Billboard to Revamp Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Chart, Launch Hot Dance/Pop Songs Ranking


Billboard is set to revamp the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and launch the Hot Dance/Pop Songs ranking. Get the details.

Billboard is revamping its dance charts offerings at the outset of the new year to better recognize the varied sounds of the genre. Billboard ’s weekly multimetric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart currently ranks the top 50 songs based on U.S. streaming (official audio and official video) and sales data, according to Luminate, the independent data provider to the Billboard charts, plus radio airplay audience impressions, as measured by Mediabase. Concurrently with the charts dated Jan. 18, Billboard is also launching the 25-position Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart, utilizing the same multimetric methodology as Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, featuring titles with dance-centric vocals, melody and hooks by artists not considered rooted in the dance/electronic genre.
