Alanis was Triple A #1? Wow! She doesn't seem like a Triple A artist to me!

[singingsparrow]

The said:

Alanis was Triple A #1? Wow! She doesn't seem like a Triple A artist to me!

I disagree. I think she is very much qualified for this format. Her platform is rock and roll, her inspirations derive from classical rock, so she is just right for Triple A.

Same goes with Melissa Etheridge and Sheryl Crow.

Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

[singingsparrow]

Oh yeah, exactly how long how "Clocks" by Coldplay top the AAA chart last year? Seems to me that single has had a longer chart run than any other Triple A single ever. I remember it dominated for quite a long time, then finally left #1 but re-gained its bullet in the Top 10 numerous times and even almost re-claimed #1.

Oh yeah, one more thing. "Steal My Kisses" gets my vote for WORST TRIPLE A #1 EVER!!!

Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

Agreed, if you're talking about just the monitored chart. If you include the indicator chart then that award goes to the same dude w/ "With My Own Two Hands." (And to think that was the #1 indicator song of last year... )

"Bigger Than My Body" topped the chart also, but I am not sure if it was for all five weeks here. I remember Guster topped the chart for a while so I think "Amsterdam" remained on top for two or three more weeks and "Bigger Than My Body" was #1 for two weeks if I remember correctly before R.E.M took command.

So I think for these five positions it was like this:

09/05/2003: Guster: Amsterdam (Gonna Write You A Letter)
09/12/2003: Guster: Amsterdam (Gonna Write You A Letter)
09/19/2003: Guster: Amsterdam (Gonna Write You A Letter)
09/26/2003: John Mayer: Bigger Than My Body
10/03/2003: John Mayer: Bigger Than My Body

Nope. John Mayer for this week.

[JCMF3]

Does someone want to continue this list? I haven't kept track of the AAA chart. :)

[singingsparrow]

We're approaching the end of this year, and I believe "Vertigo" will top the chart for the remainder of this year.

So...let's update the #1 hits for 2004!

Actually, it wasn't. I believe it only topped the AAA chart for 5 or 6 weeks. And for the life of me, I can't think of the song that dethroned it from the top. It may very well have been Jack Johnson.

That's odd...I thought "When You're On Top" by the Wallflowers hit #1 in December of 2002?

"When You're On Top" spent 5 weeks at # 2, starting the week of 11/8/2002.

Lets keep this going!

I've only.. sadly got records from 4/03/2005.. but I think 'Green Day - BOBD' was Number One for the thousands of weeks between the last date posted and now :) :).

Yes, it spent 9 weeks on top.

The AOR chart became what is the "Rock" chart today. It's not that closely related to the AAA chart.

Many of the artists that topped the AOR chart, such as Bon Jovi, Van Halen, and ZZ Top, have never been played on AAA.

When did the Rock chart start on R&R then?

[Radical347]

At the AAA summit a few years ago, they were talking about how AOR was the predecessor to AAA. I guess it could make sense for either AAA or rock, since there is a good bit of overlap. Of the top 86 of 86 JCMF3 listed, I know I've heard the following on AAA stations: (& I wouldn't doubt if some of the others i.e. Huey Lewis) got AAA airplay either)

AAA was inspired by the early AOR and progressive rock stations of the 60's and 70's. By the 80's, AOR, despite its name, was increasingly geared towards singles and harder rock such as Van Halen. AOR evolved into the much tighter Rock and Active Rock formats, and AAA started as a reaction to those. I'm not exactly sure when AOR went to just "Rock" but it was probably in the early 90's.

Technically, 1973 (what we now know as "CHR" was originally labelled "Rock" in R&R). ;)

Just checked the special 30th Anniversary issue of R&R, and "AOR Tracks" became "Rock Tracks" sometime during 1994.

Triple A (then known as Adult Alternative) came into being around 1996 or '97 (at least chartwise).

[jarradb]

I was just about to ask when Triple A started as a chartable format on RandR. 1997 sounds about right :) :).
