The results of DJ Mag's fabled 'Top 100 DJ's' annual poll have been leaked reportedly placing Armin Van Buuren at the summit for the third straight year.
The official announcement will be made at midnight tonight during the poll party at London's Ministry Of Sound where van Buuren and other entries including David Guetta will be performing.
Guetta himself moves up from fifth on the list to number three, swapping places with Paul Van Dyk with trance trio Above and Beyond staying in fourth. Perennial high finisher Tiesto is also a non-mover remaining as runner up.
Elsewhere Deadmau5 who like Guetta has enjoyed a very high profile 2009, broke into the top ten at number six whilst Gareth Emery continues to soar year on year having jumped up 14 places to ninth.
Regulars Ferry Corsten, Markus Shulz, and Sander van Doorn round out the top flight in seventh, eighth and tenth respectively.
Outside the top ten there were more severe fluctuations as mainstream long-stays generally fell down the order including Carl Cox, Eric Prydz and Judge Jules.
However both Cosmic Gate and Steve Angello moved up 43 places to 19th and 20th after enjoying a stellar twelve months.
