The '''Dance Singles Sales''' was a [[record chart]] released weekly by ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine listing each week's best-selling [[Dance music|dance singles]] in the United States. Its previous names include '''Hot Dance/Disco 12-inch Singles Sales''' (1985–1987), '''Hot Dance Music 12-inch Singles Sales''' (1987–1992), and '''Hot Dance Music Maxi-Singles Sales''' (1992–2003). The chart was compiled from a national sample of [[retail stores]], [[mass merchant]]s, and [[internet sales]] reports collected and provided by [[Nielsen SoundScan]]. It was launched on the issue dated March 16, 1985, with the first number-one single being "[[New Attitude (song)|New Attitude]]"/"[[Axel F]]", a [[split album|split single]] by [[Patti LaBelle]] and [[Harold Faltermeyer]] from [[Beverly Hills Cop (soundtrack)|''Beverly Hills Cop'' soundtrack]]. The chart became defunct after the issue dated November 30, 2013, with [[Borgore]]'s "Wild Out" (featuring [[Waka Flocka Flame]] and Paige) as its final number-one single.
