Top 3 DJs in Ukraine: Melodic House & Techno Rules the Rankings
By Imani Brooks·July 29, 2026
If you want to understand where Ukrainian electronic music sits in 2026, you only need one genre tag. All three of the country's top-ranked DJs — Miss Monique, ARTBAT and Korolova — operate in melodic house and techno, and the credit scores that decide this table sit within a tight 62-point band, from 830 to 892. The voting tells the same story: 10,740 to 11,310 votes across the podium, a spread of just 570. This is not a scene with one runaway star and a long tail. It's a peloton.
#3: Korolova — 830 points
Korolova enters the podium with a credit score of 830, built on 10,740 votes. Her streaming base is substantial — 1,387,624 monthly Spotify listeners against 276,057 Spotify followers — numbers that put her comfortably in the international conversation rather than merely the domestic one. Her YouTube channel counts 628,000 subscribers, and she rounds out the profile with 43,340 Last.fm listeners and 5,709 followers on Resident Advisor. The gap to second place is 30 points: real, but hardly a chasm.
#2: ARTBAT — 860 points
ARTBAT lands at second with 860 points and 10,920 votes, and the streaming numbers here are the biggest of the entire top three. A monthly Spotify audience of 3,778,879 — nearly four million listeners — alongside 623,954 Spotify followers makes ARTBAT the most-streamed name on this list by a wide margin. The project also leads the podium on Resident Advisor with 38,597 followers and on Last.fm with 168,466 listeners, while an Instagram following of 980,189 keeps the social footprint close to seven figures. That raw reach didn't quite translate into the top credit score this time — the voting margin to first place is 390 votes, and the points gap is 32 — but on pure listening data, ARTBAT is the heavyweight in the room.
#1: Miss Monique — 892 points
At the summit sits Miss Monique, with a credit score of 892 and 11,310 votes — the most of any DJ in the country. Her profile is the most evenly distributed of the three. On Spotify she draws 983,852 monthly listeners with 417,882 followers; on Instagram she commands the biggest audience on this podium at 1,140,435 followers. She's active across more platforms than either rival in this data set — 178,180 SoundCloud followers, 7,864 on Mixcloud, 87,503 Last.fm listeners, 14,764 on Resident Advisor — and her festival count stands at 294, the only such figure recorded here and a signal of relentless touring work. That breadth, paired with the highest vote total, is what puts her clear at the top.
The bigger picture
What makes this ranking notable isn't just who's in it, but how uniform it is. Three artists, one genre family, and a 62-point spread from top to bottom. Miss Monique wins on breadth and votes; ARTBAT dominates the streaming platforms; Korolova holds a genuine top-three claim with seven-figure monthly listenership of her own. Ukraine's melodic house and techno exports aren't competing for scraps of a niche — they're trading blows at the top of a scene that has become one of the genre's most reliable production lines. On this evidence, the order could plausibly reshuffle next cycle. The genre at the top, though, looks settled.
