List of Billboard number-one dance singles of 2003
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Billboard magazine compiled the top-performing dance singles in the United States during 2003 on the Hot Dance Club Play, the Hot Dance Singles Sales, and the Hot Dance Radio Airplay. Premiered in 1976, the Hot Dance Club Play chart ranked the most-played singles on dance club based on reports from a national sample of club DJs. The Hot Dance Singles Sales chart was launched in 1985 to compile the best-selling dance singles based on retail sales across the United States. The Hot Dance Radio Airplay was first published in 2003, ranking the songs based on airplay detections on dance radio.
The airplay chart was unpublished for the first ten weeks and featured 40 titles (it was on its eleventh week when it was included in Billboard's print and online editions), which means that its unofficial start date was August 16, 2003 (the unpublished chart and data would be included in 2018 after Billboard updated the website).[1] Billboard made the chart listing official on October 25, 2003, with 25 titles, which would last until December 2014 when it returned to 40 titles.[2]
