Footnotes:

• Japanese chart positions listed are for Oricon's International single sales chart.
• "Spotlight" (1988) was not released commercially in the US and therefore ineligible for the Hot 100, but did receive enough radio airplay to peak at #32 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.
• ¹ "Everybody" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100 but peaked on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Chart at #7.
• ² "Burning Up" charted on the Hot Dance Club Play chart as a double-sided hit, with "Physical Attraction" on the B-side.
• ³ "Holiday" and "Lucky Star" charted together on the Hot Dance Music/Club play chart as a double-sided hit. "Lucky Star" also bubbled under the UK Top 75 singles chart at number 171 in September 1983.
• ⁴ "Into the Groove" appeared only as the B-side on the US 12-inch release of "Angel." At the time, this made it ineligible to enter the Hot 100 or Hot 100 Singles Sales charts. However, the Variety Bestselling Singles Sales chart ranked it NUMBER ONE out of ALL singles, not just 12-inchers, for six straight weeks starting in the 6/12/85 issue. Variety listed "Angel" as a separate single, apparently assigning all the 12-inch's sales points to "Into the Groove." It also charted on the U.S. R&B chart, as well as hitting number one on the Hot Dance Club Play chart (where it was listed as a double-sided hit along with "Angel").
• ⁵ A You Can Dance vinyl maxi DJ-set charted on Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart as "LP cuts".
• ^5a "Keep it Together" was released as a double a-side in Australia with Vogue.
• ⁶ Including The Holiday Collection: Limited single EP release to promote The Immaculate Collection.
• ⁷ Not commercially released in the US

• ⁹ Britney Spears featuring Madonna (appears on the Spears album In the Zone).
• ¹⁰ "Love Profusion" was originally released in Australia, Italy and the United Kingdom on November 21, 2003. It was later also released in North America and in France on March 16, 2004.
• ¹¹ "Hung Up" has been number one in following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Honduras, Hungary, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland (Dance & International charts only), Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Macedonia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom (total of 43 countries, a record).
