second paragraph[edit]

Is there a source for the claims made in the second paragraph of this article?

It should be noted that the Hot Dance Singles Sales once allowed non dance songs or songs that didn't have dance based remixes, that had maxi singles to chart. It was felt that this rule misled the chart's puprose of measuring the sales of dance music, and as a result non dance/non remix maxi singles were banned from this chart. As a result of this, although many urban acts release singles today in the 12" Maxi Single format, they are banned from this chart.

The wording seems rather harsh. I don't recall that this chart tracks non-maxi-singles or that non-dance-oriented music is ineligible. Has Billboard released a statement outlining these rules? -- eo 01:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
