Dance/Mix Show Airplay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Dance Hits)

Dance/Mix Show Airplay (formerly Hot Dance Airplay) is a monitored electronic dance music radio chart that is published weekly by Billboard magazine. The chart came about as a result of the small but influential impact of electronic dance music on the radio in the United States and the stations that program it. The current number-one song on the chart is "Wrong Way" by Two Friends and Alexander Stewart.[1]

History

[edit]

Debuting as Hot Dance Radio Airplay in the issue dated October 25, 2003, it initially ranked the 25 most-played songs over eight radio stations playing mainly dance music and monitored by Nielsen BDS.[2] When published for the first time, "Just the Way You Are" by Milky was ranked as the number-one song, but that was following after a ten-week unpublished chart history. "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z spent the first seven weeks of the chart at number one, which Billboard recognizes retroactively.[3]

With the issue dated November 19, 2011, Billboard changed the name of the chart to Dance/Mix Show Airplay to reflect a change in its methodology. Instead of just ranking the number of airplay songs received at six dance-formatted reporters (four terrestrial radio stations, plus SiriusXM's BPM channel and Music Choice's Dance/Electronica channel), the panel of monitored stations was expanded to include mixshow plays on mainstream top 40 and rhythmic radio during hours in which these stations featured mixshow programming.[4]

On November 26, 2014, the 25-song chart expanded to 40 positions (effective with the December 6, 2014 issue), allowing more dance tracks to chart while simultaneously making the chart less pop-oriented.

In comparison to other dance charts, American commercial radio's definition of dance music is arguably more marginal, which is reflected in the chart's content. After the alterations made in 2011, the chart somewhat moved away from its initial purpose of charting conventional dance songs, instead including more remixed pop and urban songs in place of traditional forms of dance music and/or music by dance artists. By 2012, however, the influx of EDM songs in mix shows and the addition of two additional dance outlets amongst those monitored once again increased the dance content found on the chart, thereby decreasing to some extent the number of remixed pop and R&B tracks included.

Chart criteria

[edit]

There are 40 positions on this chart and it is solely based on radio airplay. Eight stations (five terrestrial, one cable, one satellite and one online internet service), serve as exclusive reporters and are electronically monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems.[5] Songs are ranked by a calculation of the total number of spins per week with its "audience impression", which is based upon exact times of airplay and each station's Nielsen Audio listener data. The chart also includes 84 selected mainstream, adult, and rhythmic top 40 reporters that feature mix shows as part of their programming.

Songs receiving the greatest growth will receive a "bullet", although there are tracks that will also get bullets if the loss in detections does not exceed the percentage of downtime from a monitored station. "Airpower" awards are issued to songs that appear on the top 20 of both the airplay and audience chart for the first time, while the "greatest gainer" award is given to song with the largest increase in detections. A song with six or more spins in its first week is awarded an "airplay add". If a song is tied for the most spins in the same week, the one with the biggest increase that previous week will rank higher, but if both songs show the same number of spins regardless of detection the song that is being played at more stations is ranked higher. Songs that fall below the top 15 and have been on the chart after 26 weeks are removed and go to the 20-song recurrent status.

Chart statistics and other facts

[edit]

With the exception of Madonna, David Guetta, Kaskade, Calvin Harris, and the Chainsmokers, all of whom crossed over to pop from dance and continue to be core dance artists, the artists in the following lists are pop and/or rhythmic acts; the songs that landed them on the dance chart were generally remixes of the original recordings. Rihanna and Katy Perry, however, have been more successful on both the Dance Club Songs and Dance/Mix Show Airplay charts, where Madonna leads with 50 number ones at the former, seven of those on this chart, followed by Rihanna with 33 (9 on this chart) and Perry with 19 (including 4 on this chart) while achieving success at pop and rhythmic. Guetta is the only male artist to see 8 of his 14 Dance Club Songs number ones also reach number one on Dance/Mix Show Airplay.

