At the time, Minogue also held the third spot on the chart with "Higher", her collaboration with British recording artist Taio Cruz, becoming the first artist to claim two of the top three spots at the same time in the American dance chart's history.

Minogue crowns the list with "Better Than Today," from her "Aphrodite" album, while two rungs down, she's featured on Taio Cruz's "Higher" (with Travie McCoy). "Better Than Today" is Minogue's sixth Dance/Club Play Songs No. 1, and the third straight topper from "Aphrodite." The album previously yielded the leaders "All the Lovers" and "Get Outta My Way." "I absolutely love knowing that there's such huge support for my songs in the U.S. club scene," Minogue tells Billboard. "To hit the No. 1 spot three times in a row is amazing and to break a Club chart record with two tracks in the top three is wonderful." "Higher" was originally a solo Cruz effort from his "Rokkstar" album, but was reissued outside the U.S. with Minogue on guest vocals, and in America with McCoy. Yet, dance clubs in the U.S. were serviced with "Higher" remixes featuring both Minogue and McCoy (including versions that blended the two together). Hence, all three acts share space on the Dance/Club Play Songs chart listing for "Higher." Minogue kicked off her lavish Les Folies tour in Herning, Denmark, Feb. 19. The trek continues across Europe through April 12. After finishing the European leg of the journey with a five-night stand at London's O2 Arena, Mingoue ventures to Japan, with a new configuration of the tour (Aphrodite Live 2011), beginning April 23. Minogue reaches North America April 28 in Montreal, with her first U.S. date in Boston April 29. The tour wraps May 22 at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The record-breaking chart queen adds, "I can't wait to bring my Aphrodite tour to the States to celebrate!" Keith Caulfield is Billboard's associate director of charts/retail and manages the Billboard 200 and a host of additional charts.

Better than Today
Chart performance.
During the week of 20 November 2010, "Better than Today" made its UK Singles Chart debut at number 67. This was based purely on digital sales from the album as the single was not released until 3 December 2010. The day before its release, it reached a new peak of number 40, before dropping to number 63, only to go on to peak at number 32 on 18 December 2010. As a result, "Better than Today" is one of Minogue's lowest charting singles in the United Kingdom. It proved to be her least successful UK charting since 2008's "The One" which peaked at number 36. The single had similar results in other European countries, peaking at number 27 in Scotland and number 63 in France. 
 
In the United States, "Better than Today" debuted at number 44 on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. It rose to number-one on the issue date entitled 5 March 2011, not only becoming Minogue's sixth number-one single on the chart, but also her third consecutive number-one from the "Aphrodite" album on that chart.
