Leaked results of DJ Mag 2009 Final Results
Hey everyone, the staff here at TDM has gotten access to some of the leaked results for the DJ Mag 2009 finalists. Here is a list of the top 150 artists that were most popular in this year’s polling. And the winner this year is…. Armin van Buuren again! Congratulations to Armin for the hat trick of 3 years in a row at #1 after many years at #3. A lot of people hate on him because of his popularity and increasing mainstream-ness (is that even a word?), but if you really sit down a second and take a look at the energy, tracklist selection, and enthusiasm he brings to ALL of his live events, there is no doubt he deserves his spot. As for some of the other DJ’s, I cannot say the same and I share others’ sentiments when they say it’s merely a popularity contest. I’m just here to remind you that even though Armin may be popular, his contributions to trance (while maybe not as significant in the productions side this year) eclipse most artists. And at the end of the day, this is a voting contest about DJ prowess is it not? So without further ado, here is the top 150 and their respective changes from last year.
