It's the Wednesday mini dance par-TAY!...

Today, it's the iconic Cher with "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me (Dave Aude radio edit -2010)" Which this week on the Dance/Club Play Songs chart to be released on Billboard.com Thursday (Jan. 20), the song reaches No. 1, making Cher the only leading lady to have notched a No. 1 single on a Billboard chart in each of the last six decades. Which is a pretty damn amazing accomplishment. I hope she keeps having No. 1s for another 60 years... "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" is lifted from Cher's film "Burlesque" and won a Golden Globe Award for best original song Sunday (16). Written by Diane Warren, the ballad was remixed into an uptempo number for dance floors by the likes of Dave Aude, StoneBridge, Edson Pride and Almighty. Cher collected her first number 1 on a Billboard list Aug. 14, 1965, when Sonny and Cher's "I Got You Babe" began its first of three weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. In the '70s, she racked up a trio of Hot 100 No. 1s on her own with the story songs "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" (1971), "Half-Breed" (1973) and "Dark Lady" (1974). She notched another '70s No. 1 with Sonny, "All I Ever Need Is You," on the Adult Contemporary airplay chart in 1971. Moving forward to the '80s, the AC chart continued to be a friend to Cher, as she locked up No. 1s on the survey in 1989 with "After All," with Peter Cetera, and her iconic "If I Could Turn Back Time." In the '90s, Cher stormed back to the Hot 100, where she reigned for four weeks at No. 1 in 1999 with the title track from her album "Believe." The song would go on to finish 1999 has the year's top Hot 100 single. It also hit No. 1 on our Dance/Club Songs chart in 1999, as did two more singles from "Believe": "Strong Enough" and "All or Nothing." In the '00s, Cher landed a further pair of No. 1s on Dance/Club Play Songs: "A Different Kind of Love Song" in 2002 and "When the Money's Gone" in 2003, both from her album "Living Proof."
