Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR) stations play the popular music of today and the past few years.
Rhythmic CHR
Although a good number of songs will be played on both CHR-pop and CHR-rhythmic stations, the difference between the formats is that CHR-rhythmic leans toward more hip-hop, rap and dance songs, rather than rock and alternative. Play lists consist of new cutting edge music, current hits and popular hits of the last 6 to 12 months.
Mainstream CHR
Also is referred to as CHR-top 40. In comparison to CHR-rhythmic, the basic elements are the same, but there is a slant more towards rock and alternative songs. Play lists consist of new cutting edge music, current hits and popular hits of the last 6 to 12 months.
Typical CHR Artists:
Usher, Ludacris, Missy Elliott, Destiny's Child, 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Nelly, Kelly Clarkson, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson.
