★ Solo artists are alphabetized by last name, Groups by group name excluding "A," "An" and "The."
★ Each act's total of number one U.S. dance hits is shown after their name.
★ All artists who are mentioned in song credits are listed here; this includes one-time pairings of otherwise solo artists and those appearing as "featured".
★ Many dance artists and producers utilize aliases and pseudonyms - this list shows whichever artist name was used on the record (for example, Size 9 gets one credit for "I'm Ready," instead of Josh Wink).
★ Artists associated with a group who reached number one, yet have their own solo page in Wikipedia are ''not'' listed here, unless they hit number one as a solo artist.
