Avicii, Katy Perry Make Historic Moves On Dance Charts

 

Avicii becomes the first act in the relatively short 13-month history of Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart to occupy the top two positions, as "Wake Me  Up!" enjoys a record-extending 23rd week at No. 1 and "Hey Brother" rises 4-2. The latter track claims Digital Gainer honors, as it shifts 63,000 downloads (up 8%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. "Brother" also edges up Dance/Electronic Digital Songs (3-2) and Dance Club Songs (6-3), while "Up!" returns for an 11th week at No. 1 on Dance Streaming Songs (2-1; 2.5 million U.S. streams, according to Nielsen BDS).
