History
Chart Show Dance logo from January 2013 to June 2014.
Chart Show Hits logo from September 2016 to May 2018.

On 17 March 2010, Dance Nation TV replaced Flaunt, specialising in dance music, chart remixes and mashups of popular songs. On 3 January 2013, Dance Nation TV was replaced with and rebranded as Chart Show Dance, after the last video shown in Dance Nation branding was Amelia Lily - Shut Up (Wideboys Remix).[1]

Chart Show Dance was launched on Freesat on 15 July 2013, replacing Scuzz on the platform.[2]

From 20 November to 31 December 2014, Chart Show Dance was temporarily renamed to Dance Xmas for Christmas like Blissmas. It did the same from 1 to 31 December 2015, but this time as Dancember. On 1 July 2016, it rebranded again, but this time as Chart Show Summer.

On 22 September 2016, the channel was rebranded as Chart Show Hits. It, along with Chart Show TV, received a new logo on 1 May 2018, in addition to launching in Romania that year, along with Chart Show TV was launched in Romania in 2018. From 5 June until 4 September 2018, the channel was temporarily renamed as Summer Hits. From 1 November until 28 December 2018, it received a temporary rename to Christmas Hits, taking over from defunct sister channel Bliss. From 1 April until 7 June 2019, it was temporarily renamed again, this time as Global Hits.

On 1 November 2019, the channel was rebranded as Trace Latina following TRACE's takeover of Sony's music channels. The last song to be played before the rebrand was "Atrévete" by Nicky Jam featuring Sech but was cut halfway through the song similarly to the sister channels' changes.

The channel closed on 1 June 2020, with its content moving to a block on Trace Urban from 11am to 3pm. The final music video played was "Vete Pa La" by Lele Pons, but the channel pulled the plug near the end of the video, similar to former sister channels Flava and Scuzz's closures, and the last full song played was Viva Forever by the Spice Girls. However, the channel was not removed from the Trace YouTube channel's About page.
