FM
had the Top40's and the most listeners
surpassing AM in 1980 or so. Where every
little town had an AM or AM daytimer in 1967,
this would change. The station that was Top40
with jingles, 20/20 News and a weekly record
survey..."The Big 1 + 37", "Tru 30", "Big 30"
would likely be c&w, AdCon or MoYL in 1984.
Several stations were STILL rocking in 1984:
WLS, KFYR, XETRA "The Mighty 690" come to
mind. Scrolling down, we'll
look at those who are/were Top40 on FM.
 Oh ya, CHR is a
popular term for Top40, created by Radio &
Records in the early 80s. Purposes were
nobody was Top40 really. WABC had 14 (7=&=7)
songs, WLS 17 (8+9), KHJ had 30 and so on.
Nobody was doing FORTY! So Contemporary Hit
Radio (CHR) was born! To me it sounds nice,
but to me it's still Top 40 or 17 or
whatever.
