We study the effect of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction on pairwise quantum discord, entanglement, and classical correlation in the anisotropic XY spin-half chain. Analytical expressions for both quantum and classical correlations are obtained from the spin-spin correlation functions. These pairwise quantities exhibit interesting behaviors in relation to the relative strengths of the physical parameters. For the infinite chain, we show that the quantum discord can be useful to highlight the quantum phase transition, especially for the long-distance spins, where entanglement decays rapidly. We observe nonanalyticities of the derivatives of both quantum and classical correlations with respect to the magnetic intensity at the critical point; interestingly, the DM interaction weakens the critical behavior in the derivatives of these correlations. While the DM interaction suppresses the standard behaviors of the XY model, it enhances surprisingly the pairwise entanglement for the third nearest neighbor spins.
