Billboard had written articles about this trend during the time, and the magazine's editors decided to publish a separate chart for these songs beginning in 1961. The magazine offered an "Easy Listening" programming guide beginning January 9, 1961, which continued until the numbered chart appeared in July. The first No. 1 song on the Billboard Easy Listening chart was "<a href="/wiki/Boll_Weevil_(song)" title="Boll Weevil (song)">The Boll Weevil Song</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Brook_Benton" title="Brook Benton">Brook Benton</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Hyatt-1">[1]</a> From 1961 to 1965, this chart was compiled from the <a href="/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100">Billboard Hot 100</a> chart by removing songs that were deemed rock and roll by the magazine and re-ranking the remaining songs. (<a href="/wiki/Record_World" title="Record World">Record World</a>'s equivalent "non-rock" chart followed the same criteria from 1967 through 1971.) Beginning in 1965, the Easy Listening chart would begin to be compiled by a method similar to the one used for other Billboard singles charts: reported playlists from radio stations airing the format as well as sales data submitted by record stores. By the early 1990s, <a href="/wiki/Nielsen_Broadcast_Data_Systems" class="mw-redirect" title="Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems">automatic song detection</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nielsen_SoundScan" class="mw-redirect" title="Nielsen SoundScan">barcode sales information</a> had begun to be the norm for most of the Billboard charts, although by this time the AC chart was based entirely on radio airplay and no longer incorporated retail sales reports. Currently the Adult Contemporary chart is compiled in much the same way as for other radio formats. The chart was known as the Easy Listening chart until 1962, when it was renamed <a href="/wiki/Middle_of_the_road_(music)" title="Middle of the road (music)">Middle-Road</a> Singles. In 1964, the name changed again, this time to <a href="/wiki/Adult_standards" title="Adult standards">Pop-Standard</a> Singles. After alternating the name of this chart twice more in less than a year, Easy Listening was again chosen as the chart name in 1965 when the change in compilation occurred. In April 1979, the Easy Listening chart officially became known as Adult Contemporary, and those two words have remained consistent in the name of the chart ever since. In 1996, Billboard created a new chart called <a href="/wiki/Adult_Top_40" class="mw-redirect" title="Adult Top 40">Adult Top 40</a>, which reflects radio station programming that exists somewhere between "adult contemporary" music and "pop" music. Although they are sometimes mistaken for each other, the Adult Contemporary chart and the Adult Top 40 chart are separate charts, and songs reaching one chart might not reach the other. In addition, the term "<a href="/wiki/Hot_adult_contemporary" class="mw-redirect" title="Hot adult contemporary">hot AC</a>" refers to another subgenre of radio programming that is distinct from the Adult Contemporary chart, despite the apparent similarity in name. </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><h2 id="Decades">Decades</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Adult_Contemporary_(chart)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Decades" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_1960s">The 1960s</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Adult_Contemporary_(chart)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: The 1960s" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> In the early years of the Easy Listening chart, the top song on the chart was generally always a Top 10 pop hit as well. The method for compiling the chart at that time allowed some rock and roll artists, such as <a href="/wiki/Lesley_Gore" title="Lesley Gore">Lesley Gore</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Drifters" title="The Drifters">the Drifters</a>, to make the chart on occasion with their softer or ballad releases, regardless of whether Easy Listening and <a href="/wiki/Middle_of_the_road_(music)" title="Middle of the road (music)">middle of the road</a> radio stations were actually playing those songs. In 1965, no No. 1 pop hits appeared on the Easy Listening chart. After 1965, differences between the Hot 100 chart and the Easy Listening chart became more pronounced. Better reflecting what middle of the road stations were actually playing, the composition of the chart changed dramatically. As rock music continued to harden, there was much less crossover between the Hot 100 and Easy Listening chart than there had been in the early half of the 1960s.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Several No. 1 Easy Listening hits of the late 1960s only "Bubbled Under" on the pop chart (for example, <a href="/wiki/Andy_Russell_(singer)" title="Andy Russell (singer)">Andy Russell</a>'s 1967 version of <a href="/wiki/It%27s_Such_a_Pretty_World_Today#Andy_Russell_version" title="It's Such a Pretty World Today">"It's Such a Pretty World Today"</a> that peaked at #119), or (as was the case with <a href="/wiki/John_Gary" title="John Gary">John Gary</a>'s 1967 hit "Cold") failed even to "Bubble Under."<a href="#cite_note-BU-3">[3]</a> In 1967, only one single reached No. 1 on both charts – "<a href="/wiki/Somethin%27_Stupid" title="Somethin' Stupid">Somethin' Stupid</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Frank_Sinatra" title="Frank Sinatra">Frank Sinatra</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nancy_Sinatra" title="Nancy Sinatra">Nancy Sinatra</a>.

