The DJMag annual top 100 DJ list has had it’s fair share of controversy over the past couple of months, and with today’s unveiling of the new 2012 list, we can only assume it’s headed for more. While the list is not surprising on many fronts, there are a handful of questionable inclusions and omissions. For instance, we LOVE (read: worship) Daft Punk, but in all fairness, where did they DJ in 2012?

In an interview with Seven Vegas’ Deanna Rilling, outspoken Robbie Rivera said a few weeks back, “The new generation loves this Top 100 “bullshit list,” is what I call it. Really, seriously. I haven’t been on that list since I stopped advertising with DJ Mag. I have not been in the Top 100. When I was advertising all the Juicy Parties, I was always in the Top 100. What a coincidence! We all know the list is fake, and you can tell by a lot of the people that are there. So, I think the list is bullshit. Put it this way, I still work every single weekend and I get paid really well to do it, and I’m not on the list. So what’s the big deal? Now, we all know who is going to be on the list this year because it’s changed: Whoever has more Twitter followers, whoever has more likes on Facebook will probably get more. It’s such a long conversation. I try to not give a shit about it—I don’t really go by it, let’s put it that way. If I am in it, great. If not, whatever. For me, if your song is getting played on dance radio worldwide, that’s more important than being on a stupid list.”

The list, released today, is below. You can draw your own conclusions as to how the list was generated; was it politics or talent? We’d love to hear your feedback below.
