Wow, it already happened? This must be the first time I've gone through a single season without seeing a shred of hype or promo for it anywhere. In my own interwebs wanderings, anyway.

The Dutch will never stop voting for them, and since it's pretty much only the Dutch who still think this poll if Very Important, well...

I didn't and in general most don't see this as something important here and besides that, there aren't enough Dutch to vote the other five Dutch DJ's into the top 10.

Hardwell stops DJ-ing as from now.

8 of the Top 10 are Dutch acts. I won't deny they have popularity outside their home country, but if other regions voted heavily for their homegrown favourites (as the UK used to when all those UK DJs consistently won high spots in the poll; see also: Miami landing Markus Schulz consistently high back-in-the-day), I doubt the likes of Don Diablo and Oliver Heldens would crack the Top 10 so easily. Far as I've heard, some of the heaviest marketing for the DJ Mag poll takes place at Dutch mega-events like Tomorrowland. But hey, since DJ Mag never releases their actual polling numbers (too embarrassed by the drop in global participation that isn't run by bot farms?), we'll never know.

? Maybe this helps a little

Both do have almost 3 million followers at FB, that's almost the same as e.g. Paul van Dyk. I can't imagine that many are from Holland.

To be fair these 2 guys are pretty popular. They play peak hour main stage slots at major Festivals.




The real question: How the fuck is the Beatport Top 10 all Tech house/house now, but yet all these "Top" guys still play big room EDM/Electro fart noise drop heavy music
