Hello, new member here. I want to thank the moderators and everyone else involved in making Generation X Radio preserving history. You guys don't just rely on the "safe hits" like many in corporate radio do but also play the rare and obscure tracks that have been lost in time. Been starting to listen to old Radio Show Countdown shows on Mixcloud the past year, such as American Top 40 with either Casey Kasem (both the 1970-1988 and 1998-2004 eras) or Shadoe Stevens (1988-1995) and "Casey's Top 40" w/Kasem (1989-1998) after he left AT40 and Stevens succeeded him as AT40 host. One of the syndicated countdown shows featured on WGXX that stood out for me was "American Dance Traxx" as unlike the other more famous Top 40 countdown shows of the era (Kasem, Stevens, Rick Dees, etc.), this show focused more on the then-new "Rhythmic" Top 40 format rather than the Mainstream top 40. Despite its name, ADT counted down the top Rhythmic/Dance Top 40 hits rather than the Club/Dance charts that were seen on Billboard as ballad tracks are also included on the chart. As I listened to more of these shows, the “Most Requested” songs are usually reserved for ballads/love songs though there were exceptions. This is clearer by the latter years of the countdown as more hip hop and R&B tracks were increasingly featured on the countdown. Too bad no other "Rhythmic Top 40" countdown show came to take its place after 1993. As a child, I grew up listening to Chicago's B96 during their dance/rhythmic phase in the 1990s and many of the songs played on ADT were familiar to me as that station played most of those during regular rotation. That said, I didn't even know about the term "Rhythmic Crossover", which is what the radio trade magazines classified B96 as, until much later in life when I started reading old issues of Billboard, Radio & Records, and other music/radio trade magazines featured on World Radio History (formerly American Radio History). I also didn't know that B96 was airing this show and "Casey's Top 40" during the weekend at the time. Also, the Chicago market didn’t have a major mainstream Top 40 station during most of the 1990s. ADT had their own chart as R&R didn't have their own Rhythmic chart at the time. They wouldn't make such a chart until April 1994 (by then, ADT was discontinued). On Billboard, they had their own Rhythmic/Crossover chart in February 1987, discontinued the chart in December 1990 and revived it in October 1992. I made a thread on the Pulse site about the history of the Rhythmic format and how various music/radio trade magazines tackled them if you want to learn more. Does anyone know what radio stations carried ADT at various points of their 1987-1993 run? Jeff Wyatt, the original host, occasionally mentioned a DJ/music director/etc. from a station that was airing the program. However, by the time Downtown Julie Brown took over as host, they no longer mentioned radio affiliates that were airing ADT. Maybe I'm more used to how Casey Kasem and Shadoe Stevens both gave shout-outs to the radio stations that were airing AT40 (Casey also did this during his other countdown show, "Casey's Top 40"). I found a few: - WQHT "Hot 97" New York - One of the flagship syndicates of ADT when it first launched and of the two stations that kickstarted the Rhythmic Top 40 format in the late 80s, along with Power 106 in LA. By the time the show ended in 1993, Hot 97 evolved into a hip hop station. - KPWR "Power 106" Los Angeles - The other flagship of ADT as Jeff Wyatt worked there when the show launched. Power 106 also evolved into a hip hop station as ADT was at the end of its run. - WBBM "B96" Chicago - B96 didn't start airing ADT until sometime in the spring or summer of 1991 (after I read various Chicago-based radio magazines on the World Radio History site). At that time, B96 was heavily dance-leaning. - WOIQ "Q102" Philadelphia - I read an old article about Julie Brown being named the new host of ADT and mentioned this station, along with Hot 97, Power 106, and B96, airing the program. - WPGC Washington DC - An article of the 6/06/1992 issue of Billboard mentioned this station airing ADT. - WLUM 102 Milwaukee - There's a YouTube video of the station airing ADT from 1989, back when they were a rhythmic top 40 station. Since 1994, they flipped to alternative rock. - KNRJ "Energy 96.5" Houston - On the 9/23/89 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from this short-lived radio station (only lasted 1989-1990 and is now known as KHMX and currently plays Hot AC). - KHQT "Hot 97.7" San Jose - On the 4/22/88 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from this now-defunct station, which ended in 1995. - KKFR “Power 92” in Phoenix - On the 8/19/1989 show, Jeff Wyatt interviews a DJ from that station. - KITY 92.9 (Power 93) San Antonio - On the 3/30/1990 show, Jeff Wyatt called a fan who mentioned this now-defunct station. - WCKZ "Kiss 102" in Charlotte - On the 7/29/90 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a fan who said that this was the station she listened to ADT. Kiss 102 switched to an urban format in 1994 and is now known as WBAV. - KBOS "B95" Fresno, CA - One the 7/21/90 show, a caller mentioned this station on where she listened to ADT. - WOCQ-FM 103.9 in Ocean City/Salisbury, MD - based on this 1992 Baltimore Sun article.
- KQUY "Y95" Butte, MT - On the 9/16/1989 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from this station, which is now known as KMBR. - WBPR "Power 97.7" Myrtle Beach, SC - The 4/07/91 show featured Jeff Wyatt interview a DJ from this station, which is now known as WWXM. - On the 1/05/91 show, Jeff Wyatt read a letter from a solider and mentioned a station in Fort Hood, TX called "K96.7" airing the program. - On the 5/20/89 show, Jeff Wyatt mentioned a station in Independence, KS airing the program. - On the 11/27/90 show, Jeff Wyatt mentioned a station in Morgan City, LA called "Power 98" airing the program. - On the 1/29/88 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from a station in Hawaii called "95X". - On the 7/21/90 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from a station in Reno, NV called "X102". - On the 8/06/88 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from WBSS "Boss 97 FM" in Atlantic City, NJ. - On the 6/17/89 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from WAIL 99.5 FM in Key West, FL. - On the 10/25/90 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from WKXA 100.5 in Finley, OH. - On the 7/28/90 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a AJ from WPDJ AM 1300 in Fort Wayne, IN. - Another show from 1989 mentioned a station in Winston-Salem, NC called "102 Jams". - On the 2/16/91 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a man who mention a station called "Z93" somewhere in Grover City (California I think, but I couldn't make out what he was saying). - On the 7/22/91 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from WDOG 935 in Allendale, SC. - On the 7/10/90 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from New Mexico called "Core FM". - On the 1/27/90 show, Jeff Wyatt interviewed a DJ from now-defunct "Power 92-5" XHRE in San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. XHRE flipped formats that year to R&B (and other formats down the road), likely due to another Rhythmic Top 40 station that would arrive in the San Diego market later that year, XHITZ “Z90”. - XHFAJ- FM “Alfa 91.3” Mexico City - One of the international affiliates of ADT. - AFN Berlin - another international affiliate. - OK Radio "Power 95" Hamburg - another international affiliate. - Dubai FM - another international affiliate - AFKN FM in Seoul, Korea - another international affiliate - Armed Forced Network. For this thread, I’m going to list and review each of the ADT shows that are currently available. If anyone out there wants to make their own reviews, that’s fine.

