David Guetta Crowned World's No. 1 DJ for Record Sixth Time at DJ Mag Awards in Ibiza

October 08, 2026

David Guetta has been crowned the World's No. 1 DJ for a record sixth time after taking the top position in DJ Mag's 2026 Top 100 DJs poll.

The result was revealed on Tuesday, October 6, during DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs LIVE ceremony at [UNVRS] Ibiza, bringing one of the world's biggest DJ polls back to the island for the second consecutive year.

The victory makes Guetta the first artist to win the Top 100 DJs title six times.

A record sixth No. 1

Guetta first reached the top of the DJ Mag poll in 2011.

His latest victory puts him ahead of Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren, who have each won the title five times.

DJ Mag described the 2026 result as another record for the French DJ and producer, who has remained one of the most commercially successful figures in electronic music for more than a decade.

Guetta reacted to the result with surprise and gratitude, telling DJ Mag that becoming a six-time winner was a significant achievement.

The award was revealed in Ibiza

The 2026 Top 100 DJs results were announced during a live ceremony at [UNVRS] Ibiza on October 6.

The event featured performances from Charlotte de Witte, GORDO, Vintage Culture, Lost Frequencies, ANASTAZJA and Korolova, alongside the announcement of the new No. 1 DJ.

After being revealed as the winner, Guetta took to the decks for a special performance.

The ceremony marked the second consecutive year that DJ Mag has brought its Top 100 DJs live event to Ibiza.

234 territories took part

The Top 100 DJs poll is decided by public vote rather than by a judging panel.

DJ Mag reported a record number of verified votes in the 2026 edition, with voting taking place across 234 territories worldwide.

That makes the award a reflection of the global popularity of the artists participating in the poll rather than a formal industry jury ranking.

A huge year for Guetta

Guetta's sixth victory comes after another major year for the French artist.

According to DJ Mag, he added approximately five billion streams during the year and became the first electronic artist to reach 22 No. 1 positions on the US Dance Airplay chart.

He also released music with artists including Jennifer Lopez, Bebe Rexha, Sia, Afrojack and Illenium, while continuing his Future Rave project with MORTEN.

DJ Mag also reported that Guetta's Ibiza residencies sold out faster than ever in 2026.

Guetta's Ibiza season continues

The No. 1 DJ announcement comes during the final days of Guetta's 2026 Ibiza season.

His Galactic Circus residency at [UNVRS] has been one of the major events on the club's second season programme.

Guetta's final Galactic Circus event of 2026 takes place on Friday, October 9, as part of his Closing Weekend.

The lineup includes Guetta alongside MEDUZA B2B Kevin de Vries, Korolova, Volkoder and Jast. The event begins at 23:00.

The following night, [UNVRS] hosts its own Season 2 Closing Party, bringing the club's 2026 season to an end on Saturday, October 10.

Six titles and counting

Guetta's latest victory adds another chapter to a record that has already spanned 15 years.

His first Top 100 DJs victory came in 2011. Fifteen years later, he has become the first DJ to reach six No. 1 finishes.

For Ibiza, the achievement also provides another major international moment for the island's clubbing scene, with the award being announced and celebrated at [UNVRS].

The 2026 Top 100 DJs result once again places Ibiza at the centre of the global electronic music conversation.
