History of Rhythmic Top 40 charts

[disman00911]

Not a chart expert but like reading old radio/music magazine articles. I was also influenced by this older thread about Billboard’s Hot crossover 30.
pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/135293/hot-crossover-30-data

I also wanted to see how other trade magazines (such as R&R and Gavin) handled rhythmic/crossover stations regarding their top 40 pop charts.
  Joel Whitburn's Record Research (good site, btw) doesn't seem to have anything on rhythmic charts.

Very special thanks to the website, americanradiohistory.com for preserving all these magazines.

Part 1 (since Billboard info will be separated into separate posts)

Billboard was the first music/radio trade magazine to offer a crossover chart starting with the 2/28/87 issue (p. 01, 87). Although stations like KPWR (Power 106) in LA, WQHT (Hot 103/Hot 97) in NY, and WPOW (Power 96) in Miami debuted in 1986, the trade magazines saw them as urban (R&B) stations. However, these stations refused to report as urban and wanted to report as Top 40 instead.

The stations that contributed to the chart:
Pure Crossover stations: WHQT Miami, KPWR Los Angeles, WQHT New York, WMYK Norfolk, and WOCQ Ocean City, MD

Hot 100 Panel (top 40): KMAI Honolulu, KMEL San Francisco, WPOW Miami, WQUE New Orleans, KSFM Sacramento, KITY San Antonio, WHYT Detroit

R&B stations: WUKQ Phoenix, WLUM Milwaukee, WBLZ Cincinnati, WHRK Memphis, XHRM San Diego.


The first Hot Crossover 30 chart (2/28/1987) 
1. Club Nouveau - Lean on Me
2. Expose - Come Go With Me
3. The Jets - You Got It All
4. Cameo - Candy
5. Janet Jackson - Let’s Wait Awhile
6. Shirley Murdock - As We Lay
7. Bruce Willis - Respect Yourself
8. Mel & Kim - Showing Out (Get Fresh for the Weekend)
9. Donna Allen - Serious
10. Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back to My Room)
11. Freddy Jackson - Have You Ever Loved Somebody
12. Madonna - Open Up Your Heart
13. The Cover Girls - Show Me
14. Samantha Fox - Touch Me (I Want Your Body)
15. Anita Baker - Caught Up in the Rapture
16. Cyndi Lauper - Change of Heart
17. Robbie Nevil - C’est La Vie
18. Lionel Richie - Ballerina Girl
19. Sheila E - Hold Me
20. Chicago - Will You Still Love Me?
21. Company B - Fascinated
22. Bon Jovi - Livin’ on a Prayer
23. Dead or Alive - Brand New Lover
24. Five Star - If I Say Yes
25. Jody Watley - Looking for a New Love
26. Luther Vandross - Stop to Love
27. Beastie Boys - (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (to Party)
28. Aretha Franklin and George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting For Me
29. Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram - Somewhere Out There
30. Melba Moore - Falling

Most of the songs on the chart are to be expected, although I’m surprised to see a Bon Jovi track make the Crossover chart.

However, playlists for the pure crossover stations (such as WQHT and KPWR) would not show up on the Power Playlist section until the 6/11/1988 issue. On the other hand, KMEL playlists had always been present on the Power Playlist since that section debuted in on the 4/19/1986 issue even as that station evolved from mainstream top 40 to rhythmic/crossover. Playlists for smaller market Crossover stations were not featured on Billboard’s Power Playlist.

Billboard’s Power Playlist were organized based on how large the market’s audience is: Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Secondary. The Platinum section always featured stations from New York and Los Angeles. Stations from Chicago, San Francisco, and Philadelphia were often split between Platinum and Gold. Other major markets like Boston, Dallas, Washington DC, and Detroit were featured in the Gold section. The Silver, Bronze, and Secondary sections featured smaller-market stations.

