DJs are some of the hardest working people in the entire music industry. At least, that’s what DJs say. But, is it true?

Yes, actually, it is. Tiësto and Paul Van Dyk have just proven it. Ten artists – from Tiësto to Snoop Dogg – were compared. The poll looked at how many miles each artists has travelled throughout their career and in the last 12 months. The totals were judged against how long it would take to travel around the world and how long it would take to get to the moon.

Tiësto, who came in at the #1 position, has travelled 1,557,131 miles in his career. He travelled 209,773 miles just in the last 12 months. That’s the equivalent of going around the world 62.53 times, and the same as 6.52 times to the moon. Ok, that’s enough math for me today.
