David Guetta Is MTV's #2 EDM Artist Of 2011!

If he built a bridge between urban music and electronic music last year, in 2011, French DJ/producer David Guetta now presides over a superhighway that extends around the world.

In our Best Electronic Dance Music Artists of 2011 coverage, MTV's roundtable has named Guetta our #2 EDM Artist of 2011 — but that doesn't begin to explain his impact on the industry. David Guetta is now a pop-music superstar.

After collecting a Grammy in February for his remix of Madonna's "Revolver," Guetta teased his next opus, Nothing but the Beat, during Miami Music Week in March. His highly anticipated follow-up to last year's One Love would deliver a feature list on steroids, including Ludacris and Taio Cruz teaming up for first single "Little Bad Girl."

Radio hits came in the form of Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida rapping on "Where Them Girls At" and then the album's latest single, "Without You," an emotional track with Usher that David calls "the biggest song" on NBTB. Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Jennifer Hudson, Sia and Timbaland, also all lent their vocals to the double disc.

For EDM purists, Nothing but the Beat had plenty to offer, like stellar co-productions with Afrojack ("Lunar" and "The Future") and Avicii (on the Grammy-nominated "Sunshine"). DJ Mag crowned Guetta the #1 DJ on the planet, and he headlined the world's biggest festival's, including Belgium's Tomorrowland Festival, Miami's Ultra Music Festival and Las Vegas' Electric Daisy Carnival.

Guetta has also hit screens small and large this year. His documentary with Burn, also titled "Nothing but the Beat," has been screened in New York, and L.A. He's hit "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," with Usher, and filmed a viral video with Web sensation Keenan Cahill.

His American Music Awards performance with Nicki Minaj seems to indicate that "Turn Me On" will be the next single from Nothing but the Beat, and fans can expect a shocking new video (and much more, we're sure) early next year.
