"Search" is the fourth Dance Club Songs leader from Madonna's album Madame X, which arrived as her ninth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in June 2019. It follows "Medellín," with Maluma (June 29), "I Rise" (Aug. 31) and "Crave," with Swae Lee (Nov. 16). The set is her first to generate four chart-topping hits since Confessions on a Dance Floor yielded a quartet in 2005-06: "Hung Up," "Sorry," "Get Together" and "Jump."
The Dance Chart is very strange and apparently has nothing to do with sales, it's just a survey! From the article, "Dance Club Songs, which measures reports submitted by a national sample of club DJs (and which launched as a national survey in the Billboard issue dated Aug. 28, 1976)"

R8 the Dance chart is a measure of what’s being played in the clubs. As R1 pointed out they get the data from the club DJs who are playing the music, which I guess, could translate into “popularity.”
For some perspective as to why this is a milestone from Billboard’s perspective:
“With 50 No. 1s on Dance Club Songs, which measures reports submitted by a national sample of club DJs (and which launched as a national survey in the Billboard issue dated Aug. 28, 1976), Madonna outpaces runner-up Rihanna, who has notched 33 No. 1s. Beyoncé and Janet Jackson follow with 22 and 20 leaders, respectively.”

R10 I know, right? Or that she’s still setting records of any sort, especially with twinks at the disco. Maybe the don’t have the baggage of knowing her but still like the music. It’s a mystery. And crazy, really:
“With the coronation, Madonna additionally becomes the first act to have scored at least one No. 1 on Dance Club Songs in five separate decades, having tallied nine in the 1980s, 13 in the '90s, 18 in the 2000s, nine in the '10s and, now, one (so far) in the '20s.”
“Madonna is also the first act ever to score as many as 50 No. 1s on any single Billboard chart, extending her record over George Strait, who has earned 44 leaders on Hot Country Songs.”
“‘Search’ further marks Madonna's 10th consecutive Dance Club Songs No. 1, her longest such streak. (Katy Perry holds the record with 18 straight No. 1s in 2009-17.) “

Cher has 8 as of today according to Billboard. But it’s early in the afternoon, so that may rise.
Yeah, pity the poor Billboard writer that had to mine five decades of data, do the cross-checking and then publish all of this nonsense about a has-been.

R26 What’s the connection between orthodontics and good cheekbones (or lack of)?
by Anonymous | reply 32 | February 14, 2020 11:50 PM |
r32, standard practice has been that the ideal involves widened arches and retracted jaws. Myopically, and in 2D, this creates a "perfect smile", but in 3D and taking into account the balance and contours of the complete skull, this creates a very flat profile, along with near parity between the cheekbones and corners of the lower jaw. This result runs counter to the facial aesthetics that humans usually tag as "beautiful".

The billboard dance/club chart is a joke. There’s a panel of about 100 DJ’s from around the country who submit a list every week of the songs they’re playing in light/medium/heavy rotation as well as a top 5. There’s a point system to tabulate. The only problem is that there’s independent “promoters” hired by the record labels to push the records onto these DJ’s. These promoters have various means to get the DJs to chart the records whether or not they’re actually playing them. I can safely assure you no DJ at some hick bar/nightclub in middle America is playing the latest Madonna record.

It's interesting to me how she has NO defenders on Datalounge anymore. At the beginning of the tour, when she was releasing the album of "Madame X," there was still one absolutely diehard fan who kept posting over and over again about how wonderful and ageless she was and how the "Madame X" album was a masterpiece that would have tons of hit singles and how the tour would bring her back to the center of popular culture again. But since no hit singles emerged from the album, and the tour was such an unprecedented disaster, even he has kept silent (for which thank God).
She's really over for good now. It will be nothing but fucking young rentboys and making rare unheralded appearances at small nightclubs from here on in. And then she'll be arrested for shooting a young gigolo whose corpse will end up in her pool, and she'll slither down her grand staircase for the news cameras as she dementedly announces, "And now, Mr Ritchie... I'm ready for my close-up!"
