New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Ono, 80, tops the chart with a plethora of remixes of her seminal track "
Walking On Thin Ice" which will be announced on Billboard.com today, October 3, with the magazine hitting the shelves on October 5. The Hot Dance Club Play Chart is the most authoritative dance chart in America, meaning that this week more American clubbers are dancing to Yoko Ono than to any other artist, whether that be the dance genre or the mainstream.

Danny Tenaglia, R3hab, Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), Dave Audé, Ralphi Rosario, Rich Morel, Emjae, Tedd Patterson and
Peter Rauhofer.
This year, also, Ono celebrated her 80th birthday and only last month released her brand new studio album "Take Me to the Land of Hell", which received huge critical acclaim:
