DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs Poll 2012 Result: Shocks, Drops and Scandals

So, the results are finally known in DJ Magazine’s ever controversial Top 100 DJs Poll. Armin van Buuren has retaken his crown tonight, the first DJ ever to move back to the #1 spot and a record breaking 5^th top ranking for the Dutch legend too.

When David Guetta won in 2011 he was clearly people’s champion with a slew of chart hits, but critics (particularly Facebook trance trolls) hated the fact that his votes might have come from pop fans, people who had never set foot on a real club dancefloor.

Armin’s reinstatement at the top after such passionate campaigning for votes by his legions of followers should hopefully calm their accusations that the poll is ‘fixed’ and decided simply by the number of Facebook fans a DJ has. Yet 2012 has not been without plenty of upset.

 

DJ Mag Top 100 DJs 2012: Polls Open

And the polls are officially open!! From now until August 29th 2012 you can log in to the Top 100 poll (http://apps.facebook.com/topdjsvote) on Facebook and vote for up to 5 DJs in order of preference. As always, it's a diffcult task to name only 5 since there're so many good dj's and producers out there we're to bound to leave someone good out of our top 5. But hey, that's a good thing, it's a sign that electronic music is being delivered in quality and quantity and we can't ever have enough of that.

DJ's Mag Top 100 is the official ranking of DJ's, or, as Armin Van Buuren called it "the Oscars for dance music". Who's gonna top this year list? Will David Guetta retain is #1 spot, or, will we have a new #1? I guess it all depends on you, and on your vote.