my personal thoughts #25 - My favorite song from Roxette #24 - never heard of it as I'm not that familiar with Boy George's post-Culture Club tracks. His attempt at New Jack Swing as Teddy Riley produced it #23 - never heard of it #22 - One of my all-time favorite 80s Hip Hop songs and one of De La Soul's best songs #21 - Good but there are other New Order songs that I like better (i.e. "Blue Monday", "True Faith", "Bizarre Love Triangle", etc.) #20 - Good but I prefer several other Madonna songs over it. Also, they played a dance 12 inch version instead of the album/single version. #19 - I like this one a lot though my all-time favorite from them is "Point of No Return". #18 - Good but my favorite from Karyn White is "The Way You Love Me" #17 - Decent but my favorite from Debbie Gibson is "Only In My Dreams" #16 - Love it. One of my favorite 80s house/club records. #15 - One of my all-time favorite 80s Madonna songs #14 - Yuck! Never liked Milli Vanilli anyway. #13 - probably my favorite from him though I also liked "Wild Thing" #12 - Decent but I like other songs from Lisa Lisa over this one ("I Wonder If You Can Take Me Home", "Head To Toe", "Can You Feel the Beat", etc.). #11 - Probably my favorite of his 1989 comeback singles #10 - Great comeback tune from the queen of disco #9 - Meh. I prefer the original David Essex version over this remake #8 - Liked this one but my favorite from her is "Change For Me" as I used to hear these during freestyle mixes on the B96 mix show back then. #7 - Never heard of it. Thought he was a two-hit wonder with "Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Together Forever". #6 - Never heard of it as I never watched the film "Rain Man"; Also in this show, they played a remix version as it has that "Woo-Yeah!" sample heard in Rob Base's "It Takes Two. #5 - I like the remix version (as heard on this show) over the album/single version. My all-time favorite from her, however, is "I Wanna Have Some Fun". #4 - One of my favorite 80s pop-Hip Hop tunes #3 - Good but my favorites from her include "Straight Up", "Knocked Out", and "Opposites Attract" #2 - Good but my all-time favorite from him is "My Prerogative" #1 - One of my favorites from her and the best song from her 1989 album Most Requested #5 - Hated this one. Too over-the-top, especially at the end. Most Requested #4 - Never heard it before. It's decent Most Requested #3 - Okay, but I prefer her uptempo freestyle tracks ("Boy I've Been Told", "Let Me Be the One", etc.) over this ballad. In fact, the only freestyle act that was any good with ballads were Expose Most Requested #2 - Never heard of it Most Requested #1 - Never liked NKOTB and this song's no exception but it’s not my least favorite from them. Extra (Flashback) - Don't care for it and prefer other George Michael/Wham songs

