Songs that did not appear here did not chart 

 

As artists age, they become more likely to appear on this chart, because their audience is aging as well.

But honestly, if radio in 10 years is full of the bops we had during 2008-2015, I'm not mad

I'm shook MR is not even top 5 on that list, the soccer moms loved that song

It peaked at #5 on Adult Pop Radio so that was good

Adele and Pink have left the chat

I'm shocked MR didn't chart higher on this chart. Yay for "Shallow" though. That performance of her and Bradley in Vegas is viral as hell. Everyone in my real life is talking about it and asking if I have seen it.  People just really love the song. I'm happy for Gaga, and I honestly did not expect this song to do as well as it has and still is. I love it so much, but it definitely has a unique and different structure than a typical "hit"...

AC is the new POP

 

[Monsterish 5,520]

Oh, wow... OH WOW!  Shallow, you're doing amazing, sweetie 

[ALGAYDO 26,294]

AC is basically Pop music for people over 30 lol 

[Reality 65,693]

I’m surprised that TIHTY charted so high

[Lady Adga 8,664]

The Edge Of Glory is THAT song!

You're thinking of HAC, where Shallow has already hit #6. HAC is the "adult pop" format.

HAC and AC are two different things, although the names being so similar is confusing/annoying.

Wait, I always assumed it was the same thing, just different wording. What's the difference?

HAC is mainly pop music, but more adult-oriented pop than the top 40 format.  

AC is adult oriented music but it can be a wider range of genres, but still often includes pop.  AC is a smaller format than HAC as far as audience numbers.
