David Guetta Is the World's No. 1 DJ Again: a Record Sixth Title in DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs 2026

It happened. On Tuesday 6 October, at Top 100 DJs LIVE at [UNVRS] in Ibiza, DJ Mag crowned David Guetta the World's No. 1 DJ for the sixth time. No artist had ever won the poll six times. Guetta moves clear of Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren, who stay on five titles each, fifteen years after his first win in 2011. The top of the chart. Martin Garrix held No. 2. Anyma climbed seven places to No. 3. Charlotte de Witte rose to No. 6 overall, up from No. 9 last year, and Fred again.. landed at No. 16. DJ Mag reported a record number of verified votes, cast from 234 territories. The genre crowns. Charlotte de Witte is the World's No. 1 Techno DJ again, a seventh year running. FISHER took No. 1 House DJ, Sara Landry No. 1 Hard DJ, Armin van Buuren No. 1 Trance DJ, Indira Paganotto No. 1 Psy DJ, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike the World's No. 1 DJ Group. Luciano received the Outstanding Contribution award and Anastazja was named Future Star. The movers. Josh Baker was the highest new entry, at No. 40. John Summit, Mau P and CHRIS STASSY shared highest climber, each up 22 places. Where to see them next. The new No. 1 headlines Friday at EDC Orlando, November 6-8 at Tinker Field, where Garrix headlines Sunday and Mau P and Josh Baker also play Friday. FISHER and Sara Landry were both on the EDC Korea bill in Incheon the weekend before the result. What the poll measures. The Top 100 is a public vote, not a critics' list or a sales chart. It rewards reach and fan mobilisation as much as the year's music, which is the standing criticism of it. It is also why it remains the most watched night on the dance music calendar: it is the one number the audience gets to set.