Hello disman00911 I am Dees Sleaze. Owner of the Mixcloud channel EightDEES Motherducker and the channel that got taken down by SHANNON LYNN, Retro Radio Shows.
I have not been able to find many ADT shows until WGXX came around to reair whatever they had found.
I contributed the following shows to WGXX and Mixcloud over the past few months Top 30 Dance Hits of 1987 12/31/87 1/29/88 4/2/88 Top 30 Dance Hits of 1988 12/31/88 7/21/90
If you would like high quality recordings of all of the ADT shows aired by WGXX, you can direct message top40fansince1984, who runs his own Mixcloud channel called Dave's Not Here (formerly called TheDogsPlayTheGood$h!t). Top40fansince1984 has had to severely downgrade the audio quality on his Mixcloud uploads to get them to upload on his Mixcloud channel.

I'm well aware of your old Mixcloud channel as well as the other MixCloud channels. Too bad it got shut down. Where else are people going to hear these old radio countdown shows. The guess hosts of AT40 episodes and post-Aug 1988 episodes after Casey Kasem left (plus his competing show "Casey's Top 40") are extremely rare to hear these days. Whoever is doing this should be grateful that that are people who wish to preserve music/radio history. I don't have any recordings myself but I am thankful for people like you. There are a few scoped, incomplete shows of "American Dance Traxx" on YouTube. On Discogs, there is only one show that had been submitted. On a side note, did you know that there were two 80s specials of "American Dance Traxx" one hosted by Jeff Wyatt and the other hosted by Julie Brown? Seems like the Julie Brown show only aired on Hot 97 and wasn't part of the syndicated ADT show. Ironically, she would later take over as ADT host after Jeff Wyatt left the show in 1991. Best of the 80s part 1Best of the 80s part 2
You may already be aware of these but there are episodes of ADT that aired on Hot 97 NY in 1991 that were uploaded on the internet archive site: 3/03/1991 & 3/24/1991. There was also the 4/07/1991 show but you already have that one.

