Mariah Carey's first five singles went straight to the #1 spot. That streak ended when Mariah's sixth single "Can't Let Go" went to #2 in 1992, but couldn't find the strength to knock Color Me Badd's "All 4 Love" out of the top spot. I'll also remember working my first radio internship and the Programming Assistant (named Sabrina) running to the radio and cranking this song when it played.
Phil Collins, Elton John, and Gloria Estefan dominated Adult Contemporary radio back in the 1980s and '90s, yet have disappeared from modern radio. Seemingly, the only time you ever hear them is at the grocery store or your local CVS. This blog remembers the music, the stories and the quirky characters from my days working in Adult Contemporary radio.
