It is simply about who is the most popular DJ in the world. Fundamentally it is about democracy - letting the people choose. The Poll does not reflect DJ Mag's tastes, particularly. Mobilizing people to vote for them is a common practice in every democracy. However, we ban DJs from offering incentives. We are keen for DJs to approach their fans - it, generally, means more people voting. There are, of course, DJs who think they are above canvassing for votes - it is usually those ones that bitch about the results! The <a href="http://www.djmag.com/top100djs">Top 100 DJs</a> is the most representative Poll there is, purely based on the numbers of people voting and the countries they're voting from. Once again we don't own the Poll, we don't necessarily approve of the results, we are merely the guardians of a free, democratic forum. The results are announced on Wednesday - come to the <a href="http://djmag.com/news/detail/1976">party</a> The Top 100 DJs is not about whether people deserve to be in it.

But I'm sure that a lot of these DJs deserve to be there. Although I think they get a lot of votes because they send out thousands of mails, facebook and twitter messages just to remind their fans to vote for them. Of course this is nothing bad. Everybody should do that (if they want of course). But on the other hand: Is this representative then? I think polls are never 100% representative. But it's always great to talk about... maybe it's that what DJ Mag wants :)?

The poll represents the popular views of clubbers from all over the world - over 350,000 of them. The Top 10 in the poll are all multi-millionaires - not because of the Poll, but because they are the most popular DJs in the world. DJ Mag is not setting the agenda with who we think are the best DJs in the world - wemerely host a popularity contest. It's not our view, it's the view of hundreds of thousands of dance music lovers - ignore them at your peril.
