Madonna Scores 10th Dance Airplay No. 1 With ‘Confessions II’ Single ‘Danceteria’

Madonna achieves her milestone 10th career No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Airplay chart, and her third from Confessions II, as “Danceteria” jumps 6-1 on the Oct. 3-dated ranking.

Released July 3 alongside the album, “Danceteria” reaches the top with a 34% increase in plays among the chart’s 24/7 dance reporters during the Sept. 18-24 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The song follows fellow Confessions II singles “I Feel So Free,” which became Madonna’s first No. 1 radio hit in 18 years, and “Love Sensation,” to the top of Dance Airplay.

Here’s an updated look at all of Madonna’s Dance Airplay No. 1s since the chart launched in 2003:

Title (weeks at No. 1; peak year)

Madonna passes Ellie Goulding for the fifth-most leaders in the chart’s history, trailing only David Guetta (21), Calvin Harris (19), Rihanna (12) and The Chainsmokers (11).

“Danceteria” also gives Warner Records its fourth Dance Airplay No. 1 of 2026, tying Republic Records for the most among all labels this year. For Warner, it follows Jennifer Lopez and David Guetta’s “Save Me Tonight,” which topped the chart in May, and Madonna’s “I Feel So Free” and “Love Sensation.”

Warner scored four Dance Airplay No. 1s in 2025, after leading all labels in 2024 (with seven) and 2023 (four).

Madonna released a remix of “Danceteria” with Harry Romero on Aug. 21, followed by a reimagined version with Charli xcx, titled “Danceteria Afterhours,” on Sept. 24.

Confessions II earned Madonna her 10th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in July. With 12 No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100, she became just the fourth act to reach double digits on both charts, joining The Beatles, Drake and Taylor Swift.

The album opened with 134,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States, Madonna’s biggest week by units since the Billboard 200 adopted that methodology in December 2014.

All charts dated Oct. 3 will update Tuesday, Sept. 29, on Billboard.com.
