Since the list has leaked I thought I'd complete it a bit with some other info supplied by the mag:

345,000 votes (60% increase since last year) from 220 countries came to a concluding 89,393 nominated DJ's

This year has 15 new entries, 12 re-entries, 4 non-movers and 45 DJ's moving up

And like Bennasi before him, once again it proves that it doesn't matter how good of a DJ you are -or even if anyone's heard of you before- just make that one ultra-hit single, and you're set.

To comments which claim DJ Mag is a joke:

I don't know how much you are informed on this subject, but the point of DJ Mag and its rising credibility is seen amongst the promoters, because of the poll report (votes - different people, different IP addresses) they provide to promoters. Therefore, if there is rising number of regular votes, the credibility of DJ Mag amongst promoters will go up too. Promoters search for the DJ lineup which will fill their dancefloor. DJ Mag is probably a poll which provide them most accurate information.

Polls (online or offline), regardless of the people who vote, will never reflect talent or quality of a dj or a producer. The talent/quality is a quite relative perception, and it depends on millions of factors. Even if the talent/quality was absolute value, not everyone will be in situation to get to know all those who share those values - all those dj's and producers. Even famous and wannabe DJ's know nothing about majority of other DJ's who participate in DJ Mag Top 100 Poll. Put it simply like this - even if talent/quality was absolute value there wouldn't be a man who would qualify for accurate judgment.

Another issue I can see here being rised in some posts is that this is not a DJ Poll, but rather Producer poll. You are not very far from the truth, but again, this does not make a difference for promoters.

When did he get reinstated. According to his Myspace he was cleared, but no mention of reinstated

& if u can't spell the name of the DJ correctly.. paul van dyke is my fave <3, then you should get the vote dq'd

So now we have two threads with 2 different poll results, DJ's (producers) moving up or down, and we still argue about the same shit.
Let it go.
