Known for blending melodic techno with progressive house, KOROLOVA, whose real name is Olga Korolova, has released tracks including Be Strong, Shining, and Heal My Mind.
Reacting to the announcement, KOROLOVA expressed her excitement and thanked fans for their continued support, emphasizing that the achievement would not have been possible without them.
“I’m in shock. Literally SHOCKED. I ranked 36th in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs worldwide. Actually, no, we ranked 36th together. Every single one of you who supported me, voted for me, believed in me, and showed me so much love—this would never have happened without you,” she said.
“I’m so incredibly happy right now, I can’t stop crying. I still can’t believe it… Out of hundreds of thousands of DJs around the world, WE MADE IT TO #36. I love you all so, so much, and I can’t even put into words how grateful I am for every single one of you,” KOROLOVA added.
The result marks KOROLOVA’s third consecutive appearance in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs ranking, with the Ukrainian artist climbing 14 positions from 50th place in 2025. Last year, she had already risen ten spots compared to her debut in the ranking.