Starting with the 1/28/1989 issue (P. 5, 43), Billboard expanded its Crossover coverage and made a small Power Playlist section featuring the four largest markets that had a crossover station: WQHT (NYC, market #1), KPWR (LA, market #2), KMEL (San Francisco, market #4), and WPGC (Washington DC, market #9)

On the 6/03/1989 issue, WPGC was replaced with WIOQ on the Power Playlist as Philadelphia (market #5) was a larger market than Washington DC (market #9). Billboard may have also moved WPGC from its top 40 panel to its urban panel.

The 9/02/1989 issue of Billboard was the last to feature the Hot 30 crossover chart before its split into Top 40/Dance and Top 40/Rock. (p 75)

Top 40/Dance Power Playlists: WQHT, KPWR, KMEL, WIOQ

On the 3/10/1990 issue (p. 20, 85), the Top 40/Dance Power Playlist expanded from 4 stations to 5 when Billboard moved WBBM-FM (b96) Chicago (market #3) from its mainstream top 40 panel to its top 40/dance (rhythmic) panel as the magazine revised its Hot 100 and Top 40 panels. As a result, each of the top 5 US markets were represented in the top 40/dance (rhythmic) panel. The Top 40/Rock station playlists, in contrasted remained at only 2.

The 9/22/1990 issue had the most recent station list of top 40/dance and top 40/rock before abandoning crossover altogether later that year. (p. 79-80). Stations are ranked based on market size in 1990.

On the 12/08/1990 issue, Billboard drops crossover radio charts. This was due to the crossover/dance stations and most of the top 40 stations sounding more alike than ever and Billboard considered the crossover charts no longer needed. Despite this, the Top 40/Dance and Top 40/Rock stations continued to be classified as such on the Power Playlists through February 1991. (p. 4, 84)

Beginning with its 3/02/91 issue, Billboard includes the top 40/dance stations with the other top 40 stations. This was due to the demise of Pirate Radio Los Angeles and that the Top 40/Rock stations were not as successful as the Top 40/Dance (rhythmic) stations. (P. 18-19)

Part 3

The Rhythmic/Crossover chart was re-introduced when Billboard debuted Two Top 40 Airplay Charts in its 10/03/92 issue. (p 1, 76, 80)

At the time, Billboard had 94 Top 40/Mainstream stations and 36 Top 40/Rhythm stations. San Francisco, San Diego, Phoenix, and Fresno each had two rhythmic stations. Dallas (market #8) was the largest market without a rhythmic top 40 station during this period. Chicago was the largest market without a mainstream top 40 station as dance B96 had the market to themselves after the demise of mainstream WYTZ (now WLS-FM) in October 1991. San Francisco was the 2nd largest market without a mainstream top 40 station during this time after the demise of KXXX “X100” in March 1991.

The 36 stations that reported as top 40/rhythm (ranked based on market size in 1992)

== Billboard Airplay Monitor ==

In 1993, Billboard launched a spin-off magazine called Billboard Airplay Monitor, which featured information about what radio stations were playing. As a result, Power Playlists were removed from the main Billboard magazine beginning that year. Billboard Airplay Monitor would last through mid-2006.  Billboard Airplay Monitor was originally divided into 4 sections: Top 40 (mainstream, Rhythmic, Adult Top 40, and A/C), R&B (UC, Urban AC, and Rap), Rock (mainstream, alternative, active, and triple A) and Country. All 4 sections would merge into one big issue beginning in 2003.

Around 1996 (possibly earlier since 93-95 issues are not yet available), some rhythmic stations like WQHT, WPGC, and KBXX reported to both Rhythmic Top 40 and Mainstream R&B. In July 1996, Billboard Airplay Monitor spitted the Rhythmic/Crossover panels into two separate charts: Rhythmic Top 40 and Crossover. The latter was more likely than the former to focus solely urban/hip hop/R&B tracks while the former mixed both urban tracks with dance/pop tracks.  By 1997, the more urban/hip hop-leaning Rhythmic stations reported only to the Mainstream R&B playlists. As 1997 ended, there were 92 stations reporting as mainstream top 40, 33 as rhythmic top 40, 52 as crossover, and 74 as mainstream R&B, with a handful of stations reporting as both Crossover and Mainstream R&B.  The year-end issues of 1998 to 2001 featured the “Top 50 most played crossover titles”. Between 2001 and 2002, the “Crossover” panel was eliminated, likely because the “Crossover” stations and “Mainstream R&B” stations had very little difference between them.

