Seeing that Energy 96.5 playlist (Candy Flip, Peter Godwin, Red Flag, Anything Box, Revenge) reminds me exactly why I loved Houston & Austin radio in the early 90's. Mixing in ALL types of music on Top 40. 96.7 KHFI in Austin was a very interesting top 40 station because they played a Top 40 hit, dance song, alternative, flashback (usually an old Erasure, Depeche Mode, Yaz, New Order...along those lines), repeat (or something close to that). Energy and KHFI were easily my favorite top/40 stations at the time.

Hey Charles... those list are awesome... I am having serious flashback to Power 98 in Myrtle beach as I type... Keep em' coming ;D... CC1

What a great station that was for such a small market.
 
What a great station, I used to listen to it during family vacations,, from 1988-91 they were dance, but they had trouble selling it during off season,,, in 92- 1993 it went full mainstream chr and eventually changes their name to. Mix 97.7 and still is a good station to this day... I wish they would have kept the dance and the power brand though... I remember these black billboards that said Power 98 in yellow, and I think they had a lighting bolt.. Remember this sweeper,,, its windy in myrtle beach, because the other stations are blowing... they had mitch craig for Imaging.
 
very interesting....i vividly remember listening to Phx radio back then, and its very surprising to see certain songs on Power 92 and Y95 that were not on the other lists (Guy, U Krew, Al B Sure). As a youngster, i found those songs common....so it's strange to me (to realize now) that those hits weren't big elsewhere.

Also, I own many of the listed singles, and a good number of them were released in 1989 (Linear, Snap, Depeche Mode, Milli Vanilli, Hammer). So I guess it took some time for them to hit radio. I suppose that still applies today, but not so much in the digital world. I would say that era is when dance music started to slow down. In the 80's, it was uncommon for Dance songs to be under 110BPM. But in 1989, records like Soul 2 Soul, Lisa Stansfield, Bobby Brown, Milli Vanilli, Paula Abdul (Straight Up), & Seduction (Heartbeat) were all around 100BPM. The Trend continued in 1990 with Linear, DNA, SOHO, En Vogue and so on....even Madonna had a couple slower ones like Justify and Keep it Together...
 
The Phoenix stations in the early 90s were at times very Urban friendly, Rhythmic/Pop other times, Dace heavy in other times, and in between would sometimes try CHR/Pop as well.
The Guy and Al B Sure type of records were doing very well on the R&B charts and since Phoenix didn't have an Urban station, it made it easier for Power 92 and Y-95 to go Churban. They were probably also influenced by other crossover stations like 99.1 KGGI Riverside and 106.1 KMEL San Francisco.

Austin's CHRs were likely influenced by both Houston and San Antonio. Both of San Antonio's CHRs were very heavy on Dance, and that remained true for Hot 103 through much of the 90s. In Houston both Power 104 and 93 Q were Dance friendly in the late 80s and early 90s. Energy 96.5 was only around for a year, 97.9 The box debuted the following year with a Churban format, and 93 Q left the CHR format. Even before 93 Q changed to Country, KRBE already dropped its "Power" moniker, became a "hits without the type" station with little talk, little Rap, and lots of Dance and crossover Modern Rock.
Austin at the time was still just market number 54. It's definitely been one of the fastest growing markets in the country over the past 2 decades, though Orlando and, especially, Las Vegas grew even faster.
 
Midwest Clubber... You have a very good memory... Power 98 was awesome, but like you said by the time 92 and 93 hit were pretty much CHR. 1988 thru 1991 was magic for the station as the vibe of Power was all over the place. There was a lot of great battles between power and Wave. The music was awesome with a lot of mixes that other stations would never touch. I wish that there was list of songs from some of the smaller markets such as MYB, GSO, COL since they also had Yes 97 which was very dance friendly when it first launched... CC1

I still have a cassette tape from the time ('91-92) when Power 92 in Phoenix had a mix show hosted by Tim Byrd called "Planet Dance" which would air on Sunday nights at 10 on Power 92 in Phoenix, and Friday nights at 7 on Voltage FM in Paris, France. Markus Schulz and Andy Starr of PowerHouse Records were also involved. They also did a weekly dance countdown. The number one song that week was "Keep On Pumpin' It Up" by The Vision Masters ft. Tony King & Kylie Minogue.

I also have a tape from Y95 around '93 when they were playing more synthpop and dance stuff like Sunscream, T42, Erasure, Utah Saints, Cause & Effect, Machine in Motion, Lords of Acid.

I also have a cassette tape (somewhere) with Markus Schulz mixing it up on the Edge Factor (at The Works), when the Edge in Phoenix was on 106.3. I think it was around '95.

I've got a tape from '95 when Power 92 started phasing out some of its non-rhythmic songs and phasing in alot more rhythmic and dance (i.e. "Girl In My Eyes" by Giovanni). I LOVED Power 92 during this time (late '94-'97).
 
CHRLES, I have to comment once again because you have really outdone yourself with this trip "back to the future". I might be readin
too much into this but music is heading in the same direction that it did in 1989 and onward. :D
 
Great memories from a happy time in my life. I think my favorite song listed was 49ers-Don't You Love Me. I also liked Bad Of The Heart and many of the other songs listed. I somewhat look down on the stations that were playing non-dance artists like Richard Marx at the time.

It was too small of a market to have their entire playlist published in the trades but B95/Fresno had a very interesting playlist in this era. I would estimate that around 25% of their playlist were songs heard on few if any other stations. And if the songs worked for them they would have no fear playing them in a heavy rotation. One song that I
especially liked was Innocense-Natural Thing. The song was a pioneer in the ambiance genre. The MD at the time was Don Parker who was recently named OM of CC/SF.
 
Jay thats awesome but I doubt there are any lists of what power 98 played,, it was very similar to power 96 in Miami,, except power 98 was better... Well at least we will always have our memories... If you remember Stevie Rocker on Power 98,, he passed away from Cancer not long ago,,, R.I.P he will be missed.. He was a good guys and on air personality as well..... :(
 
Power 96 Miami was usually in a league all its own. Breaking a lot of records months before other stations picked them up. They also played some records that were played by very few, if any, other stations. Since they were also open to playing some occassional Rock and AC records, Casey Kasem used to tout them as "America's most unique music mix" when he mentioned WPOW on his shows (especially on Casey's Top 40).
 
I remeber that Chrles,, I miss the dats when I heard KLF 3am on Power 96 on the beach for the first time..... I miss Kasey... Dont you
 
We're on our way to the number one song in the USA.
As the numbers get smaller the hits get bigger.
Every week you can listen to Casey's Top 40 from coast to coast and around the world on great radio stations like...
Moving up three notches this week to number 33,455 is... ;D
 
CHRles, how did you get these playlists?
