Dance Sweep: December 29, 2012...

Hey gang, it's time to wrap up today's "chart sweeps" of the newest songs making their way on to the weekly music charts at Billboard magazine. I'll finish with the latest dance songs on the radio and in the clubs...

On the DJ-polled Hot Dance Club Play chart, Ellie Goulding claims her first #1 hit with "Anything Could Happen".

The top debut is by American Idol's first winner, Kelly Clarkson, who had her first two #1 club singles this year, with "Stronger" and "Dark Side". She's now at #31 with "Catch My Breath"...

Nicki Minaj raids the chart at #46 with "Va Va Voom". It's the followup to her first #1 dance hit as a lead artist, "Pound The Alarm"...

The final new entry is by R&B singer Ciara at #49 with "Sorry". Her biggest dance hit as a lead artist so far is the #17 "Love Sex Magic" in 2009. (Love the deep house bass on this mix)..

 Meanwhile, over on the radio-monitored Hot Dance Airplay chart, the Swedish House Mafia cling to the top with "Don't You Worry Child" for an eighth week...

The single debut here this week is the Wanted with "I Found You" at #25.  The vocal group topped this chart in April with "Glad You Came"...
