Re: RA Poll: Dj Top100

Funny I had a look on there, they have Tiesto, PVD, David Guetta and many others that a far more popular in their DJ pages.Now when DJ's that pull big numbers at every event they do and don't make it even into the Top 100 there is something seriously wrong somewhere. Your last 5 words said it all The Site Decides To Cover

the site doesn't cover it just doesn't advertise or have the same advertisement as other polls

So what your actually saying is that it represents DJ you actually like so therefore it has more credibility. So you know this carries more weight with Promoters unlike the DJ Mag . Promoters don't make money making disisons based on the RA poll over any other poll unless they are morons. The DJ Mag poll covers a wider spectrum of the EDM comunity and therefore covers a truer reflection of the voting public whether you like the results or not. Personaly I think they are both manipulated, but RA more credible, I don't think so. You would get a far better reflection on who is the most popular DJ by looking at how much money they earn a year soley from gigs. Promoters will pay big money for a DJ that gets people through the door over one who charts high in some poll.

Yeah true. As a half-promoter myself, i have some idea about the dj fees and i can tell you, if we ignore all those trance/house popstars, the top10 would be really something [ms] community would pretty much like.

Really I got all the hits from all the DJ's asking for their vote as usual.

Chunky,

You might have misread me, or I might have expressed myself unclearly.

I didnīt say this one carries more weight with promoters than the DJ Mag one. For the large majority of them, it will actually carry less.

I said that unlike the DJ Mag poll, the RA poll presents more opoortunities to the DJs I like getting visibility, than the DJ Mag one.

Anyway, I stand by what I said, that as reflections of the publicīs preferences, these polls do have weight, the point is that they are directed at, and voted by, different types of public, with only partial overlap.

However, I would agree that this overlap tends to grow, as RA is less and less "unerground", and more and more subject to PR influencing.

EDIT : and by the way, I know for a fact that, at least in my country, these polls are taken as guides by promoters for who they choose to book.
