Each year, a fair share of tracks come along accompanied by a video that becomes etched into the minds of viewers.
Fairfax Media has compiled a list of 10 music videos from tracks that have featured in the countdown over the years.
We want you to tell us in the voting box below, which video from this list is your favourite?
- Gotye featuring Kimbra: Somebody That I Used To Know
The 2011 hit for Wally De Backer (aka Gotye) has been a YouTube sensation; the video has been viewed on his channel almost 600 million times. The video features Gotye and Kimbra painted by Adelaide-based artist Emma Hack, who is known for her work in body painting.
- Bjork: It’s Oh So Quiet
Polling at number five in the 1995 countdown, the Icelandic singer’s hit It’s Oh So Quiet was quite the pop sensation. Choreographed dancing, umbrellas and a delightfully breezy Bjork, what more could you ask for?
- The Cranberries: Zombie
The band's lead singer, Dolores O'Riordan, was dripping in gold in the video that accompanied the countdown's number one song in 1994.
- Powderfinger: My Happiness
A metal slinky was the star in Powderfinger’s chart topper My Happiness. The track won the countdown in 2000.
- Mark Ronson and The Business International featuring Boy George and Andrew Wyatt: Somebody To Love Me
Big hair, crazy outfits and a whole heap of fun was depicted in the video to this song. The clip was shot to appear as if it were compiled from a home video in the early '80s. The song placed at number 10 in the 2010 countdown.
- Silverchair: Freak
The video lived up to its name; a woman’s skin was rejuvenated from the sweat of the band members. Freak placed 13th in the 1997 countdown.
- OutKast: Hey Ya!
OutKast seemingly made Polariods cool again with the band's reference to the then-defunct photo medium in their hit Hey Ya! The single from their double album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below placed second in the 2003 countdown.
- Franz Ferdinand: Take Me Out
The winning track from the 2004 countdown, Take Me Out, featured references to an early 20th century art movement, Dadaism.
- Florence + The Machine: Dog Days Are Over
A camera, a trip into the woods and a whole bunch of crazy activity. Oh, and there's even some glitter throwing, before Ke$ha made it popular. The track placed 10th in the 2009 countdown.
- Lana Del Ray: Video Games
Vintage footage, puffy lips and big hair were some of the features in the film clip to Video Games - the lead single from Lana's album Born To Die. The track placed sixth in the 2011 countdown.