Contemporary artists who recorded adult-appeal music, such as <a href="/wiki/The_Carpenters" title="The Carpenters">the Carpenters</a>, <a href="/wiki/Barbra_Streisand" title="Barbra Streisand">Barbra Streisand</a>, <a href="/wiki/Barry_Manilow" title="Barry Manilow">Barry Manilow</a>, <a href="/wiki/Anne_Murray" title="Anne Murray">Anne Murray</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Denver" title="John Denver">John Denver</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Helen_Reddy" title="Helen Reddy">Helen Reddy</a> began to be played more often on Top 40 radio.

A few of the acts that came of age as pop artists targeting younger audiences in the 1960s and early 1970s started moving toward easy listening as they matured (<a href="/wiki/Neil_Sedaka" title="Neil Sedaka">Neil Sedaka</a>, <a href="/wiki/Paul_Anka" title="Paul Anka">Paul Anka</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Osmonds" title="The Osmonds">the Osmonds</a> being prime examples). Easy Listening radio also began including songs by artists who had begun in other genres, such as rock and roll, <a href="/wiki/R%26B" class="mw-redirect" title="R&B">R&B</a>, or even <a href="/wiki/Country_music" title="Country music">country</a> (it was during this time frame that a number of songs charted on the country and easy listening charts, often not on the Hot 100). The longest stay at No. 1 on the Easy Listening chart in the 1970s was "<a href="/wiki/Time_Passages_(song)" title="Time Passages (song)">Time Passages</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Al_Stewart" title="Al Stewart">Al Stewart</a>, which remained atop the chart for ten weeks. More common, however, was a high turnover rate at the summit of the Easy Listening survey during this decade. Over a three-year period from 1973 through 1975, there were 100 No. 1 songs on this chart, and most remained atop the chart for a single week. Among songs which topped both the Easy Listening (renamed Adult Contemporary in 1979) and pop charts in the 1970s were "<a href="/wiki/(They_Long_to_Be)_Close_to_You" title="(They Long to Be) Close to You">(They Long to Be) Close to You</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Please_Mr._Postman" title="Please Mr. Postman">Please Mr. Postman</a>" by <a href="/wiki/The_Carpenters" title="The Carpenters">the Carpenters</a>, "<a href="/wiki/Song_Sung_Blue" title="Song Sung Blue">Song Sung Blue</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Neil_Diamond" title="Neil Diamond">Neil Diamond</a>, "<a href="/wiki/Annie%27s_Song" title="Annie's Song">Annie's Song</a>" by John Denver, "<a href="/wiki/You_Are_the_Sunshine_of_My_Life" title="You Are the Sunshine of My Life">You Are the Sunshine of My Life</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Stevie_Wonder" title="Stevie Wonder">Stevie Wonder</a>, "<a href="/wiki/I_Honestly_Love_You" title="I Honestly Love You">I Honestly Love You</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Have_You_Never_Been_Mellow_(song)" title="Have You Never Been Mellow (song)">Have You Never Been Mellow</a>" by Olivia Newton-John, "<a href="/wiki/Love_Will_Keep_Us_Together" title="Love Will Keep Us Together">Love Will Keep Us Together</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Captain_%26_Tennille" title="Captain & Tennille">Captain & Tennille</a>, and "<a href="/wiki/You_Light_Up_My_Life_(song)" title="You Light Up My Life (song)">You Light Up My Life</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Debby_Boone" title="Debby Boone">Debby Boone</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Hyatt-1">[1]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_1980s">The 1980s</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Adult_Contemporary_(chart)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: The 1980s" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> On August 21, 1982, the Adult Contemporary chart began ranking only airplay.