Yeah i know, i'm starting to see the hot ac format really changing noticably now. Same with Lee's song on Modern AC's they are smashing like The Pulse. But Hot AC is pretty much what Pop was, so maybe a Modern AC station would be a good addition for listeners who don't like dance/r&b music like Britney, Ke$ha, Usher, Far East Movement outpeaked "Born Free" by Kid Rock, but if u have sirius/xm and listen to the pulse like i do, you'd never know these songs weren't smashing! Agreed there...if I had judged exclusively by The Pulse's playlist, I would've been shocked to hear that "Breathe" wasn't a #1, lol. yea me too lol, thats why i was shocked at "born free" by kid rock going #41 on hot ac, wth! rihanna has no adds dates but still gets to #30 lol. i think the pulse has more effect being coast to coat and online, so its reach is more capable than any fm station i would think! It seems male demo like modern ac more, don't see many men dancing to britney or atleast i don't want to lol

I wish I had the Pulse (I also wish I wouldn't have to pay for it! Lol.). It sounds like a good station from the things I've been hearing through bunch of comments. What's been happening now is depressing me to no end. As much as I'm ok with Pink, I'm tiring of her (then again, maybe its because my littlest brother is playing a Top 40 station and I can hear it through my wall). Sorry...I'm just incredibly annoyed at the moment. Nothing good seems to be remotely reaching where they should be chart-wise, such as this song, in lieu of the dreck getting fed to the masses and crossing over when it shouldn't. Thank goodness active rock doesn't suffer from this same problem or else I'd go mad!

Thank goodness active rock doesn't suffer from this same problem or else I'd go mad! it's so frustrating. this song has dropped to 22, losing almost 200 spins. I'm a fan of Pink - but i'm tired of hearing her every 5 minutes. Same with Katy Perry. I really don't think Usher belongs on Hot AC at all, along with Nelly, Ke$ha, Rhianna, Chris Brown, or Sugarland (not a fan at all of the Country crossovers!) Please bring on Modern AC. Something's gotta give!

Something's gotta give! I think Sugarland's single fits in perfectly at HAC, but you're right about the rest of them. HAC needs to stop copying CHR and start playing good pop/rock songs. Ryan Star, Hedley, and Lee DeWyze should have all peaked higher than they did. Mumford & Sons and Florence + The Machine are still going, but I don't have high hopes for them.

Yes! Bring on the modern AC. This song should have done much better. Get ride of the Rhianna/Ke$ha crap and bring on the rock/pop. I don't mind Rhianna and Ke$ha peaking at #30, but when their songs are out peaking songs like Star A Fire and Sweet Serendipity something gotta give. Maybe I'm just getting old and want my 00s Hot AC back. The sad part is I'm still in my 20s....

Interesting article. Gee, I love the 90s, much better than 00s. I would have thought they tested better than 00s. IMO, after 2004 most music was crap on POP, and thats when I started turing to HOT AC.
My area in south GA goes againist the tend it mentions. My favorite station in our area could be considered a "fresh" AC station, it plays everything in the top 25 on AC. So its no unsuall to hear Josh Groban, Usher, Lady GaGa, Elton John, Alanis Morissette all in one hour. But their ratings just took a huge hit.
Meanwhile the other AC station only plays top 10 hits, and even then selectively, not playing teenage dream, kiss a girl, if you don't know me by now, amoung others. That station plays the same old songs and has not one but 2! 70s hours and their rating have always been high. This last quarter that this station actually dropped below the POP station. I've been waiting for that to happen forever. Then the POP station is like star 94 in Atlanta. Only problem is this station has no variety. Its the same old stuff in and out. My fresh AC station plays Usher more than this station does!
There is a HOT AC staion that I can pick up in some areas, this HOT AC station plays everything on the HOT AC chart, minus Usher, Keh$a, Nelly and all that other POP stuff. I just wish I could pick up this station all the time!
