DJ Mag has officially announced the results of the Top 100 DJs 2025 poll, with French superstar David Guetta reclaiming the No.1 spot. This marks his fifth career win, placing him alongside Martin Garrix and
Armin van Buuren as one of only three DJs in history to achieve such a milestone.
Fourteen years after his first win in 2011, Guetta continues to dominate the global stage with a relentless schedule of monthly releases and high-profile collaborations with Afrojack, Martin Garrix, Fatboy Slim, Sia, and more. His versatility shined in 2025, ranging from trap and hip-hop crossovers to melodic and house-driven projects.
This year also saw Guetta launch his most ambitious Ibiza residency yet, Galactic Circus at [UNVRS], where he played extended sets blending deep house and tech house. On the global stage, his futuristic live show The Monolith captivated audiences at massive venues like AlUla in Saudi Arabia and the Stade de France.
For the first time in history, the No.1 DJ title was awarded live in Ibiza, with Guetta delivering a headline set alongside legends including Armin van Buuren, Boris Brejcha, Indira Paganotto, and Miss Monique.
The 2025 edition of the Top 100 DJs poll also partnered with Bridges for Music, raising funds to support young people in music education — an initiative kicked off by Martin Garrix’s donation of £34,000.
What the result represents
DJ Mag’s ranking is a public-vote poll rather than a technical assessment of DJ ability. Guetta’s result reflects global visibility, touring reach and the continued scale of his audience. It should be read as a measure of popularity and impact within the poll’s format, not as the only definition of artistic quality.
