 Adult contemporary music
Adult contemporary music, frequently abbreciated to just AC, is a type of radio format that plays mainstream and pop music, without the hip-hop since, as per the name, it is geared more towards adults than teens.
The Hot AC format is sometimes called "Adult Top 40", since Hot AC stations could be classified as Top 40 stations without the rap and R&B;.
Soft AC, however, which has never minded keeping songs in high rotation literally for years in some cases, and plays a larger amount of older music, especially classic R&B, soul, disco, and 60's and 70's music, than Hot AC, does not appear necessarily to be facing similar pressures to expand its format.

 Radio: The River's change of course
Contemporary hits WBZZ-FM (93.7) and modern rock WXDX-FM (105.9) get the lion's share of those younger listeners, and management felt it couldn't get a big enough slice of that not-so-big pie.
When Chancellor Media purchased it, the company researched the market and found that The River was narrowly focused on the 18- to 34-year-old group, with most of the listeners being a bit older, and female.
The new 96.1 hopes to set itself apart from adult contemporary stations like WSHH-FM (99.7) and WLTJ-FM (92.9), which also target female listeners, and with which the former Variety 96/WVTY had to compete.

Modern Vampires is so bad that it's actually hysterical.
Honestly, I couldn't decide which was funnier -- "Richard" encouraging the young vamp, Nico, to "rips the lungs out" of a store clerk, the pregnant vamp that's been happily expecting for years, the comments made in the VW bus by the "Crips" about being the "first fl vampires", or the death scene for Dracula.
If you're into bad B-movies simply for their ability to make you laugh, then Modern Vampires is fits the bill perfectly.

Searching for a new image, the station is now called Star 95.7 and playing "modern adult contemporary" music.
In an effort to change the image at WMTX, 95.7 (Mix 96), the mix is out and a straightforward "modern adult contemporary" format is in.
The change also distances the station from a reputation built around the now departed Mason Dixon and a musical mix that stretched from some modern adult to dance music and 1980s rock like Journey and Brian Adams.

 Unspoken - Jaci Velasquez
At a Glance … while Jaci's latest album features some of her most personalized songs to date, they still aren't very revealing, nor is the music all that remarkable from similar modern adult contemporary pop.
Most notable is Tommy Sims's blend of modern pop with Latin and Middle Eastern sounds on "He," as well as the angelic and abstract acoustic ballad "Something," which is about a failed relationship (earthly or spiritual).
To no one's surprise, her voice is at times very impressive, especially on "I'm Alive," but the words and sound of the music ring too familiar, reminiscent of songs and artists heard before.

The combination of soothing, "adult contemporary"-esque instrumental backgrounds and Fisher's ethereal vocals makes it sound very notably like some of Sarah McLachlan's work.
Lots of it is very catchy, "Heaven's Time" being a specifically hummable affair, but there are also a few misses that may wade off repeated listens.
Altogether, Uppers and Downers will likely appeal to modern pop fans, especially those who enjoy the music of Sarah McLachlan and Natalie Imbruglia, as well as Fisher's previous efforts.
