    Default Why are there so many top dutch djs?

    Yeah, so title says it all really.. In dj mags top 100 there are 4 dutch djs in the top 10 including #1 & #2:
    #1 armin van buuren
    #2 tiësto
    #7 ferry corsten
    #10 sander van doorn

    But why? I mean holland is a very small country with a population of only 16,609,173, rank #61 worldwide (wikipedia)..

    Rest of top 10:
    2 germans (paul van dyk, markus schulz)
    1 from canada (deadmau5)
    2 uk (above+beyond, gareth emery)
    1 france (david guetta)

    Funny how in position 20-40 there is not a single dutchie though relatively many uk
    Well, any input appreciated

    because statistics are completely, utterly meaningless and no one cares.

    Yeah, ive always suspected the guys that run DJ MAG are obsessed with Trance and Big Selling poor House.

    I mean would anyone here have those 4 DJs in their Top 10.

    Ferry Corsten..? Jees we nearly booked him last year for a 400 cap Student venue for a about £1500. How is he in the Top 10 DJs in the world.

    The Mag is lie... apart from the DJ Tech awards (Traktor ftw hahaha)

    I suppose it just bad luck that some of the biggest selling turds are Dutch.

    I wouldnt let it worry you, I still like you and your country men j/k

    personally i wouldnt put those names anywhere near the top of the DJ list. i dunno how they came up with them lists. was it a vote? did they somehow put a value to DJs skill? did they just judge by the amount of records sold? totally worthless list imo.

    maybe the DJmag editors get free flights+stay in amsterdam......

    step 1: possible referral link abuse detailed in online video
    step 2: ???
    step 3: profit


    edit: somewhat offtopic...

    also, if its all votes, who do you think will get the most votes? the guy always on ustream / youtube / mega stars, that constantly gets airtime on xm / evening open set shows?


    or that guy that nearly no one in your city has heard of, except for the heads that dig his music

    A lot of those top "DJs" are that high because of their production skills, not their DJing skills. And that's why the list is a big turd, period. They don't play any original tunes, they don't really dig deep and find that gem from years gone by that flew under the radar and still sounds fresh today.

    Most of the time people who go see those DJ's are expecting them to play all the songs they've produced over the years, and are usually disappointed when they don't.

    this may be my imagination, but there seems to be an alarming amount of discussions on the forum lately about all the worst djs and all the worst dance music.

    eddie halliwell, tiesto, jersey shore soundtrack, justin bieberstep

    wtf guys... seriously. WTF
