Blond:ish tops a Billboard chart for the first time as “Lovers on the Dancefloor,” featuring Kurtis Wells, rises one place to No. 1 on Dance Airplay (dated Sept. 26).

Released June 12 via Maison Arts, the song earned a 33% increase in plays at the format Sept. 11-17, according to Luminate.


“Lovers on the Dancefloor,” which debuted on the chart in July, is Blond:ish’s second Dance Airplay entry.

“Lovers on the Dancefloor” is also the first No. 1, and first overall chart entry, for Wells, who sings on the track. He has also contributed vocals for dance tracks by Anotr, Nils Hoffman and Miramar.

“Lovers on the Dancefloor” is additionally the first Billboard No. 1 for Los Angeles-based boutique label and publishing company Maison Arts. Its roster also includes Suki Waterhouse, Medasin, Bipolar Sunshine and Arc De Soleil.