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> Some of the artists who achieved success on the adult contemporary chart in the 1980s were already established names, such as <a href="/wiki/Elton_John" title="Elton John">Elton John</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chicago_(band)" title="Chicago (band)">Chicago</a>, <a href="/wiki/Barbra_Streisand" title="Barbra Streisand">Barbra Streisand</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dan_Fogelberg" title="Dan Fogelberg">Dan Fogelberg</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sheena_Easton" title="Sheena Easton">Sheena Easton</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kenny_Rogers" title="Kenny Rogers">Kenny Rogers</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Dionne_Warwick" title="Dionne Warwick">Dionne Warwick</a>, while newer acts such as <a href="/wiki/Whitney_Houston" title="Whitney Houston">Whitney Houston</a>, <a href="/wiki/Madonna" title="Madonna">Madonna</a>, <a href="/wiki/Air_Supply" title="Air Supply">Air Supply</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lionel_Richie" title="Lionel Richie">Lionel Richie</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Gloria_Estefan" title="Gloria Estefan">Gloria Estefan</a> also made an impact on the chart. The amount of crossover between the AC chart and the Hot 100 has varied based on how much the passing pop music trends of the times appealed to adult listeners. Not many <a href="/wiki/Disco" title="Disco">disco</a> or <a href="/wiki/New_wave_music" title="New wave music">new wave</a> songs were particularly successful on the AC chart during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and much of the hip-hop and harder rock music featured on <a href="/wiki/Contemporary_hit_radio" title="Contemporary hit radio">CHR</a> formats later in the decade would have been unacceptable on AC radio. No song spent more than six weeks at No. 1 on this chart during the 1980s, with nine songs accomplishing that feat. Two were by Lionel Richie, "<a href="/wiki/You_Are_(Lionel_Richie_song)" title="You Are (Lionel Richie song)">You Are</a>" in 1983 and "<a href="/wiki/Hello_(Lionel_Richie_song)" title="Hello (Lionel Richie song)">Hello</a>" in 1984, which also reached No. 1 on the Hot 100.

Certain songs achieved higher debut positions on the Hot 100 due to the new formulas used to calculate chart positions, and lengthy stays at number one became more common. This trend began to surface on the AC chart in 1993 after Billboard began using data received from <a href="/wiki/Broadcast_Data_Systems" title="Broadcast Data Systems">Broadcast Data Systems</a> as its measure for calculating the number of airplay songs on adult contemporary stations.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> Two consecutive singles ("<a href="/wiki/The_River_of_Dreams" title="The River of Dreams">The River of Dreams</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Billy_Joel" title="Billy Joel">Billy Joel</a> and "<a href="/wiki/Said_I_Loved_You...But_I_Lied" class="mw-redirect" title="Said I Loved You...But I Lied">Said I Loved You...But I Lied</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Michael_Bolton" title="Michael Bolton">Michael Bolton</a>) logged twelve weeks apiece atop the AC chart, surpassing "Love Is Blue"'s previous mark of eleven weeks at number one. As the decade progressed, other songs had even longer stays at number one, including "<a href="/wiki/Change_the_World" title="Change the World">Change the World</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Eric_Clapton" title="Eric Clapton">Eric Clapton</a> (13 weeks, 1996), "<a href="/wiki/Un-Break_My_Heart" title="Un-Break My Heart">Un-Break My Heart</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Toni_Braxton" title="Toni Braxton">Toni Braxton</a> (14 weeks, 1997), "<a href="/wiki/Because_You_Loved_Me" title="Because You Loved Me">Because You Loved Me</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Celine_Dion" title="Celine Dion">Celine Dion</a> (19 weeks, 1996) and "<a href="/wiki/You%27ll_Be_In_My_Heart" class="mw-redirect" title="You'll Be In My Heart">You'll Be In My Heart</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Phil_Collins" title="Phil Collins">Phil Collins</a> (19 weeks, 1999).