My personal thoughts #25 - I like it though my favorite from them is the mega-hit “Groove Is In the Heart” (didn’t know they had other singles actually) #24 - Don’t care for it as I prefer her older freestyle hits like “Boy I’ve Been Told” #23 - I knew most of the “Rhythm Nation” singles and enjoyed nearly all of them yet I didn’t know this song existed! #22 - I Love it and is my favorite from her #21 - I Like It #20 - Didn’t know this existed.

Used to hear this song a lot on B96 when I was younger #14 – Don’t care too much for this one and prefer their two other hits from 1991/92 #13 – One of my all-time favorite 90s dance tunes. Not sure which one I liked better from Black Box: this song or “Everybody Everybody”. #12 – One of my favorites from Salt N Pepa #11 – Never heard of it until recently but I kinda like it #10 – Never heard of it #9 – Never heard of it as the only song by Ralph that I’m familiar with Is “Sensitivity” #8 – Great early 90s pop/R&B tune #7 - I like this song #6 – Cathy’s best song and one of the all-time greatest 90s dance songs #5 – My favorite from C&C Music Factory #4 – One of the best freestyle songs ever.

A guilty pleasure of mine #2 – One of the best 90s pop songs ever #1 – Great New Age track and one of my favorites from the 1990s Most Requested #5 - Never cared for his ballads and prefer most of his uptempo freestyle tracks. Most Requested #4 - I know about “We Are the World” but not this one despite being old enough to remember the Gulf War Most Requested #3 – A rare, non-ballad requested song on ADT. Didn’t know this existed and I knew of both NKOTB and C&C Music Factory when I was younger. For a NKOTB song, its tolerable. Most Requested #2 – Another non-ballad requested song on ADT. One of my favorites from LL Cool J though I’m not used to the remix heard on ADT as I’m normally used to the album version Most Requested #1 – I like it.

Club Extra – I like this one but prefer other similar-sounding tracks like “Try Yazz (Esta Loca)” and “Boriqua Posse” by Rare Arts (an alias of this group).

Extra #2 - Never heard of it even though I’ve watched every “Rocky” movie. It’s certainly no “Eye of the Tiger” or “Gonna Fly Now”

My personal thoughts #25 - Her best song & one of the best songs of the 80s #24 - Never heard of it until recently. It’s decent #23 - One of my favorites from her and the best song from her 1989 album #22 - I’m more used to the album version than the remix #21 - My favorite track from him although I also like his other hit “Wild Thing” #20 - Never heard of it as I only knew of his 1988 hit “Just Got Paid” #19 - Never heard of it as I never watched the film "Rain Man" #18 - Never heard of it as I only knew of their 1987 hit “Casanova” #17 - Never Heard of it #16 - I like it. One of the best 80s house records #15 - I like it #14 - I hate it and one of my least favorite 80s tracks #13 - I like it but am more used to their bigger hits “It Takes Two” and “Joy N Pain”, both of which I like better #12 - I liked most of Stevie B’s freestyle songs but I always hated this particular song as It always got stuck in my head whenever B96 played it and they played it as an 80s flashback a lot! #11 - Not familiar with this one as I am with some of Luther’s other hits #10 – One of my favorites from Erasure #9 - Never hear of it until recently as I only knew of “Toy Soldiers” and I hated that one.

I do like it #6 - Not too familiar with Bobby Brown’s ballads and more used to his uptempo hits #5 - I like it once in a while #4 - One of my favorite 80s house songs. Used to hear this one and “Big Fun” on B96 as 80s flashbacks back in the day. ADT played a remix version instead of the radio edit version. #3 -Probably my favorite from this freestyle girl group #2 - Horrible! One of the worst songs of the 1980s and I instantly think lipsync when it comes to Milli Vanilli. Most of their songs sounds alike and relied too much on the Ashley’s Roachchip loop. #1 - One of my favorite late 80s synthpop songs. Most Requested #5 - Never heard of it until recently as I only knew of her freestyle tracks. Part of the guitar reminds me of the Eric Clapton song “Wonderful Tonight” Most Requested #4 - Never heard of it as I only know of “I Like It” Most Requested #3 - Never heard it before. It's decent Most Requested #2 - Never heard of it as I only knew of her other hits “The Way You Move”, “Secret Renderzous”, “Romantic”, and “The Way I Feel About You”. Most Requested #1 - Never heard of it and more used to her uptempo singles. New Trax - Never Heard of It Import - Too cheesy and I prefer the US remix version. My overall favorite from her is “I Wanna Have Some Fun”

