Madonna holds the record for the most chart hits, the most top-twenty hits, the most top-ten hits and the most total weeks at number one (75 weeks). •
Madonna was the first artist in the chart's history to have 2 studio albums with 5 number-one songs each topping the chart, respectively; from her eighth studio album
Music and her ninth studio album
American Life;
Katy Perry has since surpassed this record, achieving 7 number-ones from her third studio album
Teenage Dream, and 5 number-ones from her fourth,
Prism. • The first
12-inch single made commercially available to the public was "
Ten Percent" by
Double Exposure in 1976. extending her record over
George Strait, who has earned 44 leaders on Hot Country Songs. • From the dance chart's inception until the week of February 16, 1991, several (or even all) songs on an
EP,
album or 12-inch single could occupy the same position if more than one track from a release was receiving significant play in clubs (for example, Donna Summer charted several full-length albums, both
Chaka Khan and
Madonna have hit number one with remix albums). Chart entries like this were especially prevalent during the
disco era, where an entire side of an album would contain several songs segued together seamlessly to replicate a night of dancing in a club. Beginning with the February 23, 1991 issue, the dance chart became "song specific", meaning only one song could occupy each position at a time. • "
One Word" by
Kelly Osbourne made chart history on June 18, 2005, when it became the first song to simultaneously top the Hot Dance Club Songs, Hot Dance Singles Sales and Hot Dance Airplay charts. •
LeAnn Rimes became the first
country music artist to have topped both the
Billboard country chart and the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. Rimes, who had several remixes of her country hits reach the dance chart, achieved that distinction during the week of February 28, 2009, when the
electronic dance music remixes of her 2008 single "
What I Cannot Change" reached number one. Rimes has gone on to place two additional songs atop the dance charts, "Long Live Long" and "Love is Love is Love," both from her 2016 album, "Remnants." •
Olivia Newton-John and
Chloe Lattanzi's collaboration with Dave Audé, "
You Have to Believe", which reached number one in its November 21, 2015 issue, made history for Newton-John and Lattanzi, as they became the first mother-daughter duo to reach number one on this chart as well as picking up their first number ones at Dance Club Songs as well, although Newton-John had charted four times prior to this. •
Sting has the distinction of being the only artist to reach number one twice on this chart with a song he recorded and re-recorded, as his original version of "
Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing)" featuring
Twista reached that position in 2004, and again in 2016 as a featured duet with
Mylène Farmer for "
Stolen Car". In both cases, they were also remixed by Dave Audé, which is another first on this chart that a remixer reached number one with a song he remixed twice.
