But eight years later in 1996, another Milwaukee outlet, <a href="/wiki/WXSS" title="WXSS">WAMG</a>, "Magic 103.7", would be the first to pioneer the "Official" rhythmic AC format, calling itself "Rhythm & Romance" which featured Mid-tempo Rhythmic R&B/Pop tracks (ironically, Milwaukee would once again pick up a Rhythmic AC for the third time in December 2014, when <a href="/wiki/WZTI" title="WZTI">WZTI</a> filled the void after an eighteen-year gap, although that station leaned towards <a href="/wiki/Rhythmic_oldies" title="Rhythmic oldies">rhythmic oldies</a>; it returned to a <a href="/wiki/True_Oldies_Channel" class="mw-redirect" title="True Oldies Channel">True Oldies Channel</a>-led oldies format in August 2015). </p><p>In February 1996, <a href="/wiki/WKTU" title="WKTU">WYNY</a> in <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a> flipped to the format under the name "103-5 The New KTU", utilizing a "Rhythmic Hot AC" approach with dance-pop tracks added to the mix. The station instantly skyrocketed to #1 in the New York City Arbitron ratings in the next book. Because of this, other stations, like <a href="/wiki/KBKS-FM" title="KBKS-FM">KBKS</a>/<a href="/wiki/Seattle" title="Seattle">Seattle</a>, <a href="/wiki/WUFL_(FM)" title="WUFL (FM)">WDRQ</a>/<a href="/wiki/Detroit,_Michigan" class="mw-redirect" title="Detroit, Michigan">Detroit</a> (which likewise referred to itself as "93-1 The New DRQ") and <a href="/wiki/KKLQ_(FM)" title="KKLQ (FM)">KIBB</a>/<a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles,_California" class="mw-redirect" title="Los Angeles, California">Los Angeles</a> flipped to the format. While WDRQ was a moderate ratings success (the station's true ratings boom came after it evolved into a rhythmic-oriented Contemporary Hit format by 1999), KBKS and KIBB were less successful, resulting in KBKS flipping to Top 40/CHR in May 1997, and KIBB flipped to a format they pioneered: "<a href="/wiki/Rhythmic_oldies" title="Rhythmic oldies">rhythmic oldies</a>", in November 1997. </p><p>Beginning in 2006, there was a trend of several stations in the United States switching to the rhythmic AC format using the brand <a href="/wiki/Movin%27_(brand)" title="Movin' (brand)"><i>Movin</i></a>, which debuted on <a href="/wiki/Seattle" title="Seattle">Seattle</a> station <a href="/wiki/KQMV" title="KQMV">KQMV</a> in May of that year. <a href="/wiki/IHeartMedia" title="IHeartMedia">Clear Channel Communications</a> also enjoyed a fair amount of success with Rhythmic AC during this time period, using the continued success of WKTU as its basis for several of its stations, including <a href="/wiki/WLLZ_(FM)" title="WLLZ (FM)">WDTW-FM</a> Detroit, <a href="/wiki/WMIA-FM" title="WMIA-FM">WMIA</a> Miami, and <a href="/wiki/WUMR_(FM)" title="WUMR (FM)">WISX</a> Philadelphia. This boom screeched to a halt by the early 2010s, with many of the stations evolving into Mainstream or Rhythmic Top 40 (like KQMV or <a href="/wiki/KMVQ" class="mw-redirect" title="KMVQ">KMVQ</a> San Francisco), or flipping to other formats, in part due to declining ratings and trying to adapt currents into this niche genre. As of July 2016, only a handful of "Movin'" branded stations remain with a Rhythmic AC format (see list below). </p><p>Rhythmic AC came to Canada in 1999, when French-language <a href="/wiki/CFGL-FM" title="CFGL-FM">CFGL-FM</a> in <a href="/wiki/Montreal" title="Montreal">Montreal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Quebec" title="Quebec">Quebec</a> made its debut as "<a href="/wiki/Rythme_FM" title="Rythme FM">Rythme FM</a>" name. However, the Rythme FM network is now adult contemporary. During the mid-2000s, when the format started to gain popularity, many <a href="/wiki/Hot_adult_contemporary" class="mw-redirect" title="Hot adult contemporary">hot adult contemporary</a> stations in Canada started to follow a Rhythmic AC approach, but still remain Hot AC because of pop-rock content still being played. This was first pioneered by <a href="/wiki/CHUM-FM" title="CHUM-FM">CHUM-FM</a> in <a href="/wiki/Toronto" title="Toronto">Toronto</a>, who had a significant ratings success after starting to lean rhythmic. This approach has worked well in Montreal, where <a href="/wiki/CKBE-FM" title="CKBE-FM">CKBE</a> has had more success with the Rhythmic Hot AC format since its shift from AC in 2011. Unlike CHUM-FM, the currents on CKBE's playlist are more Dance and Rhythmic leaning. </p><p>By 2013, the Rhythmic AC format began to make a comeback in certain markets. In January of that year, former <a href="/wiki/News/talk" class="mw-redirect" title="News/talk">news/talk</a> outlet <a href="/wiki/WBQT_(FM)" title="WBQT (FM)">WTKK</a> in <a href="/wiki/Boston" title="Boston">Boston</a> flipped to the format. The station's ratings, which were low, have significantly improved to compete effectively with <a href="/wiki/Rhythmic_Top_40" class="mw-redirect" title="Rhythmic Top 40">Rhythmic Top 40</a> <a href="/wiki/WJMN_(FM)" title="WJMN (FM)">WJMN</a>. The station's playlist, initially, had a balance of dance-pop