Madonna Earns 47th No. 1 On Dance Club Songs Chart With Maluma Collab ‘Medellin’
The Queen of Pop leads for the first time since 2015.
Madonna scores her record-extending 47th No. 1 on Billboard‘s Dance Club Songs chart, as “Medellín,” with Maluma, rises 2-1 on the June 29-dated survey.
Latin charts titan Maluma, meanwhile, notches his first Dance Club Songs No. 1.
The chart (and all rankings dated June 29) will refresh on Billboard.com on Tuesday, June 25.
With her latest coronation on Dance Club Songs, which measures reports submitted by a national sample of club DJs, Madonna pulls further ahead of runner-up Rihanna, who boasts 33 No. 1s. (The chart launched as a national survey in the Billboard issue dated Aug. 28, 1976.)
“Medellín” was released, in its ballad form, on Madonna’s new album, Madame X, released June 14. “Medellín” was remixed for clubs by Offer Nissim, LA95, Robbie Rivera and John Christian & DJLW, among others.
In honor of Madonna’s latest achievement, here is an updated look at her historic 47 Dance Club Songs No. 1s, beginning with the double-sided single “Holiday”/”Lucky Star,” which reached the top the week dated Sept. 24, 1983. You’ll notice that one of her No. 1s is an entire album: You Can Dance (1988), a collection of mostly remixes of previously-released songs (and one then-new cut, “Spotlight”). Prior to Feb. 23, 1991, the chart wasn’t always song-specific and full albums were, at various points, allowed to chart. (For titles that spent multiple weeks at No. 1, total frames in the lead are noted in parentheses.)
