IT’S HERE IT’S HERE! Oh it’s like Christmas morning to the EDM community and we all got hand-delivered something we have been waiting for since summer started and the polls opened: DJ Mag has released their 2013 results for the top 100 DJs in the world.

It has been speculated that Hardwell would take the top spot. His new documentary centers on his dream to be the #1 DJ in the world. Toward the last few days before the results were released, Hardwell started comparing his ranking spots over the years to his mentor, Tiesto. According to a picture he had posted, Hardwell and Tiesto both took the same numbered positions in three years, from #24, to #6 to #1. At the documentary premier during ADE on Thursday night, other DJs were asked if Hardwell would win and they said yes. Tiesto even announced it a day before the winners were announced, that’s how sure he was. Hardwell was very confident throughout the entire competition, so much so that he was one of the only DJs I saw to actively post about awaiting the results.



This shows how influential social media can be: for the first time, DJ’s took to their Facebook pages, Twitter accounts and even Instagram accounts to remind everyone to vote.

2013 was very huge for EDM. With one sold-out festival after another and historic news headlines and the bigger embrace from the rest of the world, it’s clear that this competition is going to become more popular each year.

The full list can be viewed here along with a questionnaire and summary for each artist under their rank.
