In 2002, eleven singles topped the chart. "The Ketchup Song (Aserejé)" by Las Ketchup had the longest-running chart-topping dance single of 2002, for twelve consecutive weeks. Kylie Minogue and Sophie Ellis-Bextor had two songs reach the apex of the Dance chart, more than any other artist with "In Your Eyes" and "Love at First Sight" by Minogue, and "Murder on the Dancefloor" and "Get Over You" for Ellis-Bextor. Other chart-topping dance singles from 2002 include Ellis-Bextor's "Murder on the Dancefloor" and Elvis Presley vs. JXL's "A Little Less Conversation", which spent eleven and nine weeks atop the charts, respectively. __TOC__
