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 Donna Summer achieved 14 number-one songs on the U.S. Billboard Dance Club Songs chart between 1976 and 2010 before dying in May 2012, and ranked sixth among the top 100 Dance Club Songs artists overall. Summer gained her sixteenth number-one posthumously in 2018 with "Hot Stuff 2018".  Summer's first two chart-toppers ("Love to Love You Baby" and "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It") occurred in 1975–1976, when Billboard published multiple dance charts that were city-specific.  During this time, Billboard rival publication Record World compiled a nationwide dance chart.  Noted Billboard statistician Joel Whitburn has since "adopted" Record Worlds chart data from the weeks between March 29, 1975 and August 21, 1976 into Billboards club play history.  Billboard columnists, however, only credit Summer with 16 number-ones.
  Summer, known widely as the "Queen of Disco", charted several full-length albums on the dance chart, as Billboard policy at the time allowed this (a common practice in the disco era was to segue together several cuts on a side of a vinyl album to replicate a night at a discothèque).  In 1977, Summer hit number one with three different albums: Four Seasons of Love, I Remember Yesterday and Once Upon a Time.  Her eighth dance chart number-one was "Hot Stuff"/"Bad Girls", two songs that were joined together on her album Bad Girls.  These two songs were released separately as singles and both were also number-ones on the Billboard Hot 100.  Summer has also hit number one twice with "MacArthur Park" — once in 1978 and again with a remix in 2013; her last number one before her passing was in 2010 with "To Paris with Love."  She has had at least one number-one dance hit during the 1970s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.
