Just Dance is now an AC recurrent; it's a former "AC Top 40" hit. I'd say, blame Katy Perry. When Hot and Cold made it to the AC airplay chart, a lot of people said that a "limit" was broken. The Lady GaGa songs on the AC listing may be deceiving, though. "Old fashioned" AC stations aren't playing them. "Lite Rock" stations are (such as WFPG, Atlantic City). Could it be that B101 is moving away from "Soft AC" to the "Lite Rock" formula? It would make sense in a way -- to head off another station from attempting to hurt them with a borderline-Hot AC.

Brown, who became infamous for smacking around his girlfriend, Rihanna, after a pre-Grammy Awards ceremony, is asking fans to help him get his music back on the radio. (Photo: Gemma Mary, Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license) In a recorded statement through the website, SayNow.com, Brown says: “A lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records. They are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to.
