Chet Faker's 'Talk Is Cheap' has topped the annual Triple J Hottest 100 poll, while Taylor Swift was disqualified following an online campaign to include her in the list.

The Triple J Hottest 100 is a prestigious annual music poll based on the votes of the Australian radio station's listeners. The poll attracted just over 2 million votes this year.

Australian musician Chet Faker topped the list with 'Talk Is Cheap', while two more of his songs - 'Gold' and '1998' appeared in the top 10.

Meanwhile Taylor Swift, who would have come in at No.12 on the list, was disqualified after the hashtag #Tay4Hottest100 trend was picked up by KFC and Buzzfeed, which was deemed "trolling" by Triple J and swiftly banned. No pun intended.