P. 3 of the 9/12/1997 issue as an article about the results of the split panels between “Rhythmic Top 40” and “Crossover”.

=== Radio & Records ===

Part 1

CHR P1A debuted on the 7/31/1987 issue of Radio & Records and identified top 40/CHR stations that had either a significant dance/urban-lean or a rock-lean. (P 47). However, R&R would not create a separate chart for Top 40/Dance and Top 40/Rock stations.  Instead these stations would contribute to the CHR/Top 40 chart like the other Top 40 stations did.

The original CHR P1A stations:
WQHT Hot 103 (later Hot 97) NY (DANCE)
KPWR Power 106 LA (DANCE)
WHQT Hot 105 Miami (DANCE)
WPOW Power 96 Miami (DANCE)
KITS Live 105 SF (ROCK) (NOTE: this station would eventually evolve into alternate rock)

The CHR P1A station lists would expand overtime by the final time it appeared on the 10/19/1990 issue of Radio and Records. All the stations below (except one) were identified as top 40/dance. Only Pirate Radio Los Angeles was identified as Top 40/Rock.  Interestingly enough, R&R did not move several dance-leaning top 40 stations of the period, such as WBBM-FM (B96) in Chicago, WHTY in Detroit, and WFLZ (the Power Pig) in Tampa, to the CHR P1A list.

EAST
WPGC 95.5 Wash. DC (DANCE)
WIOQ Q102 Philly (DANCE)
WQHT Hot 97 NY (DANCE)

SOUTH
WPOW Power 96 Miami (DANCE)
KTFM San Antonio (DANCE) 

MIDWEST
WLUM Hot 102 Milwaukee (DANCE)
KXXR X106 Kansas City (DANCE)

WEST
KHQT Hot 97.7 San Jose (DANCE)
Pirate Radio LA (ROCK)
KGGI 99.1 Riverside (DANCE)
KOY-FM Phoenix (DANCE)
KZHT Hot 94.9 Salt Lake City (DANCE)
KMEL 106 FM San Francisco (DANCE)
KKFR Power 92 Phoenix (DANCE)
KSFM FM 102 Sacramento (DANCE)

Starting with the 10/26/90 issue, R&R integrated all the top 40/dance and top 40/rock station playlists with the rest of the top 40 station playlists. R&R considered making separate charts for mainstream top 40, dance top 40 (rhythmic), and rock top 40 but decided against it.

Very little changed until April 1994, when R&R began to convert to a song-based PPW system. Prior to its 4/01/94 issue, R&R only included Top 40 station radio playlists. Beginning with that issue, the magazine started including other genre radio playlists, such as country, alternative, progressive rock, etc. An Adult CHR/Hot AC chart was also introduced during that same week, with several stations splitting from the AC chart.  Starting with 4/22/94 issue (p.3, 79) R&R made separate charts for CHR/pop and CHR/Rhythmic. However, the magazine did not separate the CHR/Pop and CHR/Rhythmic radio playlist as they continued to be grouped together. However, the magazine added an asterisk to the Rhythmic stations to indicate that the station contributed to the Rhythmic chart rather than the pop chart.

Top 40 radio in 1994 was even more fragmented than it was in 1990. Compare Z100’s playlist (mostly modern rock) with Hot 97 (mostly east coast hip hop) yet both NY stations reported as CHR rather than alternative and urban respectably. The same was mostly true in LA with KIIS (mainstream) with Power 106 (mostly west coast hip hop). B96 (Chicago’s lone CHR station at the time) was primarily a dance station compared to most of the other rhythmic stations. San Francisco also had no mainstream top 40 station during this time as both KMEL and KYLD were rhythmic (KMEL was urban leaning while KYLD was somewhere in-between the hip hop side of rhythmic of Hot 97/Power 106/KMEL and the dance side of rhythmic of B96/Power 96 Miami).  Some stations like WHYT Detroit and KUBE Seattle even tried a short-lived MTV-inspired "Channel X" format that focused on alternative rock and hip hop.

