Creamfields headliner David Guetta has been named as the most downloaded dance artist in history.

The chart-topping French DJ - who has achieved three number one hits in the UK, collaborating with Kelly Rowland, Akon and the Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie - accounts for almost half of all dance music downloads, according to Nokia’s Ovi Music Store.

Geoff Roberts, Ovi musicologist, said:

“This trends snapshot reveals a growing interest in dance music across the world which has traditionally been a niche genre online.

“Artists such as David Guetta are helping bring dance music to the masses, spiking an increase in downloads over the past year. This is only going to increase as we get deeper into festival season - last year dance music downloads peaked between May and September, and this trend looks like it is set to continue this year.”
