It probably is payola, someone just told me this today:

One of them is actually meaningless, and rigged. I think it's the Dance/Club one? There was an article about earlier in the year. Some of the DJs who are used for the chart admitted to being payed by record labels to rank songs higher, and they organize amongst themselves to have a different #1 almost every week. Some of them say they just list their favourite songs, rather than actually saying what they do play. That's why random Kelly Clarkson songs make #1 there, and songs that are actually huge in clubs don't do well.
The fact it's her first underperformance in half a decade makes it more ironic.
Yeah as much as I love seeing Unconditionally get to go #1 somewhere; let's all be real and admit that the Dance/Club play chart is in dire need of being scrapped and replaced with something real.

I think Electronic/Dance songs is the "more legitimate" chart.
Madonna having like 50 #1's on it, always made me think it was fake to begin with.
Who are they surveying? 5 random gays from ATRL who DJ at Gay Clubs.
Please, Madonna's number of #1s there isn't anywhere near as bad as Yoko Ono's obligatory random #1 every year that's handed to her. When was the last time you've heard one of her songs at a club? "Walking On Thin Ice 2013" hit #1 in October.

Somebody posted an article about it a few weeks back, and everyone pretty much concluded that the chart was ********.
Yeah, I read that same article. It makes sense though, most of the songs that go #1 on that chart I've never even heard in a club before (e.g. Unconditionally lol), and some massive club hits don't seem to chart at all.

Yeah, Dance/Electronic songs is better, since it's actually based on proper data (sales, airplay and streaming). The other dance chart is almost pointless imo.
Well, as of a few years ago things can re-enter if they're in the top 50 for the week; see Whitney's "I Will Always Love You".
I know, I stan for the woman who will come full-force for Sail/I'm Yours/Radioactive's Weeks Charting Record with AIWFCIY re-entering once a month every year.

Yoko Ono has 9 number 1s in the dance/club play chart. more iconic than other pop girls?
