26 years to the chart week after notching her first No. 1 on Dance/Club Play Songs, Madonna rules for a 40th time, rising 2-1 with 'Celebration.' She easily extends her lead for most No. 1s in the chart's history, pulling further ahead of runner-up Janet Jackson, who has 18.
Madonna first appeared on the tally with 'Everybody' on the chart dated Nov. 6, 1982, eventually taking the cut to No. 3. Her follow-up, 'Burning Up/Physical Attraction' (counted as one title in Billboard's archives), also reached No. 3.
The third time was the charm for Madonna, as the double-sided 'Holiday/Lucky Star' marked her first No. 1 stay beginning Sept. 24, 1983.