The list of stations that contributed to R&R's rhythmic chart at that time:
WQHT (Hot 97) New York, KPWR (Power 106) Los Angeles, WBBM-FM (B96) Chicago, KMEL 106.1 San Francisco, KSOL (Wild 107.7) San Francisco (later changed call letters to KYLD that year), WIOQ (Q102) Philadelphia, WHYT 96.3 Detroit, WPGC Washington DC, WJMN (Jam’n 94.5) Boston, KBBX (the Box) Houston, WPOW (Power 96) Miami, KUBE (93 Jams) Seattle, XHTZ (Z90) San Diego, WERQ (92Q) Baltimore, WZJM (Jammin 92.3) Cleveland, KGGI 99.1 Riverside, WLUM (Hot 102) Milwaukee, KSFM 102.5 Sacramento, KHQT (Hot 97.7) San Jose, KTFM San Antonio, WHHH (Hoosier 96) Indianapolis, WJMH (Kiss 98.7) Greensboro, SC, WHJX (Channel X) Jacksonville, WWKX Providence, KLUC Las Vegas, KBOS Fresno, KIKI Honolulu, WKSE Buffalo, KDON-FM Salinas-Monterey, CA, KKSS Albuquerque, KZFM Corpus Christi, TX, KKXX Bakersfield, WBSS Atlantic City, KCAQ Oxnard-Ventura, CA, KWIN Stockton, KHTN Modesto, CA, KHTY Santa Barbara, CA

Beginning in 1995, R&R made separate radio playlists for both CHR/Pop and CHR/Rhythmic stations.  That same year, R&R also introduced a year-end top 95 Rhythmic song list on its year-end 1995 issue as it was not featured in the 1994 year-end issue.

Now for some lesser-known and/or defunct radio/music trade magazines.

== Hitmakers ==

Hitmakers debuted around 1979.  However, the earliest available issue available on Americanradiohistory.com is the 2/23/90 issue.  Hopefully more issues will be added in the future since there aren't that many issues available). Featured on for the 2/23/90 issue are charts for Mainstream, Urban (what they called rhythmic back then), and Rock & Roll. They charted the top 50 songs rather than 40 songs. An adult top 40 chart was added later that year, in the 9/07/1990 issue.  By June 1990 (issues from March/April/May are not yet available), the Urban Top 50 chart was renamed the Crossover Top 50, as seen in the 6/08/1990 issue.  the Rock & Roll Top 50 chart was rebranded as "Rock Radio".  An alternative rock chart was also added, although it was ranked by album rather than singles.

Only 3 songs appeared on all three charts that week: “Roam” by the B-52s, “Dangerous” by Roxette, and “Downtown Train” by Rod Stewart.

By 1993, the rhythmic/crossover chart changed radically and was renamed the Street Sheet. The Street Sheet was divided into different parts: Most Discovered (around 25-30 new songs), Mix Shows most discovered (around 25-30 then-new songs that were hot during the mixes), Mix Show movers (the top 50 songs on mix shows ranging from dance to hip hop/R&B), and the Club Movers (the top 50 club records of the moment). In the 1990 issues, the Club charts appeared separate from the crossover top 50 chart but by 1993 the club charts were included in the Street Chart section as Rhythmic Top 40 stations were more likely to feature mixes than mainstream top 40 stations.  
Overall, Hitmakers was more street-driven than the other music/radio trade magazines. There are no Hitmakers issues available between Nov 1990 and Oct 1993 on americanradiohistory.com. Therefore, it is unknown when exactly the change from Crossover Top 50 to the Street Sheet occurred.  The charts that Hitmakers was using at this point was more complex than it was in 1990.

The charts below are from the 10/22/1993 issue.

