How to read the year after 2000

Hello dear friends.

I was asked how to read the year 2015 to which I answered: two thousand fifteen. A friend told me she has often heard "twenty fifteen" in an Australian TV show. I believe both are possible though the first seems to come up more often. Will you please enlighten me?

Thank you so much
