it's neither fake nor fickle. it's about global popularity & who exactly is voting.

if it was fake the results would be fabricated or wrong. and seeing as tiesto has had huge success with TIC following his previous #1s it would be hard to disagree, even in spite of him not producing his own tunes and arguably poor mixing.

it is only as fickle as the voters are, there is not constant change as the top 10 is fairly consistent and the only great movements are made due to greater exposure or otherwise furthur down the chart.

by exposing mikey to the top 250 (fingers crossed) it shows that the system is flawed in such a way that anybody with no real credentials in regard to a dj chart appearance (sorry mikey lol) can make it there.

it is a direct form of voting, and those who are influenced by which ever dj vote that way... whether it be clueless individuals who have never seen the dj live or whether it be die hard fans, that's the way the system works. the advertising is very similar to political broadcasts in the uk as you are fully aware ian, and as certain factions gain support in certain areas it can be illustrated in relation to others.

if mikey has indeed make the top 250 it does show that TA has the potential to skew the vote and create a bit of ruckus in the process i'm all for that. i hope he gets a few gigs from it too! but until a "fairer" (and i use that term loosely) voting system can be established, this expolitation can happen.

and if the voting populous deem pvd to be #1, that is the way it goes

excellent post mate, pretty much put what i think into a comprehendable structure which i couldnt be arsed to do. All the haters of the poll need to read this as do all the people that think this is the be all and end all of everything.

but yet you are an Armin fan. Doesnt make sense really.

apologies if you are not an AvB fan, too many ppl posting in this thread!

I'm glad pvd finally won it. Though his style has been sub-par these last few years, he definitely deserves it, if for no other reason than his past contributions. I would have liked to see Sasha take the prize again (surprise surprise) but we all knew that wasn't gonna happen.

So...

Cheers to tijs losing first place

i was extremely amused to see their website today, they're now selling above & beyond earplugs - which is surprisingly on the money: earplugs are exactly what you need if you have to listen to a&b.
