Madonna - -clubland's most enduring and familiar face -- is Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play artist of the year. Her collaboration with Britney Spears ("Me Against the Music") is the Hot Dance Singles Sales title of the year. In fact, Madonna holds the top three positions on that tally, with "Music" followed by "Nothing Fails" and "Love Profusion."



" Then there's that Club Play recap, where the top six all come from the distaff side. Madonna is No. 1 after relinquishing the title last year to Justin Timberlake. She's followed by Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Annie Lennox, Britney Spears and McLachlan.

Madonna and Spears are the top two artists on the Hot Dance Singles Sales recap. Together, they have the No. 1 song of the year, "Me Against the Music," followed by Madonna's "Nothing Fails"/"Nobody Knows Me" at No. 2 and "Love Profusion" at No. 3.

DANCE-CHART MILESTONE

That makes Madonna the first person in chart history to have the top three songs of the year on the dance sales recap. The only acts that have come close are Soul II Soul, which topped the 1989 list with "Keep On Movin"' and "Back to Life," and M People, which was No. 2 and No. 3 in 1994 with "Moving On Up" and "One Night in Heaven."- Fred Bronson

No real surprise though!
