Madonna Notches 43rd No. 1 on Dance/Club Play Songs

(Billboard) "Madonna earns her record-extending 43rd No. 1 on Billboard's Dance/Club Play Songs chart, as "Turn Up the Radio" lifts 2-1. (The ranking will refresh on Billboard.com Thursday, Aug. 30.)

"Radio" is Madonna's third Dance/Club Play Songs No. 1 from "MDNA," which bowed atop the Billboard 200 the week of April 14. "Give Me All Your Luvin'," featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., led the week of March 31, while "Girl Gone Wild" reached No. 1 just three weeks later.

"Radio" is headed for radio, too: Interscope Records begins seeking airplay for the song at mainstream top 40 stations on Sept. 25.

With her 43rd leading title on Dance/Club Play Songs, Madonna pulls further away from runner-up Janet Jackson, who has 19. Beyonce and Rihanna follow with 18 No. 1s each, trailed by Kristine W (16) and Mariah Carey (15).

Looking forward, with one more No. 1 on Dance/Club Play Songs, the Material Girl would claim even more historic honors.

Upon her latest coronation, Madonna is now one No. 1 away from tying George Strait's record for the most toppers on any single Billboard chart. The King of Country has sat at the Country Songs chart's throne with 44 titles between 1981 and 2009. With one more No. 1 on Dance/Club Play Songs, the Queen of Pop would tie Strait for unmatched Billboard chart royalty.

Given her multi-format appeal, as opposed to Strait's status as a country-exclusive act (and an unparalleled one, at that), Madonna leads not only Strait but also all artists for the most No. 1s on all Billboard charts combined. With "Radio" ruling Dance/Club Play Songs, Madonna logs her record-extending 156th leader on an active, current-based domestic Billboard survey.

Here's a breakdown of Madonna's No. 1 sums on active, current-based U.S. charts: 43, Dance/Club Play Songs; 33, Hot Dance Singles Sales; 15, Hot Singles Sales; 12, Billboard Hot 100; 9, Radio Songs; 9, Music Video Sales; 8, Billboard 200; 7, Dance/Mix Show Airplay; 5, Adult Contemporary; 4, Internet Albums; 3, Digital Albums; 2, Dance/Electronic Albums; 2, Digital Songs; 2, Hot Digital Tracks; 1, Pop Songs; 1, Tastemaker Albums.

Tiesto, SiriusXM to Launch Radio Show Contest For College Students

(Billboard) Tiësto and SiriusXM are collaborating on an upcoming contest that would give a select number of college students the opportunity to host their own one-hour radio show on the Dutch DJ's Club Life Radio channel, with a final winner handed a monthly slot for as long as six months.

For each of the fifteen stops on Tiësto's Club Life College Invasion Tour -- which launches October 2 at Syracuse University -- a new winner will receive concert tickets and create an hour-long mix to be played over the satellite radio channel, with Tiësto choosing the best of the fifteen at the end of the tour.

"We have always valued and supported new music and artists," said Scott Greenstein, president/chief content officer at SiriusXM, in a statement. "And Tiësto has long been on the cutting edge of the dance music culture, so we are looking forward to seeing who Tiësto chooses to host a special monthly show on his SiriusXM channel."

Tiësto's radio channel was announced March 23, the same day he was set to headline the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, and functions as a 24/7 showcase of the DJ's tracks as well as those by other EDM artists, and curated by Tiësto. He also topped Forbes' recent list of the 10 highest-paid DJ's in the world, raking in $22 million over the past year, with a reported nightly average of $250,000. He joined the likes of Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia and Steve Aoki on the list.

"My College Invasion Tour is all about giving students around the US an unforgettable experience," he said in a statement. "This program I've built with SiriusXM is an extension of that experience and I hope it will encourage the creative side of my fans too."
