Welcome to the American Top 40 Hot AC Wiki[]
Hi, welcome to the American Top 40 Hot AC wiki. This wiki is all about a spinoff based off the original AT40 radio show, only with this countdown using the Hot Adult Contemporary songs format from Mediabase instead of the Pop format. You can post something if you'd like, but it has to do something with this wiki. Do not post any spam or misleading pages. If so, the page will be deleted.
History of the Countdown[]
The Hot AC charts originated from Casey's Hot 20 which premiered on November 5, 1994, a spin-off of American Top 40, the show rebranded itself on March 28, 1998 as Casey Kasem's American Top 20. He also hosted American Top 10, which focused on Mainstream AC instead of Hot AC. The charts were taken from Radio & Records, followed by Mediabase. Both shows ended on July 4, 2009, when Casey Kasem retired. With Ryan Seacrest hosting the AT40 since 2004, he hosted a Hot AC version of AT40 which began on December 4, 2004, using the full 40 chart instead of Kasem's 20.
