Christopher Lawrence has a HUGE fanbase. Way bigger then some of you realize. He plays everywhere from the States to the top clubs in the UK and Ireland to places like China. Have you guys seen his schedule over the past year? It rivals that of of the likes of Sasha or Armin.
Carl Cox is an amazing DJ, but he's already been in the Top 10 since the very first Top 100 poll (he was ranked number one back then). So it's actually a bit surprising (in a pleasant way) that he's still ranked so high after all these years.
As for the whole Ameri-centric "it's the yanks fault" crap, STOP! If you think back a few years ago back to when DJ Tiesto moved up from number 27 to number 6, a lot of people in America (especially the old schoolers) were scratching their heads and wondering who this DJ is, and why he's suddently ranked so high. They couldn't believe he was Top 10 while legendary American Trance DJ Kimball Collins wasnt on the list. They figured it was a poll conducted by a British magazine, and that he must be really popular with the Brits. I believe it was the year John Digweed was at the top of the list, while Oakenfold was still voted number on BPM's poll.
Morillo is highly popular in Ibiza, NYC, and Miami, Italy, Paris, but there's also a lot of places he doesn't play. How often does he get booked to play in American cities like Tampa or Cincinatti? He is after all an American DJ. Well guess what - guys like DJ Dan and Christopher Lawrence do get booked in cities like Kansas City, Salt Lake City, and so on. There's more to the States then just NYC and Miami, and there's more to the world than just Ibiza, London, and Amsterdam.
There are several American House DJs that do very well in America's major cites as well as the medium sized ones - Bad Boy Bill (who in the past was voted as America's Favorite DJ in BPM Magazine), Richard Vission, and DJ Dan. Both Bad Boy Bill and Dan also spin in places outside the US.
Having said all that, I too can't understand how DJ Amadeus, who only plays at clubs in NYC, has debuted so high. |
Excellent post. +1

I don't think anyone realizes...DJ Dan is also a real estate agent. Do you know the type of market saturation he can get? Buy a house from him and there's a ballot for the top 100, I think it went something like this.
Wife: "Oh hey look sweetie! Dan's on here...how fun!"
Husband: "Dan?! Who the hell's Dan?"
Wife: "The real estate agent that sold us the house."
Husband: Oh! Let's vote for him!"
Repeat x number of houses/apartment/condos sold in the NorCal/San Francisco area = #5 DJ in top 100 poll. I can see right through your little game Dan! |

I myself did not expect DJ Dan to be in the Top10. This certainly was influenced by US and Canadian voters. Last year we had atb in the Top10 and that was influenced by German voters.
So, finally - there is nothing wrong with the result - radio show moderators, producers and live DJ's with an explicit "DJmag focus" are high on the list now... |
