David Guetta has been voted the No. 1 DJ in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs 2026 poll, making history as the first artist to win the title six times.
The result was revealed live at [UNVRS] Ibiza on Tuesday, October 6, during the second consecutive year that DJ Mag has brought its Top 100 DJs ceremony to the island.
Guetta previously topped the public poll in 2011, 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2025. His latest victory moves him ahead of Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren, who have each won the title five times.
A record sixth victory
Guetta's 2026 result represents another milestone in the history of the Top 100 DJs poll.
DJ Mag describes Top 100 DJs as the world's largest publicly voted electronic music poll. This year's edition attracted a record number of verified votes from 234 territories around the world.
The ranking should therefore be understood as a measure of popularity among voters rather than an objective assessment of who is technically the world's best DJ.
For Guetta, however, the result extends a remarkable run at the top of one of dance music's most established annual polls.
The result was revealed in Ibiza
The 2026 results were announced during Top 100 DJs LIVE at [UNVRS] Ibiza.
The event featured performances from Lost Frequencies, Charlotte de Witte, GORDO, Vintage Culture, ANASTAZJA and Korolova, followed by a two-hour headline set from Guetta after he was crowned No. 1.
The ceremony marked the second consecutive year that the Top 100 DJs results have been revealed at [UNVRS].
The venue itself also made history in the 2026 DJ Mag rankings, being named the World's No. 1 Club in its first year of operation.
Martin Garrix remains No. 2 as Anyma climbs
Martin Garrix retained second place in the 2026 poll, while Anyma made one of the biggest moves near the top of the ranking, climbing seven places to No. 3.
Alok took fourth place, followed by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike at No. 5 and Charlotte de Witte at No. 6.
Charlotte also retained her position as DJ Mag's No. 1 Techno DJ for a seventh consecutive year.
Armin van Buuren was No. 7, while Timmy Trumpet, FISHER and Vintage Culture completed the top 10.
A strong year for house and techno
The 2026 results also highlighted the continued popularity of house and techno.
Fred again.. climbed 17 places to No. 16, while John Summit, Mau P and Chris Stussy were joint highest climbers, each rising 22 positions.
The Martinez Brothers climbed 15 places to No. 28, while Indira Paganotto entered the top 30 and became the first recipient of DJ Mag's World's No. 1 Psy DJ award.
Josh Baker was the year's highest new entry, debuting at No. 40.
Guetta's Ibiza season continues
The Top 100 DJs victory arrives as Guetta reaches the final stages of another major Ibiza season.
His two Ibiza residencies in 2026 were F*** ME I'M FAMOUS! at Ushuaïa Ibiza and Galactic Circus at [UNVRS].
According to DJ Mag, both residencies sold out faster than in previous years. His Galactic Circus residency also included his first-ever B2B performance with Carl Cox.
Guetta is scheduled to return to [UNVRS] on Friday, October 9, for the venue's closing party, with MEDUZA B2B Kevin de Vries, KOROLOVA, Volkoder and Jast also on the lineup.
A year of major performances
The Top 100 DJs result comes after another major year for Guetta outside Ibiza.
He performed three sold-out shows at Paris's Stade de France in 2026, with guest appearances including Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, Black Coffee, Jennifer Lopez, Akon, Bebe Rexha and Black Eyed Peas.
The three performances sold more than 240,000 tickets combined, according to DJ Mag.
He has also continued developing his Monolith live show, while working on new collaborations and his Future Rave project with MORTEN.
