List of artists who reached number one on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs

The Hot Dance/Electronic Songs is a weekly music chart compiled by Billboard, ranking the most popular dance and electronic songs in the United States.[1] The chart was inaugurated in January 2013 as a result of the rise in popularity of the genres.[1] The chart is published weekly and songs are ranked according to airplay impressions and volume of streams, sales and dance club spins, and 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.[1] The chart was revamped in January 2025 to focus on songs primarily recorded by DJs or producers, with an emphasis on electronic-based production. As a result, the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart was created to compile songs with "dance-centric vocals, melody, and hooks by artists not rooted in the dance genre".[2]

The Chainsmokers has charted a record six number ones on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs.

A total of 72 artists have topped the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart since its inception. The Chainsmokers are the artist with the most number ones with six songs, from "#Selfie" (2014) to "Something Just Like This" (2017).[3] They also topped the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Year-End chart twice, with "Don't Let Me Down" in 2016 and "Something Just Like This" in 2017. Calvin Harris, Zedd, and Marshmello tied as the solo artist with the most number ones on the chart, with four apiece. Harris' chart-toppers spanned from "Summer" (2014) to "Feels" (2017), while Zedd's ones started from "Break Free" (2014) to "The Middle" (2018). Marshmello stayed at the top of the chart for 143 cumulative weeks, the most of any other act, from "Wolves" (2017) to "Miles on It" (2024). His song "Happier" (2018) also became the longest-running number one on the chart, with 69 non-consecutive weeks.

Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and Dua Lipa tied as the female artist with the most number ones on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, with three songs each. Gaga's chart-toppers ranged from "Applause" (2013) to "Rain on Me" (2020); Grande's ones from "Break Free" (2014) to "Yes, And?" (2024); Lipa's ones from "Cold Heart (Pnau remix)" (2021) to "Illusion" (2024). However, since the creation of the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart in 2025, none of these women are eligible to enter the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart anymore, unless they are featured on songs by electronic music producers or DJs.[2] Gaga continued topping the Hot Dance/Pop Songs, with "Abracadabra" staying atop the chart for 18 non-consecutive weeks.[4]
