Armin van Buuren back to number one in DJ Mag Top 100!

Armin van Buuren back to number one in DJ Mag Top 100! He’s back. He’s done it again. Armin van Buuren has been voted number one DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 of 2012, making it an historic fifth time as the world’s most popular DJ! We’d like to congratulate Armin with this incredible feat, and thank each and every one of you for your continuous support! Last night, at the DJ Mag Awards Show at the Convention Center in Amsterdam, Armin was awarded for number one DJ, as a reward for his hard work and endless passion for music. In 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, he won the critically acclaimed popularity poll, until David Guetta took over in 2011.

This year, Armin won back the number 1 title, the crown to his accomplishments. Armin:”Dance Music for me is all about sharing. I’d like to share my passion for this kind of music and to get so much recognition from the fans is simply amazing. Even the words ‘thank you’ don’t express my gratitude. I’m overwhelmed… I’d like to dedicate this award to my family and fans. Without you I would be nowhere.” Hot off a busy summer season that included his own weekly night in Ibiza’s Privilege, Armin is now fully focussing on the celebration of the 600th episode of his radio show A State of Trance.
