Gold Fields’ single Dark Again (Lights Out) also features on the list along with Twinsy’s Water Bombs which was the third most-played track of 2012 on triple j.
Melbourne-based bands Saskwatch and Money for Rope, who have members originally from Ballarat, also made it to the list.
Triple j’s Hottest 100 is labelled as the world’s biggest musical democracy.
It allows listeners to have a say and vote for their favourite artists and tracks of the year.
The top 100 songs announced on Australia Day 2013.
Last year, Australia voted for Gotye’s Somebody That I Used To Know as the favourite song of 2011, with Angus and Julia Stone’s Big Jet Plane taking out the title in 2010.
