Make no mistake about it, these DJ’s are on this list for a reason. Some people would attest saying that they do not belong, but to be honest, these DJ’s worked very hard to get where they are. Even though this list is based more off of popularity than talent, at the end of the day, they still worked to get there. Hardwell took to Twitter earlier to thank his fans for voting him into the number one spot for a second year in a row.
