Dance Singles Sales

The chart was compiled from a national sample of retail stores, mass merchants, and internet sales reports collected and provided by Nielsen SoundScan.

The chart became defunct after the issue dated November 30, 2013, with Borgore's "Wild Out" (featuring Waka Flocka Flame and Paige) as its final number-one single.

From October 26, 1974[1] until August 28, 1976, Billboard magazine's Disco Action section published weekly charts of retail single sales from various local regions along with Top Audience Response Records.

A coupling from MCA Records' Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, Patti LaBelle's "New Attitude"[5] and Harold Faltermeyer's "Axel F",[6] held the No.

[21] Billboard renamed the Maxi-Singles Sales survey to Dance Singles Sales[22] on March 1, 2003,[23] although the survey would continue to chart popular maxi-singles[24] by artists from other genres of music besides dance even more frequently such as hip hop & rap artists like Public Enemy[25] and 2Pac[26][27] and alternative rock & industrial metal bands such as The Smiths[28] and Ministry.

[29][30] 2006's "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" by Nine Inch Nails[31] topped the sales chart more than any other single with 36 inconsecutive weeks, yet never appeared on the Hot Dance Club Play survey.
