Where are the "dance artists" on the billboard chart ?

I remember seeing the likes of CeCe Peniston, Crystal Waters, Barbara Tucker, Ultra Nate, Duane Harden, etc on the Billboard dance/club chart.
Now, it's dominated by Pop Artists.
It seems, unless your label has the "budget" for a chart position AND there's a pop DJ on your project, you're relegated to DJ, Beatport, and Traxsource charts.
I gotta say, at this point, I trust those charts more, as they are more authentic and true to the genre which they promote.
Check out the Billboard Dance chart to see what I mean.....

Thank God that charts don't make or break an artist, even though it DOES look good on paper.

Thoughts?

    Any time I see a track that is by or featuring Inaya Day I know I'm going to like it. I can't remember the last time one of my sets DJ-ing did not include the vocal styling s of Inaya Day. There's a question of credibility that arises with Billboard dance/club charts when Inaya Day's name is absent from their list.
