Donna Summer. She had 20 Top 40 hits and 14 of them went top 10.

1) Love to love you baby #2 (1976)
2) I feel love- #6 (1977)
3) Last Dance- #3 (1978)
4) MacArthur's Park #1 (3 weeks 1978)
5) Heaven Knows- #4 (1979)
6) Hot Stuff #1 (3 Weeks 1979)
7) Bad Girls #1 (5 weeks 1979)
8) Dim all the lights- #2 (1979)
9) No more tears (duet with Barbara Streisand) #1 (2 weeks 1979)
10) On the radio- #5 (1980)
11) The wanderer #3 (1980)
12) Love is in control #10 (1982)
13) She works hard for the money #3 (1983)
14) This time I know its for real #7 (1989)

She had 10 #1 dance singles from 1975-1979.
Gloria Gaynor had 5 #1 dance singles
Thelma Houston had only (1) #1 dance single


Although Gloria was the first Queen of Disco, clearly Donna took over and has been dubbed since.

MaDonna was not part of the disco era.
