David Guetta Makes History as the First Six-Time No.1 in DJ Mag Top 100 DJs 2026

The results are in. DJ Mag has revealed its Top 100 DJs 2026, and David Guetta has been voted the world's No.1 DJ for a record sixth time. He pulls clear of five-time winners Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren to become the first artist ever to top the poll six times. Garrix holds at #2, Anyma rockets up 7 places to #3, and Alok lands at #4 to complete a Top 10 that mixes big-room icons with melodic techno and house heavyweights.

The No.1: David Guetta

The numbers around Guetta in 2026 are hard to comprehend: 5 billion streams, the official FIFA World Cup 2026 anthem, and three historic sold-out shows at Paris' Stade de France, among much more. Despite all this, he keeps his job simple: "My role is to try to make people happy and forget their problems. This is an important role, and I take it very seriously." Congratulations, David Guetta!
