Vance Joy, who reached No.1 last year with Riptide, scored three entries, with Mess is Mine the highest at No.13. He would have joined Swift on the poll — he will open for the US superstar across the globe this year.
Swift fans online were angry their legitimate votes for the American superstar were voided and dismissed as trolling by Triple J, who refused to accept anyone could be voting for Shake It Off without an ulterior motive.
In a lesson commercial radio could take notice of 59 tracks were by Australian artists, proving local listeners like to hear local music.
Hip hop artist … Tkay Maidza also made the list at no. 100.

Melbourne newcomer Meg Mac scored three entries, as did Brisbane’s Ballpark Music, the UK’s Alt-J, Queensland metal band the Amity Affliction and Sydney’s Sticky Fingers while Australian hip hop continued to dominate with three entries each for Blue Mountains crew Thundamentals and Hottest 100 veterans Hilltop Hoods.
Foo Fighters, one of the most popular rock bands in the world, infiltrated the sacred Hottest 100 at No.84 with no Swift-style fuss about the station playing their songs — the theory is they ‘belong’ on Triple J due to the alternative pedigree of frontman Dave Grohl.
Hottest 100 veterans … the Hill Top Hoods.

Commercial radio hit Chandelier by Sia was OK’d by Triple J HQ and made No.9, while chart topper Bruno Mars managed to sneak into the Hottest 100 for the first time under the cool umbrella of producer Mark Ronson with their collaboration Uptown Funk.
Many Triple J loving bogans took to social media to express their horror about Bruno Mars polluting their precious countdown.
Triple J said the poll received over two million votes.
Rage will air the Hottest 100 this weekend.
