The results of the DJ Mag Top 100 2018 have arrived and as we did it the last years, we take a deeper look to the Trance Artists who made it into the Top 100! Looking to all these discussions about genres, popularity and artists we don’t want to participate in, we only want to honor the artists who represent the Trance genre in this poll!
With Armin van Buuren (4), Vini Vici (34) and ATB (49) three Trance acts made it in the Top 50!
Even if Armin lost his 3rd place from 2017, he stays in the Top 5 for the seventeenth year now. Congratulations Armin for this result! Matan Kadosh & Aviram Saharai aka Vini Vici increased to 34 after their first entry in the poll last year on 72! Congrats guys! ATB completes the Trance trio in the Top 50 on 49 (after 54 in 2017)! Congrats, Andre!
Jono, Paavo & Tony have left the Top 50 and have reached 51 (after 47 in 2017). Congrats guys! Above & Beyond are followed directly from Jeffrey Sutorius on 52, who announced the comeback under his own name only two months before. His former project Dash Berlin isn’t ranked in the Top 100 anymore (after 20 in 2017) which can be for sure seen as a result of the conflict and split with Jeffrey this year.
Paul van Dyk (55 after 51 in 2017), Aly & Fila (74 after 53 in 2017), Andrew Rayel (67 after 79 in 2017) and Ferry Corsten (75 after 90 in 2017) are still part of the Top 100! MaRLo (now 88 after 128 in 2017), Markus Schulz (now 93 after 126 in 2017) and Bobina (now 94 after 138 in 2017) have made their return. DJ Shogun (after 88 in 2017 and 42 in 2016) has finally left the Top ranking. For artists like Arty, Solarstone, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Cosmic Gate and many others you look in vain in the Top 100.
Overall we find 12 Trance artists in the listing which is for sure an improvement to 2017 (with 10 Trance artists ranked in the Top 100)! So it’s important for us to congratulate all trance artists for their reached places in the ranking and their achievement to represent Trance in the DJ Mag Top 100 2018!
Let us know! What do you think about this years results of the DJ Mag Top 100?
