Top 100 DJs 2006
Results
The results of the most important poll in dance music. A staggering 217,102 dance music fans voted in DJmag's 2006 Top 100 DJs poll. That's 90,000 more than last year and a true indication that dance music is still a massive global phenomenon.
The truly global reach of DJ culture was once again highlighted with votes coming in from 229 different countries (there are only 243 recognised countries in the world).
The USA provided the most votes in 2006, closely followed by the UK, and then Germany. But there was also a sharp increase in voters from Brazil, Israel and Canada. The next 150 DJs who didn't make it into the poll will be revealed exclusively on DJmag.com on 8 November 2006.
