Billboard magazine have just debuted their new Dance/Electronic chart that is exclusively comprised of the latest EDM releases, with pop producer Will.i.am currently holding the number one spot.
To avoid any confusion as to what exactly qualifies as EDM, Billboard have said that: "titles eligible for the chart will be determined based on the song's core sound and tempo."
There's no room for crossovers though, as tracks that remix samples from genres such as - r&b, hip-hop, rock and pop won't be eligible for chart listing.
The Dance\Electronic Songs chart will take four factors into consideration when tallying it's listings - digital sales, the number of radio plays, data streaming and finally an esteemed panel of 140 club DJs will report their playlists to Billboard.
Will.i.am and Britney Spears currently top the list with Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia and Zedd all following behind, making it into the top ten.
