David Guetta has been named the world’s No. 1 DJ in DJ Mag’s 2025 Top 100 DJs poll for the fifth time, tying the record with Armin van Buuren and Martin Garrix. The awards were revealed at the first live Top 100 DJs event in Ibiza, hosted by Arielle Free, featuring performances from Guetta, van Buuren, and others. Guetta’s win follows a busy 2025 with new collaborations, a residency at [UNVRS], and a shift toward live instrumentation. Armin van Buuren received the Outstanding Contribution Award and was named No. 1 Trance DJ, while Michael Bibi made a high debut at No. 48 following his recovery from cancer. The event supported music education through donations to Bridges for Music, with record voter participation from 231 countries.
