Popularity contest lol. In terms of who is producing a lot of good shit very quickly right now, look at Alesso, Avicii, Otto Knows... David Guetta at number 1 because he enjoyed a lot of radio time with Britney Spears and Little wayne etc. lol

They aren't trying to make the perfect mix anymore, they just want to make as much money as possible before they get old.

So I don't really agree with the list, but as a popularity contest I think this is probably pretty accurate.


This is true partially, just look at Tiesto.

Edit: Avicii ranked 6, I'm ok with this.

David Guetta no1 LOLWTF

Oh well, it was a popularity contest where facebook votes had a part in. Nice to see Deadmau5 in the top 5 and not surprised about AVB making 2. Grats to Skrillex too and a lot of other DJs.
End my suffering

People like Armin and Tiesto are allready super millionaires no idea why they keep going when they basically have admitted themselves that they have no musical integrity left.

And it's only really a accute depiction of the internet fanbase. Trance is very minor in the real clubbing world (maybe a few clubs per city that invite majo trance acts a few times a year) yet in this pole like 30 of the top 50 are Trance DJs

David Guetta introduced electromusic to the masses and that is not a bad thing. If you look at most of the music charts, you will see in everyone is at least two david guetta songs.

I think that is one of the main reason why he won and deserve it.

Long cartoon on DJ worship, these sorts of things are popularity contests for braindead fans. For me, personally, the music is far more important than the person behind the decks!

Armin said on Dutch television yesterday that while he'd love to win again, he was expecting David Guetta to take it. Me, I'm glad to see Afrojack rising in the ranks and Deadmau5 staying at #4, that's amazing.

How do you rank Djs? Isn't music pretty subjective? Do they go based on record sales? Or the amount of drug induced hipsters you can coral into an enclosed space?

Skrillex in the top 100? IMO he shouldn't even be qualified as a DJ. This is a great video showing just that. One song playing the entire time and doing almost nothing to that one song. I have saw him when he toured with deadmau5 and he was decent but that was before he blew up. Seen him at 2 festivals after he has blown up and he was absolutely terrible. But, that is just my opinion......people like AVB and tiesto deserve #1 and #2
