Internationally famous DJ, David Guetta, was recently ranked #1 on DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJ List. Many were shocked to see Guetta dethrone Armin Van Buuren, the highest ranking DJ of the previous three years. What makes David Guetta so great? While some DJs manage to find success only among avid nightlife lovers and other DJs choose to become more mainstream, Guetta finds ways to continue appealing to both audiences.

European nightlife lovers have been enjoying Guetta since the 1980s when he worked solely as a nightclub DJ. Guetta continued spinning throughout the 90s, but didn't become a recording artist until 2002.

Guetta who has been gaining popularity since he released his first the early 2000s, became a regular household name for all music lovers when he released When Love Takes Over in 2009. The song featured vocals by Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child fame. The song kept the beats Guetta's long time followers craved and also had the right elements to shine on both dance charts and pop charts in multiple countries.

David Guetta continues to turn up the heat by working with famous recording artists ranging from Jennifer Hudson to Taio Cruz to Usher. The successful Guetta produces, writes and continues to perform live DJ gigs at some of the hottest clubs in the world. The DJ even has two Grammy Awards under his belt.

The DJ Magazine Top 100 List is an important yearly release looked forward to by house music fans and DJs alike. Other DJs who were honored in the top 10 include Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren and Avicii.
