I was really bored a few weeks ago and came up with this list. I also managed to incorporate these receipts into a college paper I recently wrote on the state of pop radio. This thread can flop for all I care, but I just wanted to get this file out of the notes on my computer. Enjoy, anyone who is interested!

* Adult Pop Songs launched in late 1995; "Kiss from a Rose" was the first #1

pretty sure Meghan and Lorde have topped it too

Kween!

This is about individual songs that topped Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs, and Adult Contemporary, not artists who have done it with different songs.

And neither of them have ever topped Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart.

I love stuff like this

It really shows that HAC and AC have become more pop driven this decade.

I was surprised at just how much they overlapped in the 1990s. Same amount as in the 2000s despite Adult Pop Songs not being a thing until late 1995 and Pop Songs not being a thing until 1992. And "I'll Be There for You" by the Rembrandts would most definitely have been on the list had APS launched a few weeks earlier.

It's become so common this decade compared to before!

Big Girls Don't Cry was the first one to do it in a decade.

Style is like the only song here not to at least hit top 5. It's really odd how that song didn't end up peaking higher (such a tragedy as well since it's such a hymn ).

"I'm Yours" peaked at #6 as well!

Legend Adele with 3 entries and only 2 albums!
king!

We should have another list with pop/rhythmic /urban or just pop/rhythmic

Someone like you would be here too if it wasn't for Stereo Hearts (?) blocking it on Pop Radio

Yep. "Stereo Hearts" and "Moves Like Jagger"

Kept the ones I like!
