| I think those lists are more indicitive of who read DJMag during those years than actual popularity of those DJs/Producers. |

Obviously its indictive of who read DJMag, but I think its definately a good representitive. Tiesto isn't even on the list in 1999. That should be enough on its own. |

Personally I think mixmag etc harm the bloody scene.
They are always raving about some utter moron who is the next big thing, etc.
Then they'll slate something that's actually quite good.
Too interested in being seen as being the cutting edge of cool, always 10 light years ahead of the world. That they end up missing all the dog turds they stand in. |

It's a representation. If you want to sum up something so briefly, just look at what goes on MOS compilations, as they outsell DJ Mag anyway and represent physical sales rather than the opinion of Internet idiots. At one time of day, Trance Nation was the MOS's biggest selling series outside The Annual (which they also crammed full of trance). There hasn't been a Trance Nation for two years and the Annual is now full of house. |

More prosaically, it's indicative of who runs DJMag more than anything else.
In 1999, its owner was Dave Seaman. The top 5? His close friends and buddies.
(I thought it was Mixmag?) |

Ferry stopped doing the MOS cd cause he didn't want to play what they wanted him to...
The Annual was originally house...
Are you arguing that trance is less popular today then it was in 1999? |

In regards to the earlier comments about Reason/Fruity/VSTs causing trance to go to , this is bogus in my opinion.
Guitars and pianos and whatnot have always been in ready supply. That doesn't mean you do or don't know how to make music.
If a producer really sucks, there's another producer out there that's really good. Neither would have been discovered without the readiness of the DAW.
If you gave everyone in the world a guitar at birth, it wouldn't make rock music suddenly suck. |

Look back at the era and you'd see superstar trance DJs on TV, trance compilations grabbing the billboards, trance singles topping the charts (quite literally, outselling every other record in the country for at least a week) and appearing in films (Human Traffic, Kevin & Perry... all youth culture films being trance-centric).

true true - by looking at the mainEst of the mainstream aka Viva & Mtv you can see if a genre is popular or not - around 99/00 you could see a lot of trance videos and stuff... Now you mostly get to see Tokio Hotel and childish rocky-popy-devilish stuff... so its definitely less popular.. |
