He has matched his earnings from 2013-14, which set a record for the amount earned by a DJ.

Commenting on setting the new record, Harris said last year: "The rise of dance music has been astronomical… I happened to be in the right place at the right time."

Harris earned almost double the $37 million (£23.4m) brought in by second-placed David Guetta over the last year.
