Dance Singles Sales
From October 26, 1974
The 50-position weekly ranking joined Billboard's established Dance/Disco Top 80 chart, reduced to the same 50 positions, both under the title Hot Dance/Disco, becoming two separate Top 50 charts: 12-Inch Singles Sales and Club Play. A coupling from MCA Records' Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, Patti LaBelle's "New Attitude"[5] and Harold Faltermeyer's "Axel F",[6] held the No. 1 slot for the 12-inch Singles Sales chart's first week[7] and was also No. 1 for the second consecutive week on the most played dance/disco chart.[8][9]
The word "disco" was removed from the title of the section of both charts beginning September 19, 1987.[16] After being temporarily renamed Hot Dance 50,[17] Billboard retitled the section Hot Dance Music on October 24, 1987.[18]

Top Electronic Albums is renamed Top Dance/Electronic Albums by Billboard on June 20, 2009.

After years of falling record sales,[64] Billboard discontinued their weekly Dance Singles Sales survey later that year.[65] The last chart of the nearly 29 year old national survey was published online November 30, 2013.[66] On June 1, 2019, Billboard introduced their weeekly Dance/Electronic Producers[67] and Songwriters[68] surveys. After almost 45 years of continuous weekly national charts, Billboard's Dance Club Songs survey has been suspended since March 28, 2020,[69] due to widespread social distancing being practiced in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic.[70][71]
