context_page_description: This is a list of artists with the most number-ones on the U.S. Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. Madonna currently holds the record for the most number-one songs in the 43-year history of the chart, with 50, which is the record for any Billboard chart. The only other artists to have achieved more than 20 chart toppers are Rihanna and Beyoncé. Janet Jackson has accumulated 20 number-ones during her career, followed by Katy Perry with 19, and Jennifer Lopez with 18. Mariah Carey and Kristine W are tied with 17. Donna Summer has 16, Lady Gaga has 15, while Dave Audé, Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, Kylie Minogue, David Guetta, and Whitney Houston have attained 14 apiece. Two acts have attained thirteen number-one songs: Deborah Cox and Yoko Ono.
context_section_description: American singer and songwriter Lady Gaga has achieved fifteen number-one songs, and ranked 16th among the top 100 Dance Club Songs artists in this category. Her first was the second single from her debut album The Fame (2008), "Poker Face", in February 2009. She topped the chart three more times in 2009, with "LoveGame" in July, "Paparazzi" in November, and "Bad Romance" in December. "Bad Romance" reached number-one in just four weeks following its debut and spent two consecutive weeks atop the chart. At the time, Gaga was one of only three acts to have achieved four number-one songs in a single calendar year, along with Beyoncé (who also achieved four in 2009) and Rihanna.
  Throughout 2010, Gaga collected three more number-one songs. Two similarly titled tracks, "Telephone" (featuring Beyoncé) and the remix of "Video Phone" (Beyoncé featuring Lady Gaga) became her fifth and sixth chart toppers in February and May, respectively. "Telephone" topped the chart in its fifth week, becoming Gaga's second fastest ascent to the peak after "Bad Romance" which did so in four weeks. In July, "Alejandro" became her seventh number-one out of only eight appearances; her 2008 debut single "Just Dance" reached a peak of number two.
  In 2011, Gaga scored four number-one songs in a calendar year for a second time. "Born This Way" and "Judas" became her eighth and ninth chart-toppers in April and June, respectively. "The Edge of Glory" became Gaga's tenth number-one on August 13; with this chart entry, Gaga broke the record for logging 10 chart toppers in the shortest time span in just two years, five months and three weeks, and became the twelfth artist in the history of the chart to log at least 10. The record was previously held by Rihanna, who had achieved ten number-ones between 2005 and 2009 in four years and five months. It also meant that Gaga had tallied the most number-ones since "Poker Face" had done so; Beyoncé and Katy Perry had both achieved seven in the same time frame. It was followed up by her eleventh with "Yoü and I" in October.
  In January 2012, "Marry the Night" became Gaga's twelfth number-one. The song became the fifth from Gaga's second studio album Born This Way (2011) to top the Dance Club Songs chart and also matched "Telephone" for her second-quickest ascent to the peak following its debut at five weeks. It once again meant that Gaga had logged the most number-one songs on the chart since "Poker Face" did so, although Beyoncé had since increased her tally from seven to nine. "Applause", the lead single from her third studio album Artpop (2013), became her thirteenth to top the chart in October 2013. Gaga's fourteenth number-one was "Til It Happens to You" in January 2016. A ballad about sexual assault and rape on college campuses in its original form, it was commissioned with nearly 30 remixes from various remixers and producers including Dave Audé, Tracy Young and Dirty Pop, transforming it into a club track. With her 2018 single "Shallow" reaching number one, Gaga moved up to number eight on the ranking, amassing a total of 15 chart toppers.
