WireImageIn an exciting convergence of pop music history, two iconic artists, Britney Spears and Madonna, have simultaneously returned to the same Billboard charts. Despite their differing circumstances, the two legendary performers have both earned debuts on this week's Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart, which ranks the bestselling dance and electronic tracks across America.
Spears adds yet another win to her discography with her new single, "Mind Your Business," a collaboration with Black Eyed Peas singer Will.I.Am. The tune opens at No. 1 on the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart, beating out every other title in the genre this time around.
Meanwhile, Madonna earns her own rebound onto the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart. Her track "Lucky Star," originally released decades ago, makes a triumphant debut on the chart, debuting at No. 17. It's not a new song, but it's new to that specific ranking.
Madonna's resurgence on the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart possibly can be attributed to various factors, including the release of a remix album centered around "Lucky Star." This fresh take on a classic hit likely spurred renewed interest, prompting fans to purchase the track and thus propelling it onto the chart. Also, the recent anniversary of her debut album, and thus her career in the spotlight, may have contributed to its resurgence as well.
For Spears, "Mind Your Business" marks her fourth No. 1, twelfth top 10, and twenty-fourth overall hit on the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart. Madonna now boasts an impressive twenty one appearances on the list. She likely would have earned more throughout her career, but much of her output came and went before the inception of this ranking, so only when certain circumstances occur do her previous hits find their way to contemporary lists.
