Er, what the hell did I just listen to? is this the kind of songs entering the HOT AC nowadys? How much autotune did this guy need to sound acceptable? I see why you didn't post the video. You shoulda put a warning on this thread. "Listen at own risk"

Auto tune can be used for stylistic effect you know. If you hear it in a song, it was done purposely. Kind of like all those FX guitar players use on electric guitars.

You are obviously a fan of Autotune by defending and saying it adds style to the music. Truthfully the overuse of Autotune is an abomination to music. My point is we don't need HOT AC to turn into anothert Autotune fest chart like CHR is. HOT AC used to mean the HOT Adult Contemporary songs of the moment but it's sounding more and more like just another CHR pop chart. I'm surprised they havn't fused the two charts by now? |

When I turn on my Hot AC and my pop stations I hear no difference. I also thought Hot AC played music that is hot but the more adult based music, not Taylor, Megan, etc. |

HOT AC used to mean the HOT Adult Contemporary songs of the moment but it's sounding more and more like just another CHR pop chart. I'm surprised they havn't fused the two charts by now? Hot AC and CHR have coexisted since day one... I'm going to copy and paste the Hot AC chart this week here and let's see how many CHR crossovers we have. Group A - Hot AC acts; includes core acts or artists doing better on Hot AC than CHR Group B - CHR crossovers Group C - Other crossovers TW LW 2W Wks 1 2 1 25 Shut Up And Dance - WALK THE MOON - C1 2 1 2 21 Honey, I'm Good. - Andy Grammer - A1 3 3 3 15 Want To Want Me - Jason Derulo - B1 4 4 4 9 See You Again - Wiz Khalifa Featuring Charlie Puth - B2 5 5 9 7 Bad Blood - Taylor Swift - A2 6 6 7 17 Fight Song - Rachel Platten - A3 7 8 5 24 Sugar - Maroon 5 - A4 8 7 6 31 Budapest - George Ezra - C2 9 10 11 21 Bright - Echosmith - A5 10 12 12 21 Talking Body - Tove Lo - B3 11 13 13 6 This Summer's Gonna Hurt... - Maroon 5 - A6 12 9 8 24 Style - Taylor Swift - A7 13 11 10 24 Love Me Like You Do - Ellie Goulding - A8 14 14 15 7 Photograph - Ed Sheeran - A9 15 16 19 6 Invincible - Kelly Clarkson - A10 16 19 21 9 Uma Thurman - Fall Out Boy - C3 17 17 18 14 Hold Back The River - James Bay - C4 18 20 20 12 Take Your Time - Sam Hunt - C5 19 21 23 4 Trust You - Rob Thomas - A11 20 22 22 8 Ghost Town - Adam Lambert - A12 21 18 16 17 Earned It (Fifty Shades Of Grey) - The Weeknd - B4 22 25 29 4 Cheerleader - OMI - B5 23 15 14 13 Dear Future Husband - Meghan Trainor - B6 24 24 24 9 Brother - NEEDTOBREATHE Featuring Gavin DeGraw - C6 25 27 28 4 Go Big Or Go Home - American Authors - A13 26 28 34 3 Shots - Imagine Dragons - C7 27 26 25 7 Girl Crush - Little Big Town - C8 28 29 27 5 Like I Can - Sam Smith - A14 29 39 – 2 Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd - B7 30 32 32 4 Elastic Heart - Sia - A15 31 31 31 4 Someone New - Hozier - C9 32 23 17 16 Believe - Mumford & Sons - C10 33 33 33 5 Cecilia And The Satellite - Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness - C11 34 30 26 11 Whistle (While You Work It) - Katy Tiz - B8 35 35 39 3 Worth It - Fifth Harmony Featuring Kid Ink - B9 36 40 – 2 Ex's & Oh's - Elle King - C12 37 New 1 Marvin Gaye - Charlie Puth Featuring Meghan Trainor - B10 38 38 40 3 Beautiful Life - Nick Fradiani - A16 39 36 37 4 Freedom - Allen Stone - A17 40 34 36 3 You Know You Like It - DJ Snake & AlunaGeorge - B11 Total: Group A - 17/40 Group B - 11/40 Group C - 12/40 So yes, Hot AC includes CHR crossovers too. As for the autotune, Devil Marlena Nylund had his say here : pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/149110/shawn-mendes-stitches?page=2 |

Defending something doesn't make me a 'fan' of it. In any case, I do think autotune can sound good when used effectively. I also think it can sound terrible, like anything can, but the very presence of autotune doesn't turn me off a song any more than the presence of amp FX on a guitar doesn't make me think it's masking a guitarist's inability to play. Because I'm not a music snob, I know that music can exist in ways with techniques and styles beyond what I already know and love, even if those styles aren't what I personally like. As for Hot AC replicating CHR, the genre itself appeals to people who listened to CHR 10-15 years ago. So it goes without saying those people listened to the hip-hop and dance-oriented songs of 2000-2005 compared to when Hot AC catered to audiences who grew up on light rock, alternative and soft pop of the early to mid 90s. It's an evolving format that changes with its audience. |

I am one of those people. I stopped listening to pop radio about 10 years ago and switched to Hot AC thinking I'd be hearing artists of today and popular music but music catered to more of the adult audience. It's nothing like I thought. I thought by switching formats I'd get rid of artists like Taylor, Megan, Bruno, etc. But they're as played and as annoying on Hot AC as ever.

I'd say those acts are what today's adults listen to.

Anyways, Taylor and Bruno have been successful on Hot AC since day 1. So adults do listen to them...

We've already made the point that there's no difference between Hot AC and pop charts anymore that goes for the radio dial too, so even if I listen to Hot AC and like a handful of artists played on the format that doesn't mean I like the artists that have target audience of kids and teens, when it seems like the choices for adult radio are slim and you're either stuck with old artists or teenybopper ones. There's nothing in the middle. I listen to Hot Ac but am a fan of Pink, OneRepublic, Imagine Dragons, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Sam Smith, among a few others...not most of the others.

Adults do listen to those acts. Add Maroon 5 ect.. It makes em feel hip. For the most part ;they are established artist. Though I do wonder why Meghan Trainor came out of nowhaer? My original post started out because of songs like this "Cheerleader" by OMI. This is no established artist on any format. Not by a long shot and begs to ask the question; how is this so popular in such a short amount of time on this chart? I can almost understand this song's popualraity on CHR since they stick it in your face on all pop stations. Youngsters don't even get a chance to fully absorb the song quality. all they get is the EMD melodies that resembles every other song. My girfriend is significantly younger then me and she tells me I have to listen to this hot new song. So she plays this "Cheerleader" thing and I'm like "that sounds like all the other songs you listen to" she's like "I know. isn't it cool?"  |

You can say the same about any genre though. Someone who doesn't listen to much country or rock will make the same assumption and comment how it all sounds the same. Maybe it does and maybe it doesn't. But you're implying that it's a thing only with these types of songs.

So I guess that begs the question of when people listen to a format of radio how many of those people like or dislike most of what's being played ? Because I promise you that most people probably don't like half of what they hear on the radio even if it is a format they listen to.

@daryl - Uma Thurman peaked higher on Pop than Alt, and Someone New didn't touch Alt at all, so I wouldn't say they were "other" crossovers.

When I said 'other crossovers', I meant that the artist's core format is not pop or Hot AC. Uma Thurman also charted on Alternative first and Someone New is close to top 20 on AAA. |
