Madonna Tops Chart with New Dance Moves

Madonna makes news on two dance charts this week.
A single featuring remixes of “Nothing Fails/Nobody Knows Me” debuts at No. 1 on Hot Dance Singles Sales, while her collaboration with Britney Spears, “Me Against the Music“, shoots 13-2. It’s the first time in more than six years that one artist holds the top two spots on this chart.

Puff Daddy was the last artist to dominate Dance Singles Sales in this manner in 1997.
Back in 1995, Mariah Carey was No. 1 and No. 2 with “One Sweet Day” and “Fantasy,” respectively.

On Hot Dance Club Play, “Me Against the Music” moves 2-1, “Nobody Knows Me” falls 4-10 and “Nothing Fails” climbs 30-20. That makes Madonna the only artist in the past 20 years to have three top 20 hits on this chart at the same time.