tracks and rhythmic classics, as well as current rhythmic/pop material, but by July 2013, the playlist has shifted to a more urban lean. This revival success story of the format spawned a few similar stations later that year, including <a href="/wiki/KHTP" title="KHTP">KHTP</a> in <a href="/wiki/Seattle" title="Seattle">Seattle</a>, <a href="/wiki/KSSX" title="KSSX">KSSX</a> in <a href="/wiki/San_Diego" title="San Diego">San Diego</a> and <a href="/wiki/KRBQ" title="KRBQ">KRBQ</a> in <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco" title="San Francisco">San Francisco</a>, as well as (for a short time) <a href="/wiki/WKQX_(FM)" class="mw-redirect" title="WKQX (FM)">WIQI</a> in <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a>. KHTP and KRBQ have since shifted in a more Classic Hip-Hop direction, positioning themselves as all-"Throwback" stations, while KSSX flipped to Mainstream Urban in May 2016. The Rhythmic AC renaissance has been particularly felt in the state of Florida: in March 2016, <a href="/wiki/WMIA-FM" title="WMIA-FM">WMIA-FM</a> in Miami, which had switched from Rhythmic AC to Hot AC in August 2014, returned to Rhythmic AC with the slogan "Rhythm from the '80s to Now," and four months later, <a href="/wiki/WYKB" title="WYKB">WJSJ</a> in Jacksonville adopted a "Classic Dance" approach. And in Canada, former Urban outlet <a href="/wiki/CFXJ-FM" title="CFXJ-FM">CFXJ-FM</a> Toronto went Rhythmic AC as "93.5 The Move" in February 2016. </p><p>In January 2015, <a href="/wiki/KKGQ" title="KKGQ">KKGQ</a>/<a href="/wiki/Wichita,_Kansas" title="Wichita, Kansas">Wichita</a> was relaunched with the same Rhythmic AC presentation that was previously offered by its successor KMXW from 2004 to 2007, except this time around, it was more focused on current Rhythmic and Mainstream Pop hits and recurrents from the 1990s and 2000s (KMXW's presentation had an emphasis on 1970s and 1980s product). (That station would completely shift towards <a href="/wiki/Hot_AC" class="mw-redirect" title="Hot AC">Hot AC</a> by October 2015, with most of the Rhythmic material being moved to evening hours.) Also in 2015, <a href="/wiki/KJHM-FM" class="mw-redirect" title="KJHM-FM">KJHM</a> in <a href="/wiki/Denver" title="Denver">Denver</a> shifted to the format after spending its first 5 years with <a href="/wiki/Rhythmic_oldies" title="Rhythmic oldies">rhythmic oldies</a>, marking the second station with the format in the market, the first being <a href="/wiki/KDHT_(FM)" title="KDHT (FM)">KPTT</a> from 2006 to 2009. </p><p>In the 2020s, a resurgence of the rhythmic hot AC format occurred. This format combines the currents and recurrents of CHR stations with hot AC-like rotations, and a deep gold library that includes classic hip hop and dance/pop throwbacks dating back to the mid-1990s. <a href="/wiki/WBBM-FM" title="WBBM-FM">WBBM-FM</a>/<a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a>, <a href="/wiki/KMVA" title="KMVA">KMVA</a>/<a href="/wiki/Phoenix,_Arizona" title="Phoenix, Arizona">Phoenix</a> and <a href="/wiki/WFLC" title="WFLC">WFLC</a>/<a href="/wiki/Miami" title="Miami">Miami</a> flipped to the format in 2022 and 2023. </p><p>Today, stations in the Rhythmic AC format vary widely by market as to how much hip-hop and R&B product are included in the music mix, and how current-intensive they are. Whereas the aforementioned KHTP and KRBQ have repositioned themselves as all-"Throwback" stations specializing in Classic Hip-Hop, WKTU, WMOV and other rhythmic hot ACs leaning heavily toward more modern pop and dance music. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="List_of_recording_artists_whose_records_are_played_on_rhythmic_AC_radio_stations">List of recording artists whose records are played on rhythmic AC radio stations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rhythmic_adult_contemporary&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: List of recording artists whose records are played on rhythmic AC radio stations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Aaliyah" title="Aaliyah">Aaliyah</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/ABBA" title="ABBA">ABBA</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ace_of_Base" title="Ace of Base">Ace of Base</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Akon" title="Akon">Akon</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Alicia_Keys" title="Alicia Keys">Alicia Keys</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Amber_(performer)" class="mw-redirect" title="Amber (performer)">Amber</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Arrested_Development_(group)" title="Arrested Development (group)">Arrested Development</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bee_Gees" title="Bee Gees">Bee Gees</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Beyonc%C3%A9" title="Beyoncé">Beyoncé</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Blondie_(band)" title="Blondie (band)">Blondie</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Brenda_K._Starr" title="Brenda K.