In contrast, mainstream top 40 only had “Most Discovered” (similar to the one on the Street Sheet) and alternative lacked a full chart, only listing a small number of tracks that were either “Most Discovered”, “Crossing Over”, or “Future Hits”. The 1994 and 1995 issues of Hitmakers was largely the same as the 1993 issues. In 1996, Hitmakers would only display the Top 50 Dance/Club and Top 50 Urban/Club records. The most recent issue is 6/07/1996, by that point the magazine stopped including charts and most discovered lists for top 40, rhythmic, and alternative.

== Network 40 ==

Network 40 was launched in 1990. The first time a rhythmic chart appeared was in the 9/12/1991 issue. There are only 2 issues from 1991 currently available so it is unknown when exactly the rhythmic chart debuted. There were no Rhythmic charts in the 1990 issues. The chart was titled “The Street 40” under the “Hot Crossover” section.

By the 7/10/1992 issue, Network 40 introduced a PPW chart. It debuted sometime between April and July (as there are only 5 issues from 1992 available on Americanradiohistory.com. As a result, both Mainstream Top 40 and Hot Crossover Street 40 each had two charts (one for containing airplay/sales/request and one for plays per week).  For Street 40, there was also a smaller (top 40) list for most added songs, rap, and urban AC, although the latter would be dropped the following year.

In 1993, Network 40 dropped the AC, mainstream rock, and urban charts and focused mainly on Top 40, Rhythmic/Crossover, and alternative. By the 10/29/1993 issue, PPW charts appeared on one page and featured the charts for both mainstream and rhythm/crossover.  Beginning with the 4/22/1994 issue, Network 40 switched full-time to a PPW system for all of its charts. (p. 4, 8, 44)

== FMQB ==

There aren’t too many issues available of this trade magazine (which debuted in 1968). There are two versions of FMQB: one that focuses on Top 40 (mainstream, rhythmic, and alternative) and one that focuses on album rock (mainstream rock, triple A, metal, etc).  The lone 1990 issue available featured charts for Top 40, A/C, and Rock. There was also a Rhythmic section, but its chart was different and much smaller than the other format charts.
It is unknown when exactly FMQB added the Rhythmic section. There are no 1991 issues yet available.

The earliest 1992 issue is the 9/25/1992 issue. FMQB featured charts for Top 40 (mainstream), the top 30 most requested songs (mainstream) and A/C (top 30 songs). The Rhythmic section had been renamed "Street Beat" and featured charts for Top 50 Club records and the Top 30 Radio Mix Show songs. A more "traditional" Top 40/Rhythmic chart was not featured. By 1994, the charts would be dropped from the Street Beat section. FMQB also added Top 40 Modern Rock (alternative) album chart.  By the 4/12/1996 issue, FMQB would feature a Rhythmic chart called "Street Beat Top 50 Airplay"

== Gavin Report ==

Despite the fragmentation of Top 40 radio throughout much of the 1990s, Gavin (which lasted from 1958 to 2002) would not create Rhythm/Crossover section until sometime between July and September 1998 (there are still missing issues). However, a year-end top 40 rhythmic chart would not appear on Gavin’s year-end issue of 1998 as it appeared during the middle of the year. A top 40 rhythm/crossover of 1999 also appeared in the year-end issue of (12/17/1999). (p. 32) A year-end rhythmic chart also appeared in 2000 and 2001. However, Gavin appeared to stop providing charts beginning in 2001. Gavin shut down in March 2002.

Final post on this topic and I'll wrap it up from here.

== Black Radio Exclusive (BRE) ==
The magazine (which focuses on urban-based radio formats such as R&B and Jazz) launched in 1978, but the earliest issue available is 2/05/1985. Interestingly enough, the 1985-1986 issues (the few that are available) featured an “Urban Hits Playlist”, which in someway is a predecessor to even Billboard’s Crossover Hot 30 in 1987. Modern day Rhythm/Crossover Top 40 didn’t even exist yet as stations like KPWR, WQHT, and WPOW would debut the following year. However, by 1987 (based on the only issue available that year), the Urban Hits Playlist would be dropped. Also, BRE did not feature a section that focused on rhythmic/crossover throughout the 90s, 00s, and 10s.

