If any of you listened to Adult Contemporary in the 90s, 80s, or even 70s (when the format was easy listening), I'm sure you've noticed that the format has changed dramatically over the last ten years or so. Really, Adult Contemporary has become friendly with almost exclusively titles from the late 2000s/2010s. I mean, it's really sad that music with cursing or sexual language is now acceptable on AC stations.
In other words, I'm saying that what used to be Michael Bolton, Whitney Houston, Bryan Adams, and Celine Dion has now become Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, One Direction, and Katy Perry. Why is it that AC today seemingly embraces titles from the mid-2000s onward more than any other era? In some instances, AC seems to be leaning more and more toward CHR/Adult CHR these days.
