Top 10 DJs in Argentina: Hernán Cattáneo Holds Off Brigado Crew in a Six-Genre Field

Argentina's Top 10 by credit score covers a lot of ground. Melodic house and techno holds the top, trance and techno fill the middle, and house, deep house and drum & bass are spread through the rest. Scores run from 815 at #1 to 646 at #10, a 169-point spread with a few close fights and some clear gaps.

Hernán Cattáneo is #1 with a credit score of 815. He also has the most votes on the list, 6,833. His platform numbers are strong everywhere: 691,149 Instagram followers, 297,071 Spotify followers, 249,755 SoundCloud followers and 253,309 Spotify monthly listeners. He has no obvious weak spot.

The nearest challenger is Brigado Crew on 806, 9 points behind the leader. Brigado Crew has 6,212 votes, the second-highest total in the Top 10. Its reach on platforms is smaller: 88,243 Spotify monthly listeners and 78,227 Instagram followers. That shows the ranking rewards more than audience size.

The top two both play Melodic House & Techno, and the genre shows up again lower down. Agustin Giri is #9 with 673 and 4,573 votes. That makes melodic the only genre family with three entries.

TAICHU is #3 with 774 and 5,711 votes. She is the only house artist in the Top 10. She has the highest Spotify monthly listener count on the list at 1,057,695, along with 214,000 YouTube subscribers, 431,598 Instagram followers and 80,483 Last.fm listeners. Her streaming numbers are high across the board, and she still ranks third. Streaming reach clearly counts, but it doesn't decide the order.

Trance takes the next two places. Tomas Heredia is #4 with 750 and 5,617 votes, and has 31,702 Last.fm listeners and 28,976 Spotify monthly listeners. Heatbeat is #5 with 728.

Heatbeat has 6,006 votes, more than either TAICHU or Heredia, yet ranks below both. This is the clearest case on the list of high vote volume not translating into a higher place. Heatbeat also has 51,268 Spotify followers and 32,933 SoundCloud followers.

The closest gap in the Top 10 is between #5 and #6. Jonas Kopp is #6 with 727, one point behind Heatbeat. Kopp has 4,596 votes and 111,220 Spotify monthly listeners. His 6,312 Resident Advisor followers are the highest RA figure among the artists who have one listed.

Julian Sanza is #7, the second techno act in the Top 10, with 706 and 4,643 votes. He is the only artist here with a festival count on record: 8.

Ariel is #8 with 684 and 4,430 votes, the list's only deep house artist. Giri follows 11 points back at #9.

Yatuza closes the countdown at #10 with 646. He is the only drum & bass artist in the Top 10 and has the lowest vote count on the list, 2,634. He is 27 points behind Giri, the second-biggest gap between neighbors after the 32 points separating #2 and #3.

No single sound dominates. Ten entries cover six genre families, and melodic is the only one with more than two. The order also doesn't follow any one number. The vote leader is #1, but the third-highest vote total belongs to the #5 act, and the biggest Spotify audience sits at #3. Argentina's Top 10 rewards consistent strength across many measures.
