I don't get the deal with the AC format. You'd think "Almost Home" would've been a sizable hit there; I mean it's pop-leaning, it's a theme song to a movie, Mariah has had quite a lot of AC hits in the past... ??? Even "Oh Santa!" hit #1 at the AC charts. "Oh Santa!" had the benefit of being released during all-Christmas programming. The Adult Contemporary format, as has been mentioned, has moved away from "AC only" types of releases. They mostly play softer previous CHR/Pop hits now. It's very difficult now to get a hit with a song that wasn't successful at CHR/Pop first. Also keep in mind, even in Mariah's case, most of her AC hits were CHR/Pop hits first (even when the format was more receptive to playing songs that weren't CHR/Pop hits).

"Oh Santa!" did peak with some 700 spins or so more than AH has, but it also hit No. 1 in the least competitive time of the year, though (as that's the time when older holiday music dominates the AC airwaves).
As others have noted, AC stations/listeners these days tend to favor established hits at pop and/or Hot AC radio. A couple of non-pop hits have cracked the AC top 20, but I don't recall the last non-holiday-track top 10 at AC that wasn't a pretty decent hit at pop or Hot AC radio.
Mimi's cover of "I Want to Know What Love Is," which wasn't a sizable U.S. hit, reached No. 10 at AC- but that was back in 2009.

^In general, Mimi tends not to perform singles that weren't really hits, after a certain amount of time has passed (unless it's a tour occurring close to an album release or something). I'd like to see one, too- who knows, maybe she'll surprise and perform it on GMA. ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif) 24 25 MARIAH CAREY Almost Home 275 256 19 0.642 +2 Spins +2 Bullet +0.025 AI

There are three non-pop-radio hits in the top 20 at the moment. Buble is an AC fixture, so no surprise to see his latest at No. 12. Rod Stewart's track sits at No. 15, and Jewel's at No. 20. And then there's Josh Groban at 21. AC did give Emeli Sandae's track(top 20) play before it started climbing pop.

AH, at No. 21, is 52 spins out of top 20 on Billboard's chart- can it eke out a top 20 peak?

^It's No. 21 on Billboard's 5/11 chart, but may miss the mark there.

It's destined not to hit top 20. lol When the smash that is "#Beautiful" premieres in a few hours, we'll forget all about this one anyway.
