The chart originally included reportedclub play.[1]

As a result of the increase in the popularity ofdance andelectronic music,Billboard introduced the Dance/Electronic Songs chart in January 2013 to rank the most popular dance and electronic songs in the U.S. according toairplay audience impressions,digital downloads,streaming and reportedclub play and publishes it on a weekly basis.[1] They are tracked by Nielsen SoundScan, Nielsen BDS, BDS from streaming services includingSpotify andXbox Music, and from a nationwide select panel of 140DJs; outside of club play data, it uses the same methodology as the all-genreBillboard Hot 100.[1] It became the first multi-metric dance chart sinceBillboard began tracking dance music in 1976, when theDance Club Songs was created solely by club play data.[3] Songs will be eligible to chart on the Dance/Electronic Songs chart based on their "core sound and tempo", however dance remixes of songs which were originallypop,R&B,rap or a different genre are not eligible for inclusion, regardless of whether it appears on either the Dance Club Songs orDance/Mix Show Airplay charts.[1]Descending songs are removed from the chart after 78 weeks if their ranking drops below number three.[4]
In February 2013,Billboard announced that U.S.YouTube views would be incorporated into the chart's ranking.[5] In January 2014, the chart's name was modified from "Dance/Electronic Songs" to "Hot Dance/Electronic Songs".[6]
On December 10, 2024,Billboard announced that they would be revamping the chart in order to "better recognize the varied sounds" of the electronic music genre. As of the chart dated January 18, 2025, songs eligible to debut on the chart are those primarily recorded by DJs or producers, with an emphasis on electronic-based production.Billboard concurrently launched a sister chart, theHot Dance/Pop Songs chart, which aims to feature tracks with more of a focus on vocals, melody, and hooks by artists not rooted in the dance genre. Songs co-billed to both a DJ/producer and a singer who extends beyond the dance genre may be eligible for both Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and Hot Dance/Pop Songs.[7] At the same time as the revamping of the chart, the chart was reduced from 50 to 25 positions.[8] Artists such asCharli XCX,bbno$ andKesha, all of which had multiple songs on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs on the issue dated January 11, 2025, were completely removed off the chart the next week and debuted on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart.[9]
