Marshmello - Happier 2. The Chainsmokers - Closer 3. Zedd - The Middle 4. Avicii - Wake Me Up 5. Major Lazer - Lean On the best performing dance album came from Lady Gaga, although if like me you categorise her as pop then Daft Punk have it 1. Lady Gaga - The Fame 2. Daft Punk - Random Access Memories 3. David Guetta - Nothing But The Beat 4. Odesza - In Return 5. The Chainsmokers - Collage

The other aspect is that like I think all of Billboard's decade end lists, they've based their points on weekly positions on this chart regardless of the strength of that week. So Taki Taki is a bigger hit than Get Lucky just because it had less competition

Unfortunately dance music apart from the occasional UK/European dance hit crossover hit seems to have been pretty much finished in the charts in America for a while now
