One of the most talked about moments of the year is undoubtedly the yearly reveal of the Top 100-list of DJ Mag. The ceremony was a great addition to the show and created a group amongst the dance fans who cannot wait to find out who will take the crown each year. Previous winners are, amongst others, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Hardwell and Tiësto, who have all been on the AMF stage in the past. Tiësto, Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren, all a part of the 2022 line-up, got the crown eleven times in total. The DJ Mag Top 100 has played an important part in bringing different DJ's from the worldwide music scene into the spotlights, and many of the previous winners can still be seen in the music charts today.