My Personal Thoughts: #25 - Don’t know that much about the Pet Shop Boys post-80s hits, including this one #24 - Great early 90s pop/R&B tune although in this show they played a remix version whereas the 11/24/91 show played the more familiar version #23 - Not familiar with this song as I am with her 80s hits (i.e. “Only In My Dreams”). It’s decent though #22 - One of my favorite 90s house/dance songs though I’m more used to the Original Underground version than the version played on ADT, which is the The Steve Anderson Total Revamp #21 - I like it but prefer other songs from them like “Kickin’ It” and “Can’t Stop” #20 - One of my favorite 90s Madonna songs #19 - I like this song but my favorite from him was his 1989 club hit “Let the Rhythm Pump” #18 - Didn’t know this existed as I’m more familiar with some of their other songs like “Sincerely Yours”, “Hooked On You”, “Take it While It’s Hot”, etc. #17 - One of my all-time favorite Mariah Carey songs #16 - One of the best 90s freestyle songs. Mainly heard this during freestyle mixes on the B96 weekend mix show back then #15 - Didn’t know this existed until recently. I soon liked it. #14 - One of my all-time favorite 90s dance/house songs. Used to hear this one on B96 back in the day. #13 - I’m more used to the album version but the Steve Silk Hurley remix that is heard on ADT is also very good. #12 - This one’s good but I like their bigger club hit “Money Talks (Dirty Cash)” better #11 - One of my favorites from LL Cool J though I’m not used to the Untouchables Remix heard on ADT as I’m normally used to the album version #10 - Another great song from Depeche Mode’s excellent “Violator” album despite being overshadowed by “Policy of Truth”, “Enjoy the Silence”, and “Personal Jesus”. #9 - Don’t like it as his only good song was “Ice Ice Baby” and that one’s a guilty pleasure for me #8 - Good song from this R&B group #7 - I love it as this was one of the best 90s dance songs.

I prefer other songs from both George and Brenda over this one Most Requested #3 - This was their best ballad track & one of the best 90s R&B/pop love songs Most Requested #2 - Didn’t know he had other singles besides “Ice Ice Baby”, which was his only good song.

Used to hear this one a lot on B96 when I was younger. #9 - I like it but it’s not my favorite from the “Dangerous” album (“Black & White”, “Remember the Time” & “Jam” are better). On this show, they played the house remix instead of the album version, which was heard on the 6/06/92 show. #8 - One of the best 90s hip hop tracks #7 - More used to her late 80s songs but I do like this one.

Plus, I’m not a big NKOTB fan anyway New Trax – Never Heard Of It Import – One of the best dance songs to end the 80s and into the 90s.

