In the issue dated March 16, 1985, Billboard magazine debuted its first chart devoted exclusively to 12-inch Singles Sales. The 50-position weekly ranking joined Billboard's established Club Songs chart, reduced to the same 50 positions, both under the title Hot Dance/Disco. A coupling from MCA Records' Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, Patti LaBelle's "New Attitude" and Harold Faltermeyer's "Axel F", held the No. 1 slot for the chart's first week and was also No. 1 for the second consecutive week on the most played dance/disco chart.[1] On June 20, 1992, the chart was renamed Maxi-Singles Sales,[2] then simply Dance Singles Sales on March 1, 2003.[3]
On July 28, 2001, the chart size was reduced to 25 positions after the addition of Top Electronic Albums to the Hot Dance Music section.[5] Beginning April 30, 2005, these two charts alternated appearing in the magazine every other week[6] until Dance Single Sales became only available at billboard.biz after the magazine's February 24, 2007 issue. [7]
On January 23, 2010, Billboard debuted Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales, a 50 position chart ranking of online single sales.[8] The Dance/Electronic Songs chart was introduced in Billboard magazine's newly retitled Dance/Electronic music section on January 26, 2013.[9]
After almost 29 years, the last Billboard Dance Singles Sales chart was published online November 30, 2013.[10]
