Top 3 Melodic DJs: Anyma Edges a 300-Vote Thriller

Every so often a fan vote refuses to hand anyone a comfortable win. This is one of those. Across our Top 3 melodic DJs, all working in Melodic House & Techno, the numbers cluster so tightly that the countdown reads less like a ranking and more like a photo finish. From the top of the podium to the bottom, the entire field is separated by just 300 votes.

That closeness is the story. It says the melodic crowd isn't rallying behind a single figurehead — it's split, passionately, three ways.

Anyma takes the top spot with 11,640 votes, the narrowest of margins over the field. What makes the result interesting is that it isn't a credit-score coronation: Anyma's credit score of 884 actually sits below both challengers here. The votes came from somewhere else — a reach that shows up in the platform numbers, from 7,229,962 Spotify monthly listeners to an Instagram following of 3,826,869. Whatever else is going on in the melodic scene, the audience momentum is real, and it was enough to carry the count.

Solomun lands second on 11,550 votes — a gap of only 90 behind the leader. If the vote is close, the résumé is not shy: Solomun carries the highest credit score in this trio at 908, and a festival count of 227, the kind of stage-time total that explains a Resident Advisor following of 87,476, the largest RA base of the three. This is a profile built in the club and on the circuit, and it very nearly translated into the top vote.

Eric Prydz rounds out the podium with 11,340 votes and a credit score of 904, a hair behind Solomun. Prydz's strength reads a little differently from the others': a SoundCloud following of 848,694 and an RA base of 59,205 point to a fan culture that lives in the mixes and the deeper corners of the catalogue. The 210-vote step down to third is the widest gap in the countdown, but in a race this compressed, third place is no distant also-ran.

Read the three together and a pattern emerges. Solomun and Eric Prydz post the higher credit scores — 908 and 904 — yet it's Anyma, at 884, who leads the fan vote. That inversion is the whole intrigue: peer-style credibility and raw fan enthusiasm are pulling in slightly different directions inside the same genre.

It also underlines how healthy Melodic House & Techno is right now. You don't get a 300-vote spread across a full podium unless the scene has multiple centers of gravity, each with a committed base willing to click. Anyma's audience skews toward the streaming-and-socials mainstream; Solomun's toward the festival mainstage and the club circuit; Prydz's toward the crate-digging faithful.

None of these leads is safe. Ninety votes at the top, 210 to the bottom — a single strong release cycle or festival run could reshuffle the whole thing. For now, Anyma holds the crown, but this is a countdown built on the thinnest of margins, and the melodic vote looks anything but settled.