My personal thoughts #25–One of Depeche Mode’s greatest songs. #24 - One of my favorite 90s dance tracks. Used to hear this one a lot on B96 back then #23 - Hip Hop ballads rarely work and this song is an example why. My least favorite from Hammer and the Chi-Lites original is far superior #22 - Good track but I like other New Order songs over it (“True Faith”, “Blue Monday”, “Bizarre Love Triangle”, etc.) #21 - One of my all-time favorite 90s tracks alongside their other hit “Strike It Up” #20 - I like it #19 - I don’t like this one #18 - I like it but when it came to hip hop artist mega-coalitions making an anti-violence record, the better one was “Self-Destruction” from 1989 by the Stop the Violence Movement #17 - I like this one but prefer “My Fallen Angel” and “Where Are You Now” #16 -Not familiar with this one as I am with their other hits (“A Little Respect”, “Chains of Love”, “Take a Chance on Me”, etc.) #15 - One of my favorites from the New Jack Swing-era though I’m not familiar with this remix version #14 - Never heard of It #13 - I’m more used to the album version but like the remix version, the Soul IV Seoul Bite mix, heard on ADT better than that one. #12 - My 2nd favorite En Vogue songs after “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)” #11 - Good song but my favorites from her are “I Can’t Get No Sleep” and “Love & Happiness” with Masters at Work (the latter track using the alias River Ocean) #10 - I prefer most of his freestyle tracks over this New Jack Swing-like tune, which I’m not very familiar with. #9 - I like this one. One of my favorite 90s club records #8 - Good track by Keith Sweat but there others that I like better #7 - More used to their 80s R&B hits (“I’m Cool”, “Jungle Love”, etc.) and didn’t know about this one until much later. Sounds good though. #6 - Never heard of it. Sounds much like her mega-hit “Been Around the World” #5 - Never heard of it despite knowing a lot about “Back to Life” and “Keep on Movin’” #4 - One of the best 90s dance tracks ever #3 - I like it though I’m more used to the album version than the version heard on ADT #2 - One of the best New Jack Swing-era R&B tracks #1 - One of the best freestyle songs ever. Used to heard this one and some of Lamond’s other tracks on B96 back in the day. Most Requested #5 - Heard this one about 15 years ago as I only knew of “Me So Horny” and Luke’s solo hit “I Wanna Rock (Doo Doo Brown)” Most Requested #4 - Never heard of it as I’m more used to their uptempo freestyle hits (“Take it While It’s Hot”, “Sincerely Yours”, etc.) Most Requested #3 - Never heard of it as I’m only knew of “Two to Make It Right” and “Heartbeat” Most Requested #2 - Not familiar with this Madonna tracks. Don’t like it that much though and prefer many others from her. Most Requested #1 - Never heard of It and more familiar with other NKOTB songs New Trax - Never heard of it as I’m more used to their other tracks, such as “Maria” & “Louder Than Loud”, in addition to member K7’s solo hits after the group broke up. Extra (Flashback) - I like it but it’s not my favorite from the Jacksons/Jackson 5

The only good thing I can say about this song that it’s a lot better than his 1985 pop hit “Party All the Time” (One of the absolute WORST hit songs of the 1980s) #16 - Didn’t know they had a 1989 comeback hit as all I knew from them were their big 70s disco hits #15 - I like it but it’s not my favorite from her as I prefer “The Way You Love Me” and her two hits from 1991 over this one.

This song’s okay but I prefer several of their older 1980-1984 era tracks. #22 - One of my favorites from the 1987 “Bad” album #21 - This one’s alright but I prefer “Crush on You” and “Cross My Broken Heart” #20 - Decent but I prefer “Mercedes Boy” and her 1990 hit “Giving You the Benefit” #19 - I like it but it’s not my favorite from the “Bad” album #18 - This was my favorite Pebbles song #17 - One of my favorites from Gloria Estefan/MSM #16 - It’s okay but I preferred her other 80s hit “I Should Be So Lucky” over this one #15 - Didn’t like it initially but it soon grew on me #14 - My 2nd favorite Pet Shop Boys after “West End Girls” #13 - Decent but my favorite from her was “Only In My Dreams” #12 - One of my all-time favorite 80s dance-pop songs and this act’s overall best song #11 - One of my favorite 80s pop songs #10 - Not familiar with this one as I am with her 1990 ballad “Love Will Lead You Back” and her uptempo hits (like “Tell It To My Heart”) #9 - Never liked it as I often got it confused with his other mega-hit “Never Gonna Give You Up”. #8 - My least favorite from him and I prefer other tracks from him such as “Caribbean Queen”. #7 - My favorite song from INXS #6 - Expose’s best ballad track #5 – This one’s okay but I prefer many other 80s pop hits over it #4 – This one’s okay but my favorite from him was “Sign Your Name” #3 – I kinda like it but I prefer other George Michael/Wham songs over it #2 – My favorite track from Steve Winwood #1 - Used to hate this one when I was younger but my opinion on it changed as I got older and do enjoy this one now.
