She picked up her crown and put it back on her head. The Queen of Pop reigns again with Living for Love, tying with King of Country George Strait, for the most leaders ever by an act on a singular Billboard chart.
Billboard.com reveals that Madonna makes Billboard chart history, as she earns her 44th No. 1 on Dance Club Songs, with Living For Love lifting 2-1. The ranking, dated March 7, will refresh on Billboard.com on Thursday, February 26.
With her 44th leading title on Dance Club Songs, which measures reports submitted by a national sample of club DJs, Madonna pulls further ahead of runners-up Beyonce and Rihanna. In fact, Madonna has tallied as many No. 1s as they have combined: 22 each.
Here is an updated look at Madonna’s 44 Dance Club Songs No. 1s, beginning with the double-sided single Holiday/Lucky Star, which reached the top the week of 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 new cut, Spotlight). Prior to Feb. 23, 1991, the chart wasn’t always song-specific and full albums were, at some points, allowed to chart.
