I honestly didn’t see it coming. David Guetta? I figured he would have topped out at number 2 but I guess working with lots of commercial rap/r&b/pop singers will get you more votes. I hope this doesn’t start a bigger trend of more commercial music that we already have in our massively expanding dance music scene. Well congrats to David Guetta and cheers to Armin van Buuren for a great run!

Left behind were a handful of the biggest names dance music has to offer, including Tiesto, John Digweed, Paul Van Dyk, Sasha and Oakenfold.
