Guetta Wins 1001TL's Top 101 Producers for a 4th Time

Chart positions are from our 1001Tracklists snapshot on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, 7:02 AM PT. "DJs" = unique DJs over the last 4 weeks on 1001Tracklists' weekly chart.

Nobody voted for this one. The DJs decided it with what they actually played, and for the fourth time, the answer is David Guetta.

1001Tracklists revealed its Top 101 Producers 2026 on Monday, and Guetta is No. 1 again after wins in 2019, 2022 and 2023. It's also his eighth straight Top 5 finish.

How the ranking works

It's not a fan poll. 1001Tracklists counts unique DJ support for each producer's tracks between Oct. 1, 2025 and Sept. 30, 2026. A DJ playing the same track again and again counts once, one artist can support another at most five times, and only each producer's 24 best-supported tracks count toward the total. A track also needs support from at least three DJs to qualify.

The 2026 Top 10

1. David Guetta
2. Armin van Buuren
3. Max Styler
4. Vintage Culture
5. Argy
6. GENESI
7. MEDUZA
8. ARTBAT
9. Anyma
10. Prospa

Guetta: still everywhere

1001Tracklists credits his year to the launch of MEN MACHINE with MARTEN HØRGER, his Somebody That I Used To Know rework with ARTBAT, more collaborations with Hypaton, and his FUTURE RAVE partnership with MORTEN on club tracks like Locked In and La Révolution.
