Am I the only person on this board who is intelligent enough to know this is a popularity contest?

The top DJs are the top DJs in terms of popularity. This year's list makes complete sense in that regard.

Starting to question the intelligence of people here...

Even then it's still flawed. I mean even Ron Paul managed to win a few internet polls even though in actuality he's about as popular as the Spanish flu.
It's more a list of DJ's with the most fanatical internet fan-bases.

only person who really stands out as a B.S. entry is Dash Berlin. Otherwise, everything else makes sense.

it amazes me that people still think this is a popularity poll.

any fool can buy facebook accounts and hire coders on freelancer to do the voting for them which is why no name djs can be so high while truly popular djs drop out.

digweed, sasha, zabiela, sanchez etc dont need to buy votes to prove themselves- they prove themselves by filling clubs.

I cringe when I see djs campaigning for dj polls these days, they look desperate.

fortunately more and more djs are coming out and saying they wont campaign in polls anymore.

J00F man, J00F

lol wat

Expecting any of your Favourite DJs to be anywhere "respectable" on the list is like expecting any of these DJs to win Grammys. Outside the EDM catefory obviously (which still gets won by Madonna, Lada Googoo??)

Also, it seems now that Armin has won again, he is the "Lesser of Two+ Evils" to be #1.

Techno Dj's are neglected? How about DRUM & FUCKING BASS ? I voted Andy C and London Electricity, the only D&B dj up there is Netsky but his D&B is not the most root influenced... If this was a real DJ contest without a doubt the best of the best in the Electronic Music scene is Andy C (the guy still spins vinyl big ups for that) and Kutski. I must say, every one thinks dubstep is taking over but looks like they are far from that... MY GOD THATS A LOT OF HARDSTYLE/HARDCORE¥!!!

Everybody seems to love DnB but it's true that there's no reflection in the popularity polls. I like netsky as a producer, listened to a set from him and it was a bit boring but overall well deserved entry.

The amount of hardstyle djs amazes me, didn't know it was so popular.

not really surprising. it had a serious rise in popularity in recent years. i mean just look at the big festivals like EDC or tomorrowland. they had their own stages.