Artists by longevity/active status

[edit]

As of 2024, eleven artists can claim to have placed a single on Dance/Mix Show Airplay in the chart's three decades (2000s, 2010s, and 2020s) since its inception:

Artists with the most number-one hits

[edit]

As of 2024, Calvin Harris[13] and David Guetta[8] have accumulated the most chart toppers, with sixteen number ones.Rihanna was the youngest artist on this chart to reach number one with "Pon de Replay" in 2005, when she was 16, while Harris leads among male artists. Madonna is the only artist on this chart to see seven singles all reach number one consecutively, making her the only artist on this chart to accomplish this feat, and also has the most number ones from one album, all four singles from Confessions on a Dance Floor topped the chart (although she is now tied with Katy Perry, as her four singles from Teenage Dream have reached the top spot). In addition, Madonna was also named the number-one Dance Airplay artist for the decade (2003–2009) in Billboard's decade-end recap in 2009. The Chainsmokers have the most number ones among duo or groups with 9, followed by Cascada and AnnaGrace, who are tied with 3. However, AnnaGrace are the only duo or group to score their first consecutive number ones on this chart, while the Chainsmokers claim the most weeks at number one by a duo, with 58.

(number 7 in January 2011).[31][32][33] Guetta also leads among artists with the most charted songs overall at Dance/Mix Show Airplay, with 59 titles.[8]

  • David Guetta featuring Akon's "Sexy Chick" was the first number-one single to return to the top spot three times in its chart run in 2009. That record was broken by "Take Over Control" by Afrojack featuring Eva Simons on January 22, 2011, when that song took the number-one position four times during its run.
  • Lady Gaga's first single "Just Dance" holds the record for the longest run on the chart without reaching number one, 44 weeks, as of March 21, 2009. The single peaked at number two in August 2008.
  • "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga endured the biggest drop from number one, when it fell to number 13 in the March 6, 2010 issue. The record was later tied with "Ghosts N Stuff" by Deadmau5 featuring Rob Swire the same year.
  • "Only Girl (In the World)" by Rihanna endured the biggest drop from the top 10, going from 4 to 21 in the December 25, 2010 issue.
  • "Let Me Think About It" by Ida Corr vs. Fedde Le Grand has the longest chart run, spending 52 weeks on the chart, as of November 8, 2008. It also became the first imported single to reach number one, also in 2008. In 2009, the track was named the number one single of the decade in Billboard's decade-end recap of the top 50 Dance Airplay songs from 2003 to 2009.
  • As of the May 2, 2009 issue, "Every Word" by Veikka Erkola featuring Daniela spent most of 46 week run in the top 10 without dropping below number 10.
  • Despina Vandi's 2004 hit "Gia" was the chart's first foreign-language recording to reach number one.
  • Kelly Osbourne's single "One Word" holds the distinction of being the first song to claim the number one spot on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay, Hot Dance Club Play and Hot Dance Single Sales charts in the same week. The feat was accomplished on June 18, 2005.
  • In 2007 Eric Prydz vs. Pink Floyd's "Proper Education (The Wall)" became the first number-one single on this chart to feature a remixed recording of an original song, as the track was based on Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2."
  • Natasja Saad was the first artist to reach the top spot posthumously, as her collaboration with Enur, "Calabria", reached number one on January 22, 2008.

The track reached number one in December 2008 but continued its 45-week chart run in 2009. Because of Billboard's requirements for songs that had charted from December of the previous year to November of the following year, "Feel Your Love" became eligible in this case.

  • Kylie Minogue holds the record for having one song re-enter the chart six times with "Get Outta My Way". The single debuted at number 17 in its October 30, 2010 issue, then dropped out a week later, only to return in the November 13, 2010 (two weeks), December 11, 2010 (two weeks), December 25, 2010 (one week), January 15, 2011 (two weeks) and March 19, 2011 (one week) issues.
  • "Blame" by Calvin Harris featuring John Newman has the distinction of being the last number-one single during the Dance/Mix Show Airplay's original charted 25 song title position methodology in its November 29, 2014 issue, and the first number-one single under the chart's expansion to 40 positions in its December 6, 2014 issue.

  • Maren Morris, however, can lay claim to being the first active Country artist to reach number one on this chart, as a featured vocalist/collaborator with Zedd and the duo Grey on "The Middle", which topped the Chart in its March 3, 2018 issue.[51]
  • Adele became the first artist on this chart to make the fastest ascent to number one (four weeks), with "Hello". The single accomplished this feat when it debuted at number 24 in the November 21, 2015 issue, then climbed to number 1 in the December 12, 2015 issue.[52]
  • Ariana Grande is the only female artist to amassed the most consecutive top ten singles on this chart so far with 7, while Nicki Minaj can lay claim to being the only Rap/Hip-Hop artist to place the most songs on this chart, with nine.
