Blackpink's 'Jump' debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Digital Song Sales chart and reaches the top ... More three on several others in its first week. INDIO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 15: (L-R) Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa of BLACKPINK perform at the Coachella Stage during the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 15, 2023 in Indio, California. (Photo byfor Coachella) Blackpink's brand new single 'Jump' is off to a strong start on the Billboard charts in the United States. Following its first full tracking frame of availability, the tune sold and streamed well enough to launch inside the top 10 on multiple tallies, bringing the K-pop girl group back to the highest reaches on several rankings, pushing the act toward the summit on a number of tallies for the first time. Billboard classifies 'Jump' as a dance tune, and that label works in Blackpink's favor and helps the four singers make history. 'Jump' Debuts at No. 1 'Jump' opens at No. 1 on one U.S.-based tally, as the tune starts atop the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. Blackpink scores its first No. 1 on the list of the bestselling dance and electronic tracks throughout the country. The group has only appeared on the tally once before this frame. Blackpink previously joined Lady Gaga on 'Sour Candy,' which debuted in June 2020 and eventually peaked in the runner-up spot. Now, the South Korean act has finally reached the top space. Blackpink Joins Jung Kook and Psy Blackpink is just the fourth K-pop act to hit No. 1 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. Earlier this month, HUNTR/X — a fictional group from Netflix's film KPop Demon Hunters — soared to the peak position with 'How It's Done.' Blackpink replaces that cut at No. 1 this week.

Blackpink Hits the Top 10 on Several Charts 'Jump' starts at No. 3 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart, with exactly 3,600 copies purchased (per Luminate).

U.S. with the exciting comeback track.

Madonna Charts A Brand New Top 10 Hit In America
Madonna scores a new top 10 with 'Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version)' before Veronica ... More Electronica arrives, landing at No. 8 on the Dance Digital Song Sales list. American singer Madonna on the set of her 'Ray of Light' video, September 12, 1998. (Photo by) On July 25, Madonna released her new remix album Veronica Electronica. The project features reworkings of many tunes from the pop superstar's beloved full-length Ray of Light, as well as one 'brand new' track. Officially titled 'Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version),' that cut was recorded around the same time as Ray of Light but never officially released to the public. Many Madonna followers are already familiar with it thanks to leaks that have circulated over the years, but recently, the singer finally dropped the highly-anticipated cut. Now, 'Gone Gone Gone (Original Demo Version)' gives Madonna another top 10 hit in America, just before Veronica Electronica has a chance to chart. Madonna's New Top 10 Smash 'Gone, Gone, Gone (Original Demo Version)' debuts at No. 8 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart this frame. The track marks Madonna's ninth top 10 on Billboard's list of the bestselling dance cuts in the United States. Despite being one of the most successful dance musicians of all time, the icon has only reached the tally 22 times. The list was, of course, established long after many of Madonna's pioneering dance smashes had already impacted other charts in America, which explains her relatively low count. Madonna's Winning Streak Continues It's only been a year since Madonna last scored a new top 10 on the Dance Digital Song Sales ranking. In July 2024, 'Who's That Girl?' — another decades-old cut — opened at No. 9 before disappearing the following frame. The year prior, Madonna earned her first No. 1 alongside Sam Smith with 'Vulgar,' which debuted in the top spot. That same frame, 'Me Against the Music,' her collaboration with Britney Spears, broke into the top 10 for the first time. Madonna Joins Nine Inch Nails and Blackpink Madonna claims one of three debuts on the 15-spot Dance Digital Song Sales chart this week, and hers is the second-highest arrival. Nine Inch Nails starts 'As Alive As You Need Me to Be' at No. 10. Both legendary acts are beaten by 'Jump,' the latest single from Blackpink. That track debuts at No. 1, giving the K-pop girl group the comeback so many fans had been hoping for.

Rihanna debuts at No. 1 with 'Friend of Mine' on Billboard's Dance Digital Song Sales chart, beating DJ Snake and Avicii
Rihanna has returned and how! The queen of pop is back on the top of the charts, as her latest release 'Friend of Mine' debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Digital Song Sales chart this week. The track has become the top-selling dance song in the United States, as measured by Billboard. This marks a significant moment in Rihanna's career, as it is her third time reaching the summit of this specific chart. Her last No. 1 came back in 2016 with 'This Is What You Came For,' a collaboration with Calvin Harris. Before that, she first claimed the top spot in June 2012 with 'Where Have You Been.' 'Friend of Mine' is one of seven new entries on the 15-song chart this week. Despite strong competition from well-known artists including DJ Snake, Kesha, and the late Avicii, Rihanna secured the top spot. Avicii, who passed away in 2018, makes a posthumous appearance with 'Let's Ride Away,' a new collaboration with Elle King. In total, Rihanna has now earned 11 appearances on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. Impressively, ten of those entries have reached the top 10. Two of her well-known tracks, 'We Found Love' (also with Calvin Harris) and 'Who's That Chick?' with David Guetta, both peaked at No. 2, narrowly missing out on the No. 1 position. This new chart-topping success further cements Rihanna's enduring popularity in the dance music space. While fans continue to hope for a full studio album, 'Friend of Mine' serves as a reminder of her ability to dominate the charts with fresh, energetic releases.

