Dance Sweep: September 1, 2012...

Hey guys, thanks for coming back, it's time to wrap up this week's "chart sweeps" of the newest music to hit the Billboard charts this week, and I'll finish with the latest dance tracks in the clubs and on radio.

On the DJ-polled Hot Dance Club Play chart, Zedd with Matthew Koma reach the #1 spot this week with "Spectrum" (oddly, the first of two songs with that title in the top-5).

The top debut belongs to newly-minted American Idol judge Mariah Carey, who has has fifteen #1 dance club hits during her career, from 1991's "Someday" to 2009's "Obsessed". Coming in at #42 with a good chance of becoming her sweet sixteenth if "Triumphant (Get 'em)", featuring Meek Mill and Rick Ross...

...and to get an idea of that song in the clubs, here's the dance version...

Singer NiRe AllDai has her first hit at #45 with "Hella Bad" (I guess the answer to No Doubt?)...

Puero Rican singer Noelia follows up her first dance hit, the top-20 "Kiss Me", with "My Everything" at #49...


Meanwhile over on the monitored Dance Airplay/Mixshow chart, Calvin Harris and Ne-Yo's "Let's Go" hangs on to #1 for  an astonishing eighth week (the longest stay this year), while only one song enters, Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Good Time". While Carly's "Call Me Maybe" made the top-10 here, this is one-man-act Owl City's first time on this list...

And on the Global Dance Songs chart, Rihanna remains on top for a fifth week with "Where Have You Been", while one song debuts, French DJ David Guetta and Dutch spinner Nicky Romero with "Metropolis". Guetta is the "king" of this chart, racking up eleven #1 singles here, from 2007's "Love Is Gone" through this year's "Turn Me On". Romero, on the other hand, has been on here twice, peaking at #13 with "Wild One Two" with Jack Back, Guetta, and Sia...

That rounds it up for today...stay tuned tomorrow for part one of this week's "Album Sweep" with the newest records selling in America, and "Brit Sweep", with the latest in the UK. Cheers!
