It is that time of the year once again when the dance music world shift focus towards the annual yet highly controversial Top 100 DJs Rankings which is held by DJ Mag. With one of electronic music’s biggest events aka ADE already underway, the long running polls are once again under the spotlight, thanks to the results which have been announced today.
While 2016 saw Martin Garrix dethrone Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike to become the youngest ever DJ to grab the #1 spot for the first time in his prolific career, this year’s list has its own share of shocks and surprises to provide fans with. Bagging the top position for a second year running, Dutch prodigy Martin Garrix has been crowned #1 in 2017, followed by the Belgian brothers who haven’t moved from #2 either. With Armin Van Buuren who has now climbed to the #3 spot while also causing Hardwell go down to #4, we see the likes of Afrojack, Tiesto, Marshmello, Steve Aoki and David Guetta round up the top 10 alongside The Chainsmokers who are up 12 spots to secure the #6 spot, and become the highest ranked Live Act and American Act. While we also need to take note of the absence of Indian DJs from the list, you can check out the full list of Top 100 below!
Let us know what you think of this year’s results in the comments.