Rihanna Lands Her First New No. 1 In Almost A Decade
Rihanna's 'A Friend of Mine' launches at No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Digital Song Sales chart, ... More earning the singer her third champion and first in almost a decade. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 26: Rihanna attends her immersive beauty event in honor of Fenty Beauty's newest product launch, Soft'lit Naturally Luminous Longwear Foundation at 7th Street Studios on April 26, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) Rihanna releases music so infrequently that a huge debut is typically expected whenever she does give the world something new. Sadly, that's not quite what came to pass with 'Friend of Mine,' her first single in several years. The tune, taken from the upcoming Smurfs animated movie, does manage to conquer one important Billboard ranking as it arrives — and in doing so, it adds to her list of champions, which hasn't increased in almost a decade. 'Friend of Mine' launches atop the Dance Digital Song Sales chart this week, which means it is the top-selling track in America currently classified by Billboard specifically as dance. The tune is one of seven new arrivals on the 15-spot roster, and Rihanna manages to beat out exciting drops from stars in the genre like DJ Snake, Kesha, and even Avicii, who posthumously returns with his new collaboration 'Let's Ride Away' with Elle King. Rihanna scores her third No. 1 on the Dance Digital Song Sales ranking as 'Friend of Mine' arrives. The tune marks her first new leader since 'This Is What You Came For' with Calvin Harris, which debuted in first place in May 2016. She first ruled in June 2012 with 'Where Have You Been.' Throughout her career, Rihanna has collected a total of 11 placements on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, and all but one of those have reached the top 10. She missed out on adding to her expanding roster of champions by just one space with both 'We Found Love' — another collaboration with Harris — and 'Who's That Chick?' alongside David Guetta, as both tunes stalled at No. 2. 'Friend of Mine' is a quick top 10 on a number of Billboard's dance-only tallies. As it leads the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, it enters the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs tally at No. 3, earning Rihanna her first career placement on that list. The cut also kicks off its time on the Dance Streaming Songs tally at No. 6. Rihanna also manages to hit No. 1 on one other Billboard list, but 'Friend of Mine' doesn't enjoy quite as much of a celebration on that tally as it does on the Dance Digital Song Sales roster. The catchy cut appears in first place on the Bubbling Under Hot 100, meaning it misses landing on the Hot 100 — the main ranking of the most consumed tracks in America — by just one space. So, while it technically sits at No. 1, that's not really a major accomplishment for her.

Bon Jovi Earns A Brand New Top 10 Hit Single
Bon Jovi's latest single 'Now or Never' has turned out to be something of a surprise hit. Throughout 2025, the collaboration – powered by Pitbull and built around a familiar Bon Jovi hook—has spent months climbing various Billboard charts, dipping here and there but always finding a way to rebound, at least so far. Just when it looked like the collaboration might be on its way out, it pulls off an unexpected feat: a brand new peak on a particularly competitive list. 'Now or Never' hits a new high on the Hot Dance/Electronic/Pop Songs chart. The genre-blending cut lifts from No. 13 to No. 9, becoming a top 10 hit for the very first time on Billboard's recently-introduced tally that ranks the most popular tunes that combine pop with dance and electronic elements. The rise of 'Now or Never' marks a career milestone for both of the stars involved. The track is now the first top 10 hit for Bon Jovi and Pitbull on the Hot Dance/Electronic/Pop Songs chart. That's not really surprising, though, since the list is only a few months old. Just one week ago, 'Now or Never' returned to the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart after falling off entirely. The cut re-entered at No. 13, narrowly finding space on the 15-spot roster. Before that, it had climbed as high as No. 11, and more than once. While its most exciting placement this frame is its new top 10 finish on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs list, 'Now or Never' is also performing well on several other Billboard charts. The tune holds steady at No. 12 on the Adult Pop Airplay tally, just one spot shy of its peak on that radio-focused roster. Elsewhere, the title's experience is something of a mixed bag. The track slips to No. 13 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart and falls to No. 30 on the Pop Airplay list. 'Now or Never' is part of a recent trend by Pitbull, who's been crafting modern EDM-laced anthems using nostalgic melodies from earlier hits. For this cut, he borrows the chorus of 'It's My Life,' one of Bon Jovi's most recognizable tunes, and transforms it into something new. The end result is a high-energy, club-ready single that repackages a rock staple for a different generation of listeners, and it's resonating with Americans.
