The results of the Top 100 DJs list is based on public votes, with this year's poll receiving a total of 1.3 million votes across the globe. This is the French DJ's third time receiving the number one title – a feat only achieved by a few. Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren came in second and third.

"I’m so proud to be a part of this amazing industry and can’t express my gratitude to everyone who voted me your No.1 DJ for the second year in a row. It means so much. I’ve been working really hard this year, we took United at Home to new heights, finally reunited on the dance floor and I’ve released more music than ever. It’s been amazing to play new music live and the energy and reactions from the crowd is what keeps me going after all these years," said the 'Heartbreak Anthem' act.

"Music is my passion and to be able to live that every day is all thanks to my fans. I’d like to thank my team, and all of the artists and producers I’ve been working with the past year. I’m so grateful to all the DJs who have been supporting my music. We’ve built a culture with my Future Rave sound together with MORTEN and Future Rave 2.0 is on the way. After being back on stage, at clubs and festivals, I have the feeling that dance and electronic music is coming back stronger than ever." 

The list of DJs who made the cut for the poll was announced at the Top 100 DJs Awards in Amsterdam.

Asia was the second-highest continent with DJs making the list. South Korean DJ Peggy Gou also received the Highest Climber Award for moving up 31 places to number 38 this year.
