David Guetta Ties Calvin Harris for Most Dance/Mix Show Airplay No. 1s With ‘Baby Don’t Hurt Me’

David Guetta, Anne-Marie and Coi Leray hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart dated June 3 with “Baby Don’t Hurt Me.”

Guetta achieves his 13th leader on the list, tying him — again — with Calvin Harris for the most since the chart began nearly 20 years ago, in August 2003. On the May 20 ranking, Harris pulled ahead of Guetta thanks to “Miracle” with Ellie Goulding. Notably, that track, which led for two weeks, was remixed by Guetta.

Until their latest leaders, Guetta and Harris were tied with Rihanna, who boasts 12 No. 1s.

The chart’s new leading song, a reworking of Haddaway’s Eurodance classic “What Is Love” (which reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1993), is Anne-Marie’s third Dance/Mix Show Airplay No. 1 and Leray’s first. The song earned core-dance airplay on SiriusXM’s BPM, KMVQ-HD2 San Francisco and Music Choice’s Dance/EDM channel, among other outlets, May 19-25, according to Luminate.
