TAYLOR Swift fans appear likely to win their 11th-hour campaign to shake up the Triple J Hottest 100 according to a spoiler countdown.

The Social Hottest 100 claims Swift’s Shake It Off will make the cut after analysing 20,000 voting posts for the annual music poll.

But she is nowhere near the top in their results with the inescapable hit coming in at No. 75 on their calculations.

The coveted top spot goes to wildly popular duo Peking Duk with their award-winning summer anthem High, featuring Nicole Millar.

The electronic music nice guys also land at No. 5 with their follow-up hit Take Me Over, featuring Safia.

Australian artists appear to have dominated this year’s voting with the expected suspects polling two or more songs in the voting, which Triple J claims is the biggest music poll in the world.

The Social Hottest 100 calculates the current king of electronica, Chet Faker, will have four songs in the list, including two in the top five, with Talk Is Cheap (No. 2) and 1998 (No. 3).

Sydney indie rock brats Sticky Fingers will also be celebrating multiple entries with Gold Snafu expected to land the highest but just miss out on the top 10.

The end of year chart slayer Uptown Funk, by Mark Ronson and featuring Bruno Mars was a late favourite to take out No. 1 but will have to be satisfied with a top 10 result according to social media predictions.

Other Australian artists with multiple songs making the prestigious list include Hilltop Hoods, Meg Mac, Ball Park Music, Allday, Thundamentals and Kingswood.

International alternative acts to catch the ears of Triple J fans over the past year include Chvrches, Alt-J, Royal Blood, Childish Gambino, Lorde and Banks.

Last year’s Warmest 100 spoiler countdown which also analysed social media vote posts correctly predicted Vance Joy would win with Riptide last year.

Triple J will reveal the official Hottest 100 on Australia Day.
