I've been following the Hot AC format since 2004, and listening to it since 2001. I have to say that I am disappointed in the direction its taking. I am lucky to have three "conservative" Hot AC stations that I get to listen to, but I still feel like the format has taken a dive for the worst. Hot AC is now burying possible core artists.
I feel like mid-2005 through mid-2006 was a great time for the format. The format was very independent at that time. Songs by Santana with Michelle Branch, Sheryl Crow, Collective Soul, Alanis, K.T. Tunstall, INXS, Five For Fighting, and Jack Johnson all became top 10 hits without getting much attention from CHR. These days, you almost have to be a big-time artist to get HAC ariplay without CHR.
This disappoints me...a song perfect for the format getting buried by a song that should have stayed over on CHR.
18 16 LADY GAGA Paparazzi Interscope 2008 1757 1514 243 19 19 INGRID MICHAELSON Maybe Cabin 24/Universal Motown 2009 1549 1473 76
This next example doesn't disappoint me...it pisses me off. You're talking an artist with four top 5 hits getting passed for something that should not be getting any airplay on this format.
30 29 JAY SEAN Down f/Lil Wayne Cash Money/Uni Republic 2009 591 530 61 29 31 CREED Rain Wind-up 2009 574 539 35
Pretty soon these songs will be going top 20 on Hot AC, and then top 10. Then hearing golds by Gin Blossoms and Counting Crows will steadily go away. The format is still somewhat independent, but not for long.

I can understand Lady GaGa's success on Hot AC; she has a retro-style sound that a lot of adults like.
If "Tik Tok" becomes a hit here, however, I'll officially have lost all hope.

Well when you've got Jay Sean on there, I don't think "Tik Tok" would be too bad. ;D

f**k you man don't post in my threads anymore you wanna come in here and f**k them up posting that same stupidass emoticon every single time. Why do you always wanna do this shit man that's f**ked up this is a serious thread.
You can take Jay Sean's computer-enhanced CD and shove it your ass and take it back to CHR where it belongs. This is why the board is getting old to me now because I might make a stupid post but it's better than just a face.

^You're just mad because I say the shit you don't wanna hear. then who else? me? you have a problem with me being obsessed? I have a problem that you think Taylor Swift is the queen of country music. And that you keep trying to be a new DJ General. It's bad enough to have one floating around.
