Reddit’s List Of Top 100 DJs Is Out, And Its Completely Different From DJ Mag’s Top 100 List

It’s a known fact that not a lot of people agree with DJ Mag‘s annual Top 100 DJ polls. With accusations of buying votes and what not, the polls have been branded as a popularity contest, more than a measure of their talents as a DJ.

In order to provide their own perspective, the closely knit community of electronic music fans on Reddit hold their polls to decide the best DJ, and the result for 2016 is out. With a total of 572 people voting, resulting in 2860 votes, Martin Garrix took the first spot on the list, with The Chainsmokers, Porter Robinson, Hardwell and KSHMR rounding off the Top 5.

Check out the Top 20 here below:

1. Martin Garrix
2. The Chainsmokers
3. Porter Robinson
4. Hardwell
5. KSHMR
6. Marshmello
7. Flume
8. Illenium
9. Skrillex
10. Madeon
11. Dillon Francis
12. Eric Prydz
13. deadmau5
14. Zedd
15. Tiësto
16. Don Diablo
17. Oliver Heldens
18. Galantis
19. DJ Snake
20. Axwell /\ Ingrosso

The grading for the polls was done on the following parameters: 1st place votes received 5 points, 2nd place votes received 4 points, and so-on. Tie breakers were decided by first looking at overall votes and then looking at totals for 1st place votes, then 2nd. Last year’s polls saw Eric Prydz top the list, with Porter Robinson, Martin Garrix, Skrillex and Hardwell rounding off the top 5.