== Cash Box ==
Cash Box never really featured rhythm/crossover in their charts. The following charts were included in the magazine’s last issue in 11/16/1996:

Top 100 pop singles
Top 100 pop albums
Top 100 urban singles
top 75 urban albums
Top 25 rap singles
Top 40 Latin Albums
Top 100 Country Singles
Top 75 country albums

== Monday Morning Replay ==
This was a trade magazine launched by Mediabase which lasted from 1988 to around 1991. The only issue available is the 11/14/1988 issue. During this time, Mediabase focused on 3 formats: Hit Radio (CHR/Pop), Rock Radio, and Adult Contemporary. The top 40 dance/rhythmic stations were simply labeled “Hit Radio” stations just like their mainstream top 40 counterparts.  The magazine also had a crossover index which included hit radio/rock, hit radio/Adult Contemporary, and hit radio/urban.

Anyone have additional information about classic rhythmic/crossover top 40 charts?  Thanks.

[disman00911]

Update from Monday Morning Replay.  In recent months, the website AmericanRadioHistory.com added 1988/1989 issues from this magazine. (Plus one from 1991).  The magazine usually divided charts and station song lists between "Hit Radio" (aka top 40/CHR), "Rock Radio" and "Adult Contemporary Radio". By 1991 "Urban Radio" was added to the magazine.  "Rhythmic" stations were grouped with the mainstream Top 40 stations and a chart that specifically monitored the rhythmic stations, called the "Rhythm/Dance" chart, was added by 1991 (maybe 1990 but there are no issues from that year yet).

Update on Hitmakers magazine.  There were a few issues 1989-1991 issues now added (still no 1992 or early 1993 issues though). The lone 1989 issue isn't much different from the 1990 issues. While the lone 1991 issue have somethings in common with the 1989/1990 issues, there are a few differences, though not as drastic as the 1993-1996 issues.

- The Discovery Club (Where various radio programmers discuss which are the hottest singles at the moment) is divided between mainstream top 40 and Crossover Top 40 (which would be renamed to "Street Sheet" by 1993). Beforehand, the Crossover stations and Mainstream stations were grouped together.
- A mix show page was added which featured song playlist from various stations (usually Rhythm/Crossover stations though some urban contemporary stations are also included). The specific radio station mix playlists would be removed by 1993.
- Power Page that feature the top 7 to 9 songs of the week from various top 40 stations regardless of format lean (includes both large markets and smaller markets)
- The Rock top 40 is now separate from the mainstream and crossover top 40 charts and is replaced with the Adult top 40 playlist.

On a side note, I wished that BRE had included full playlists of all the major urban stations like Radio & Records did with Top 40 stations at the time.

[disman00911]

Been a while since I did further research on this topic as not many issues of various radio/music magazines relating to top 40 have been uploaded on the past year on the worldradiohistory.com site.  Just today, I noticed a few issues of The R&B Report, a radio/music trade magazines that debuted in 1987.  Like BRE, it mainly focused on R&B music.  However, it did feature Top 40 and A/C music as some of the Top 40 (both mainstream and rhythmic) did contribute to how the magazine did its charts.  However, there are no top 40, Rhythmic or A/C charts.

NOTE:  since American Radio History was renamed World Radio History, all those above links I posted no longer work.  I may have to update them in the near-future.

Hello I’m a big fan of your posts. In Los Angeles, Power 106 which is a which is a rhythmic that leans heavily urban. I read a lot of the old playlists of Power 106 from the 90’s especially their days when they were leaning towards house during 95-96 and playing Lina Santiago, Devoné,etc with their hip hop/r&b product. By early 1997, they dropped their house from the playlists and became strictly hip hop/R&B. Personally, I think Power 106 sounded better during the 90’s and 2000’s hip hop was actually better during those time periods.
