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]

Hot Black Singles chart as a single track peaking at #19.[14] Only later remixes by Shep Pettibone and Goh Hotoda[15]
are available on Madonna's albums.

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 chart and reduces the Maxi-Singles Sales chart size from 50 to 25 positions, 30 positions online.[28] Top Electronic Albums chart is expanded to 25 positions on December 2, 2001.[29]

2Pac[34][35] and alternative rock & industrial metal bands such as The Smiths[36] and Ministry.[37][38] 2006's "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" by Nine Inch Nails[39] topped the sales chart more than any other single with 36 inconsecutive weeks, yet never appeared on the Hot Dance Club Play survey.[40][41]

Billboard launches the 40 position

Me Against The Music" by Britney Spears and Madonna won the award for "Hot Dance Singles Sales Single of the Year"[44] at the Billboard Music Awards in 2004.[45][46]

Singles Sales decline and Dance section reorganization

Beginning April 30, 2005, the Billboard Dance section started alternately printing Hot Dance Single Sales and Top Electronic Albums every other week in the magazine[47] until Hot Dance Single Sales[48] became only available at billboard.biz after the February 24, 2007 issue.[49] Billboard reduces the position size of the Hot Dance Singles chart from 25 to 15 positions on March 30, 2007.[50] Stevie Nicks' 2007 remix single of "Stand Back" debuted at #3 on the chart on September 15, 2007,[51] peaking at #2 the following week where it stayed for two weeks.[52]

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]
