Is the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart relevant?
Some artists excel on the Hot Dance Club Play chart more than others, yet the topic of success with this chart is rarely ever brought up. Selena has scored six number ones on the chart, and another peaked at number 2. She's the only Disney girl with success on the chart it seems, yet receives no praise. Why does nobody seem to care about the chart?
I get a lot of bops from that chart, so it's relevant to me!
However, getting a #1 on that chart seems more...attainable, for more irrelevant artists, I guess that makes the prestige of that chart not as high as the ATRL favorites BBH100 and BB200.
It is relevant. That's actually an important chart. If you get a #1 on the dance charts it means it's a hot record. Back in the day if djs played your song multiple times in the club that means it is getting a good response from the crowd. Djs putting your song in heavy rotation was an honor during the disco days. I actually think this chart is a better indication of the general public liking your music than the Hot 100. These days artists can get hits from stans pressing replay a million times on YouTube and Spotify. It isn't a good indication on what regular people outside of stans think as much as natural response that comes from a club.

Hmm this is a good explanation actually. I didn't consider this. Thank you for your post

It just feels so easy for artists to get number ones there, like literally every Katy single but three or maybe two I don't remember have gone number one there