Songs such as "<a href="/wiki/Love_Story_(Taylor_Swift_song)" title="Love Story (Taylor Swift song)">Love Story</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/You_Belong_with_Me" title="You Belong with Me">You Belong with Me</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Taylor_Swift" title="Taylor Swift">Taylor Swift</a>, "<a href="/wiki/Waiting_on_the_World_to_Change" title="Waiting on the World to Change">Waiting on the World to Change</a>" by <a href="/wiki/John_Mayer" title="John Mayer">John Mayer</a>, "<a href="/wiki/Love_Song_(Sara_Bareilles_song)" title="Love Song (Sara Bareilles song)">Love Song</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Sara_Bareilles" title="Sara Bareilles">Sara Bareilles</a> and "<a href="/wiki/You%27re_Beautiful" title="You're Beautiful">You're Beautiful</a>" by <a href="/wiki/James_Blunt" title="James Blunt">James Blunt</a> have remained on the AC chart for many weeks, in some cases over a year after the song was originally released. An article on <a href="/wiki/MTV" title="MTV">MTV</a>'s website by Corey Moss describes this trend: "In other words, AC stations are where pop songs go to die a very long death. Or, to optimists, to get a second life."<a href="#cite_note-MTV-6">[6]</a> One theory states that many adult contemporary stations play less newer music because they also give ample airtime to hits of the past, so the de-emphasis on new songs slows the progression of the AC chart. Also, certain program directors have asserted that AC is a song-based format, as opposed to other radio formats that are infused with singer-based programming, so there is no guarantee that a new single by a certain artist will appeal to the listeners.<a href="#cite_note-MTV-6">[6]</a> The record for most time atop the Adult Contemporary chart is 55 non-consecutive weeks, achieved by <a href="/wiki/Miley_Cyrus" title="Miley Cyrus">Miley Cyrus</a> with her 2023 release, "<a href="/wiki/Flowers_(Miley_Cyrus_song)" title="Flowers (Miley Cyrus song)">Flowers</a>". A number of other songs have logged more than 20 weeks apiece at the summit; The 2003, <a href="/wiki/Uncle_Kracker" title="Uncle Kracker">Uncle Kracker</a>'s collaboration with <a href="/wiki/Dobie_Gray" title="Dobie Gray">Dobie Gray</a> on Gray's own 1973 hit, <a href="/wiki/Drift_Away" title="Drift Away">Drift Away</a> spent 28 weeks at No. 1. Ed Sheeran's "<a href="/wiki/Shape_of_You" title="Shape of You">Shape of You</a>" from 2017 has logged 24 weeks at No. 1 on the AC chart. In addition, Celine Dion's "<a href="/wiki/A_New_Day_Has_Come_(song)" title="A New Day Has Come (song)">A New Day Has Come</a>" from 2002 and <a href="/wiki/Kelly_Clarkson" title="Kelly Clarkson">Kelly Clarkson</a>'s 2004 song "<a href="/wiki/Breakaway_(Kelly_Clarkson_song)" title="Breakaway (Kelly Clarkson song)">Breakaway</a>". Both songs spent 21 weeks at No. 1 on the AC chart. Through 2022, Celine Dion has logged 87 weeks atop the AC chart, which is the most for any artist; Adele has moved into second place with 83 weeks, Ed Sheeran holds third place and the most for a solo male artist with 67 weeks, followed by Elton John with 63 weeks. Maroon 5 is the current top group, and fifth overall, with 62 weeks. Elton John also has the most chart-toppers on this survey with 18, while the Carpenters hold the record for the most chart toppers among groups with 15, and Celine Dion has the most #1's among female artists with 11.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> In 2011, Billboard announced the top 100 performing songs on the AC chart and the top 50 performing artists to celebrate the 50th anniversary on the chart. The top song on the list was "<a href="/wiki/Truly_Madly_Deeply_(song)" title="Truly Madly Deeply (song)">Truly Madly Deeply</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Savage_Garden" title="Savage Garden">Savage Garden</a>, which hit number one for 11 weeks in 1998, spent a total of 58 weeks in the top 10, and spent 123 weeks on the chart.
