wargod.arbitron.com/downloads/Radio_Today_2013_execsum.pdf says the Top 10 formats for Fall 2012 were (in parenthesis is the change from Fall 2009 to Fall 2012):
1. Country + New Country: 14.2 (+0.8)
2. News/Talk/Information + Talk/Personality: 11.4 (-1.5)
3. CHR-Pop: 8.2 (+1.5)
4. AC + Soft AC: 8.1 (-1.3)
5. Classic Hits: 5.2 (+0.4)
6. Classic Rock: 5.2 (+0.2) (I'm assuming that although only one decimal place was given the ratings were calculated to multiple decimal places and the two 5.2s were not an exact tie)
7. Hot AC: 4.7 (+0.7)
8. Urban AC: 4.1 (+0.1)
9. CHR-Rhythmic: 3.4 (-0.2)
10. Sports: 3.1 (-0.1)
The USA had 27,804 radio stations including AM, FM, HD, and streaming of which 15,012 are AM or FM.
One part of Arbitron's website stopped updating years ago and now no longer exists. Back when that site existed CHR-Rhythmic was much more popular than it was for Fall 2012.
