DAVID GUETTA WINS DJ MAG TOP 100 DJS 2021
The results for the Top 100 DJs 2021 poll have been announced
David Guetta has won the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll 2021. Guetta has retained the No.1 spot that he claimed last year, a decade after he was first crowned the world’s No.1 DJ back in 2011.
The Frenchman now joins an elite grouping of Dutch DJs — Martin Garrix, Tiësto and Armin van Buuren — who have won the Top 100 vote three times or more.
“It’s wonderful, I’m so happy,” David said to DJ Mag about his win. “To do it two times in a row as well — it’s the third time, but two times in a row is pretty crazy. It’s been an incredibly busy year for me, but it’s always nice when you work hard to feel like people can see it.
“I’ve been doing this for so many years, since I was playing funk records as a teenager. It’s amazing to be able to pursue your passion, and I just hope — cos I also started from nothing — that being No.1 after all these years is an inspiration to kids that are bedroom DJs like I was.”
As part of this year’s Top 100 DJs campaign, DJ Mag once again held Virtual Festivals every Saturday and Sunday during the voting period. The streams — which included sets from David Guetta, KSHMR, Timmy Trumpet and Miss K8 — racked up well over 5.7 million views in total.
The Top 100 DJs results were announced live on stage at the Top 100 DJs Awards, presented by AMF, which took place at Amsterdam’s AFAS Live. Guests at the event — and the millions watching the live stream around the world — were treated to performances from Afrojack, Alan Walker, Armin van Buuren (Highest Trance DJ), Avalan, Christina Novelli, Don Diablo (Highest Future House DJ), Carnage/GORDO (Highest Returning DJ), Mariana BO, MORTEN (Highest New Entry), Oliver Heldens and W&W.
Also announced during the Top 100 DJs Award show were two editorial choice awards, selected by DJ Mag’s editors to recognise the contribution of artists making a significant impact outside the scope of Top 100 DJs voting. Japanese artist Qrion — whose rise since debuting on Anjunadeep in 2019 has been meteoric — was presented with the Future Star award. Detroit techno architect Kevin Saunderson — fresh from rebooting his E-Dancer project with a remix album on Drumcode and appearing on the cover of DJ Mag North America — was given the Lifetime Achievement award.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected a lot of elements of the international electronic dance music scene, but it doesn’t seem to have dented the enthusiasm of dance music fans — an incredible 1.3 million people voted in the Top 100 DJs poll this year, matching last year’s total, cementing Top 100 DJs position as the biggest music poll in the world.
Most voters in this year’s Top 100 DJs came from prime clubbing age ranges, with 40% of votes coming from 18-24-year-olds and 40% from the 25-34 age range. However, with clubs and festivals still closed or cancelled for most of the year, a lot of participants in the poll clearly based their votes on live-streamed sets or past favourites.

Tomorrowland One World Radio is launching a weekly TV show on Clubbing TV.
Airing each Saturday, the show will compile one hour of some of the biggest Tomorrowland hits, played at the summer, winter and digital editions of the famed festival.
The next episode, which will air on 9th October at 9pm CET, will include tracks by the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Tiësto, David Guetta and Joris Voorn, among others.
Speaking about the link-up, Clubbing TV CEO Stephane Schweizer said: "We are not only very proud but super excited to have Tomorrowland One World Radio on Clubbing TV. The show is fitting perfectly in our diversified playlist as One World Radio is representing all genres of the electronic music scene, so Clubbing TV is. The team behind the project has managed to put in images of The Sound of Tomorrowland in an amazing way and we cannot wait to share this with our viewers every week."
Tomorrowland's One World Radio celebrated two years since its launch in February of this year, airing sets from Armin van Buuren, Afrojack and more.
It was recently revealed that Tomorrowland organisers are hoping to stage a three-weekend event in the summer of 2022, to make up for the cancelled editions of the last two years as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
