Dance/Pop Songs

The Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart will be published weekly by Billboard beginning on January 18, 2025. A sister chart to their Dance/Electronic Songs chart, the creation of the Dance/Pop songs chart was announced on December 10, 2025. The chart contains 25 positions and ranks the most popular dance pop songs according to audience impressions, digital downloads, streaming, and club play.

Background and eligibility criteria

As a result of the increase in the popularity of dance and electronic music, Billboard introduced the Dance/Electronic Songs chart in January 2013 to rank the most popular dance and electronic song according to airplay audience impressions, digital downloads, streaming and club play and publishes it on a weekly basis.[1] On December 10, 2024, Billboard announced that they would be revamping the chart in order to "better recognize the varied sounds" of the electronic music genre. As of the chart dated January 18, 2025, songs eligible to debut on that chart will be those primarily recorded by DJs or producers, with an emphasis on electronic-based production. Billboard advised that the Dance/Pop Songs chart will feature tracks with more of a focus on "dance-centric vocals, melody, and hooks by artists not rooted in the dance genre". Songs co-billed to both a DJ/producer and a singer who extends beyond the dance genre may be eligible for both Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and Hot Dance/Pop Songs.[2]

The Dance/Pop Songs chart uses the same methodology as the Dance/Electronic songs chart, and the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, with songs being tracked by Nielsen SoundScan, Nielsen BDS, BDS from streaming services including Spotify and Xbox Music, and from a United States-wide select panel of 140 DJs.[citation needed]
