Top Dance Albums

The chart debuted on the issue dated June 30, 2001 under the title Top Electronic Albums, with the first number-one title being the original soundtrack to the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

[2] It originally began as a fifteen-position chart and has since expanded to twenty-five positions.

Also eligible for this chart are remix albums by otherwise non-electronic-based artists and DJ-mixed compilation albums and film soundtracks which feature a majority of electronic or dance music.

In 2019, Billboard added a companion chart, Dance/Electronic Album Sales, which tracks the top 15 albums based solely on physical sales, but with an emphasis on core dance/electronic artists.

[3] The current number-one album on the chart is Brat by Charli XCX.

The Fame by Lady Gaga holds the record for the most weeks at number one (193 weeks) as well as the most weeks on the chart (568 weeks). [ 1 ]
