List of UK Dance Singles Chart number ones of 2005

The UK Dance Chart is a weekly chart that ranks the biggest-selling dance singles in the United Kingdom, and is compiled by the Official Charts Company.[1] In 2005, the chart was based on sales of CD singles and 12-inch singles, and was published in the UK magazines ChartsPlus and Music Week[2] and on BBC Radio 1's official website.[3] During the year, 40 singles reached number one.

Madonna had the biggest-selling dance hit of 2005 with her single "Hung Up".

The biggest-selling dance hit of 2005 was "Hung Up" by Madonna[4]—it sold nearly 328,000 copies in the UK and topped the UK Singles Chart.[5] "Hung Up" was also the longest-running number one of year, spending four weeks at the top; it was the longest running number one since "Lola's Theme" by Shapeshifters had spent five weeks at number one the previous year. Other high-selling dance singles included "I Like the Way" by Bodyrockers,[4] which sold over 188,000 copies, and "Shot You Down" by Audio Bullys featuring Nancy Sinatra,[4] which sold nearly 161,000 singles. Both "I Like the Way" and "Shot You Down" reached Number 3 on the UK Singles Chart.[6][7] Four acts topped the chart with more than one single. They were: Daft Punk, Pendulum, Basement Jaxx and The Prodigy. The only act to top the chart with more than two singles was Mylo, who reached number one with "Destroy Rock & Roll", "In My Arms" and "Doctor Pressure".

Chart-topping singles from the 2005 UK Dance Chart also included a new remix of "Insomnia" by Faithless[8] and "Do Your Thing" by Basement Jaxx, which reached number one after being used in an advert for British television network ITV.[9] The Prodigy topped the chart with a rerelease of their previous singles "Voodoo People" and "Out of Space", which were remixed by fellow chart-toppers Pendulum and Audio Bullys.[10]
