@HaleyInHart look at all these new stations! I'm assuming its from a syndicated show but still

Quote:Ben Rector’s “Brand New” is the highest charting of three additions to the Top 40 at hot adult contemporary radio.

Spun 468 times during the January 17-23 tracking week (+146), “Brand New” enjoys a seven-place lift to #37 on this week’s Mediabase Hot AC chart.

Justin Timberlake’s “Drink You Away” follows at #39. The song, which was #43 last week, received 401 spins during the most recent tracking week (+73).

Haley Reinhart’s cover of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” claims the #40 position this week. Up one place from last week’s mark, the song received 376 weekly spins (+40).

Quote:Hot adult contemporary radio stations play a variety of classic hits and contemporary mainstream music aimed at an adult audience. Some Hot AC stations concentrate slightly more on pop music and alternative rock to target the Generation Z audience, though they include the more youth-oriented teen pop, urban and rhythmic dance tracks...Generally, Hot AC radio stations target their music output towards the 18-54 age group and a demographic audience of both men and women.

Quote:AC radio stations may play mainstream music, but they will exclude hip hop, dance tracks, hard rock, and some forms of teen pop, as they are less popular amongst the target demographic of these radio stations, which is intended for an adult audience. AC radio often targets the 25–44 age group, the demographic that has received the most attention from advertisers since the 1960s. A common practice in recent years is that many adult contemporary stations play less newer music because they also give ample airtime to hits of the past, so the de-emphasis on new songs slows the progression of the AC chart.

Quote:Haley Reinhart came in 3rd on the tenth season of Idol and she’s making in-roads with a gum commercial. Her gorgeous cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” achieved two milestones this week going top 40 on HAC and top 20 on AC. It’s relatively rare for covers to get a lot of love on mainstream radio and covers for commercials have even less luck. It’s a testament to the quality of this one that it is resonating with audiences.
