It's hard to earn a perfect score on "Dancing With the Stars" — but it still happens every year.
Here's the first couple to earn perfect 10s across the board on each season.
The season's eventual winner Monaco, and her partner Alec Mazo, finally captured that elusive perfect score during their finale freestyle to Jennifer Lopez's "Let's Get Loud."
Week five was very good to former wrestler Keibler and her pro partner Tony Dovolani after they delivered a flawless samba.

Olympic champion speed skater Ohno paired with then-new pro Julianne Hough to earn the first perfect score of season four.
The pair would end up winning the mirrorball trophy that season.
"The Cheetah Girls" star Bryan's shocking elimination was made all the more stunning by the fact that she'd just performed a perfect Paso Doble with partner Mark Ballas.
After earning high scores throughout the season, Olympic figure skating champion Yamaguchi and pro Ballas finally received a perfect score for their high-octane jive.
Actor and former "DWTS" host Burke and pro partner Derek Hough's pristine foxtrot was just the first step toward their season-seven victory.
The "Sex and the City" and "Switched at Birth" actor Marini had a fairly successful foray into the world of ballroom.
His perfect Argentine tango with Burke was just one of his many memorable moments on the show.
Singer Mya and her partner Dmitry Chaplin seemed poised for a season nine victory after a sizzling 1970s samba to Donna Summer's "Bad Girls."
But the trophy would eventually go to another well-known vocalist, Donnie Osmond.
After a rocky samba in the previous week, Olympic gold medalist figure skater Lysacek was looking to redeem himself in the eyes of the voters and partner Anna Trebunskaya.
He did just that, earning a perfect score for an Argentine tango.
"Dirty Dancing" alum Grey and pro partner Derek Hough struck gold with their sensual rumba to Foreigner's "Waiting for a Girl Like You." They remained at the top for the rest of the season and made their way to the winners' circle.

They scored a touchdown with their Argentine tango.
Former "E! News" host Menounos and partner Derek Hough delivered a knockout punch in week seven with a jaw-dropping Paso Doble.
Bryan got a second shot at "DWTS" glory during the all-star season. This time, she was partnered with Louis Van Amstel, and they earned rave reviews for their rumba.
But Bryan was once again ousted in a shocking elimination exactly five years to the day of her last dismissal from the ballroom.
Actor Zendaya and partner Val Chmerkovskiy teamed up with another pro, Gleb Savchenko, for an amazing salsa which brought in the first perfect score of season 16.
Another "Saved by the Bell" alum followed in the footsteps of Lopez's perfection. Berkley and Chmerkovskiy reached the milestone in week six with their cha-cha.
With partner Peta Murgatroyd, actor and singer Maslow wowed the judges with a contemporary masterpiece set to Disney's "Frozen" track "Let It Go."
"Pretty Little Liars" star Parrish and her partner, Chmerkovskiy, took a huge risk with their jazz routine, which had to be learned in two days after their original idea was scrapped by producers.
It paid off— they earned the first perfect score of the season.
Willis and Chmerkovskiy treated the audience to a classic rumba. It impressed the judge and resulted in the first perfect score of the season.
During switch-up week, actor PenaVega took a break from her original partner, Ballas, to team up with Derek Hough for a tango.
The new pair earned the first perfect score of the season.
The first perfect score of season 22 came on Icons Night as meteorologist Zee and her pro partner Chmerkovskiy danced a winning waltz to "I Have Nothing."

It all went down in week four after her jazz routine with Chmerkovskiy.

The two did a jaw-dropping Paso Doble to "Higher" by Ally Brooke and Matoma.

The couple later came in second place in the whole competition.
Later that same night, comedian Wayne Brady and partner Witney Carson also earned perfect 10s with a samba to "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock. They ended the season in third place.
