The Triple J Hottest 100 is an annual music poll, based on the votes of national Australian youth radio station Triple J listeners, in order to determine their favourite song of the year. Voting is conducted by SMS and the internet and begins on the new year for the previous year's songs. The 100 most popular songs are then counted down on Australia Day weekend - usually Australia Day itself, January 26.
The poll attracts over half a million votes every year (500,000 in 2004, 600,000 in 2005, 671,024 in 2006, 700,000 in 2007 and 800,000 in 2008). It is the world's largest music poll. It began as a write-in poll;[1] it then progressed to phone in, then they started listing the songs for the year so it could be done automatically via SMS and web voting. In 2003, it was only possible to vote on the Triple J web site; registration was required and limited to 10 votes. In 2004 this was expanded to 10 internet votes, and 10 SMS votes.2008#1 - Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire
